ASAP! 2009 Display in 2008 MacBook?

History

I am looking for a laptop on ebay and found an ok one with no display (just the palmrest+logic board). I have found an awesome deal on an LCD + Display housing, but it is for a mid 2009 macbook pro. Will the 2 be compatible? I know they updated the display on the 2009 mbp as well as moving the sleep magnent, but that is a minor issue. Please respond ASAP! The auction ends soon and I need to know what to bid.

Please give the model numbers for both machine.

mayer,

A1286, 15" late 2008 MBP Display is from a mid 2009 MBP pro of the same size. (later model but same A1286 identifier)

As long as they are the same model numbers, you should have no problems.

I am asking as many of the model have the same number (I think the new 2011 model is still A1286). I am asking because the new display (2009) has "605 better color gamut" (whatever that is) according to apple. But did they change ldvs cables between then?
