generally ebay, or if you can contact Dell and see how much a replacement screen would cost

one thing might be looking for semi-broken laptops on ebay with screens intact, and using them

Buying a replacement from Dell is generally a bad idea due to how much they tend to charge for LCD replacements.

Remove the screen from your computer, and search the model number on Google, on eBay, or on an LCD reseller's website such as laptopscreen.com

typically matte = less/no glare with sunlight, but won't give as "vivid" colors as glossy

do make sure that the matte one is compatible with your laptop

$20 more for the matte over the glossy.

Although to play it safe it sounds like you should remove screen first from the laptop and check using the model number---> http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/section/screen-part-number/

This. Without opening it up it will be hard to get an exact replacement. Laptops can use several different screens throughout their production run. Most times that are interchangeable, sometimes not. The LED screen connectors can be on the right or left side, sometimes the mounting brackets are in different locations too.

I ordered from laptopscreen.com and I can confirm they are reliable.
