SONY VAIO FS Seris 15.4" LCD Screen

I have never bought a screen without knowing the number of it.  But since you have to take it out to put in the new one anyway, I don't see what the problem is.

 I buy screens from Ebay quite often.  In fact, it is just about the only source I use for repair jobs. ; If you are careful and ask a few questions, it is not hard to get a good screen at a fair price there.  Most sellers will tell you if the screen has any  problems up front, but there are a few who have a bad attitude and if you don't ask, they will claim it is not their problem if the screen has a line of dead pixels or such.

Thanks for the help. I guess that makes buying a used LCD screen
off eBay or some other site a bit of a crap-shoot without the exact
number off the screen?
