LCD Upgrade question from WSXGA+ to WUXGA

I am tempted to upgrade the screen on my T61p from WSXGA+ to WUXGA.
Will I need to buy a new inverter or a new cable to perform the upgrade? Is the new screen all what I need to do it?
Thanks,

I guess your suggestion would work but I am more interested in hand-on experience.
Have anybody here performed this upgrade that they want to share?

I tried upgrading my T60 from XGA to SXGA+ without success.
I my case the inverter and the cable was the same as in the SXGA+ version, however the picture on the screen was bad.
My guess is that the interface on the LCD is "one-way" LVDS and the graphics controller therefore is unable to detect if you connect a display different from the one it is manufactured with. It is possible that this parameter is changeable, but I have no idea how to do that.
Please don't let my input stop your project. Let's hear what the real experts have to say about this.
