Checking with laptopscreen.com, I am told that I could use the following panels:
LG-Philips LP156WF1(TL)(B1) <== Edit: So far no information about this one.
CHIMEI INNOLUX N156HGE-L11 15.6 MATT LAPTOP SCREEN <== Edit: Apparently works but is slightly thinner than original panel and gamut is poor, 60%. Otherwise, it's ok.
AU Optronics 15.6" Matte LCD Screen B156HTN01.1 <== Edit: Apparently produces faint vertical lines on the screen. Unpleasant.
Since I had good luck with AUO, I looked further at that last panel, and found this admonishment at Bliss Computers:
And in fact, I found similar complains on this board. So it seems that laptopscreen.com's advice can't be depended on. Can someone clue me in to what path I might have to accomplish this upgrade? Might that AUO B156HW01 v.4 that worked in my T520/530's be an option? Unfortunately, that's priced at $150. How about the v.7, which can be had for a reasonable price ($80) and seems to work? How about that N156HGE-L11? Might that be a good choice?Will only replace Original Full HD 15.6 1920x1080 resolution ... Any up-gradation attempt from WXGA HD to Full HD or WXGA++ to Full HD will surely fail.

If your existing screen is WXGA HD 1366 x 768, please be advised that your effort to upgrade resolution will definitely fail. When installing our Full HD screen over your WXGA HD one, you will incur various issues like ghostly image or lines or white LCD. Although you may have read posts online that people were successfully replaing WXGA HD with Full HD, our product is an exception. The product is newer lot of Full HD, which comes with EDID built in. The difference here prevents an upgrade in resolution.
