So... my MacBook Pro is 5 years old now
(see my specs. below in my signature). I just turned it on and noticed that it looks like there is a pixel starting to go. its not stuck or anything, just looks cloudy/almost like a super tiny crack under the glass. I have really looked at it, there is a super small chance that its a piece of dust on top of the LCD but under the glass but i don't think so. I am super anal about things and no one else would notice it haha, but just makes me think the screen may start to get funky soon. I looked on ifixit and a new screen is only $100 (I will not be replacing unless it completely dies or others get worse).
so, to my question, haha. I noticed that they sell the regular screen like i have, then they have a anti-glare model (which i think was an option for me when i got this but i said no), & then the high-resolution (glossy or anti-glare). when I got mine i remember that the hi-res ones had a silver border around the screen instead of the black like mine and i did not like the silver border so i got the regular.
Can i purchase one of the high-resolution screens and install it in this Mac? I know it may take some OS work or maybe even a different connector, but is it possible. will it work?
