***THIS HAS BEEN FOUND LOCALLY... for an XGA at $159 >< and I just got an offer. Oh well, life is like this sometimes.**

I recently got a R50e with a smashed LCD. UXGA FlexView would be nice, but apparently it won't cooperate well with integrated Intel graphics. So, to be safe, I'd like a XGA or SXGA+ LCD. SXGA+ FlexView would be preferred.

Edit: Also, I'm not looking to spend much, <$150 would be ideal.

Would an SXGA+ from an A31 work?
1 dead pixel only noticeable with Black screen.

Could have new Backlight or not. I ordered a new backlight to brighten it up, but haven't it put it in yet.

From what I've seen in other threads, I'm all but certain an A3x screen won't fit in a R5x machine.

Don't need it anymore - I found an XGA LCD for $159 from my local computer store. Probably overpaid, and this was just as someone PM'd me an offer... and I don't want to pay restocking fees.

I may consider upgrading in the future though...
