Upgrade WXGA+ Mid-2010 15" 2.4GHz i5 MBP to WSXGA+ Antiglare possible?

Question

Hello fine folks,
My girlfriend recently had an accident with her Mid-2010 MacBook Pro, and the LCD panel needs to be replaced.
Unfortunately, it was purchased in haste and as such, it's a base-configuration 15" machine with the glossy 1440x900 screen, and lowly 2.4GHz i5.  Further, AppleCare was not purchased for the machine and the original warranty is a thing of the past.  In any case, it has been upgraded with 8GB of RAM and a 500GB 7200rpm hard drive, making it a perfectly serviceable machine, if not an absolute screamer.
Given that we now need to replace the LCD, I'm wondering if it might be possible to kill two birds with one stone and upgrade to a high-resolution 1680x1050 LCD at the same time, preferably Antiglare.
I imagine I would need to acquire a whole new clamshell from an Antiglare model.  Assuming I could come across such an item, would it be as simple as removing the old clamshell with the broken LCD and installing the new clamshell?  Would there be any incompatibilities between the existing logic board/display subsystem and the high-res LCD panel?
I am perfectly comfortable doing such surgery myself.
Many thanks for any input/experience!
Bests,

Certainly not... but I'd rather source a complete antiglare clamshell lid and slap it on myself thus upgrading the machine, as long as I know I wouldn't have to replace the logic board as well... I've done plenty of surgery on notebooks, from removing a stuck business-card shaped CD from a 12" PowerBook G4 (requiring *complete* disassembly of the machine) to swapping ThinkPad T61 motherboards into T60 chassis creating a 15" 4:3 IPS FrankenPad which can take 8GB of ram... so I can handle swapping a display.
Local apple store hasn't told me clearly whether or not it's possible, just that they will only replace it with the original screen...
I can only find one logic board part # for a 2.4GHz mid-2010 15" MBP, which suggests to me that upgrading the screen should be no problem, but I'd love to hear from someone who's done it or can give a definitive answer as to whether or not it's possible...
