Do the x200 and x200s have the same screen? (lemmy.ml)

Can I cannibalise the screen from one and put it into the other?

Searching tinternet shows they're both 12.1 inch screens, but I don't know if that means they identical.

The 1440x900 screen is exclusive to the X200s and has a LED backlight instead of CCFL. It can be swapped into the X200, gets you more pixels and battery life. No personal experience with a swap the other way round.

Edit: the entire lid assembly has to be swapped, not just the LCD.
