My laptop has had an unfortunate incident recently and now the screen is broken. I've never replaced a laptop screen before and I'd like a little help.

The computer is a Dell D600 Latitude and the LCD screen is a 14.1" XGA, 20 pin. Can I buy any 14.1" XGA, 20 pin and expect it to work, or are there other compatibility issues I need to be aware of?
