There are a lot of different screens throughout the MBP range. To find the exact specs of your display hook your machine to an external display, open terminal and enter this command:

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

This way you can be shure to order the right screen for your computer.

Usually. Check your model number on eBay if ifixit doesn't have the part.
