I’ve thought about this a lot. The 13” Mid-2012 Model is my favorite MacBook Pro. It’s built like a tank, works like a horse and near completely fault-proof. Except the bottom RAM slot problem. Taking a look on panelook.com and trying to narrow down for a better LCD by any parameter, the closest I could find to match the size, aspect ratio, signal type etc was this [http://www.panelook.com/HV133WX1-100_HYDIS_13.3_LCM_overview_3623.html|BOE HYDIS HV133WX1-100 (BOE0A28) panel]. I don’t see a specific indication for it being IPS, but it filtered down as being IPS in the search engine. Significant hardware difference being that instead of the 30pin LVDS connector, you have a 40pin one. Further implications to me are unknown as I have no understanding in that, but could be something a more knowledgable person could delve into. Would be cool to at least have nice colours and a better viewing angle on our favorite compact form factor, most repairable MacBooks of recent time.
