Hmm
Hi, I found this topic through google, read up on what was going on, and figured, "what the hell?" and tried it out myself.
I went on ebay, bought a Toshiba display, followed the ifixit.com disassembly instructions, and hacked away. Installation went off without a hitch, except for those darn tabs sticking out of the new display that people have had difficulty with.
A really easy way to get rid of those of those rivit-welds is just with flush snips (wire cutters with one side flat so you can cut things flush with a flat surface). Just angle them as if to cut through the welds, and you can pop them right off. It WILL bend the metal casing a tiny bit, but not enough to matter or damage anything. Its purely cosmetic, and who is going to see it anyway?
Now, it seems OS X doesn't like the Toshiba display. Oddly enough, Windows has no issue, nor does my rEFIt bootloader, only X. Stuff shows up in X, but is all miscolored vertical lines, nothing usable.
Tomorrow I'm going to see if I can figure out the proper timings for this display and use DisplayConfigureX do make it work under my preferred OS.
Oh, but how beautiful it looks under windows...~droool~
I'll post any progress I make. I suspect we might be able to get the LG displays to work using a similar technique. The bootloader can handle it, windows can handle it, we're THIS close (|| <--- that's like less than a millimete on this screen, which is damn close) to getting OS X to handle it.
