I have the 17" Macbook Pro MB166 with the low (1680 x 1050) resolution LCD - then my PA speaker fell off the wall and crushed my screen (bounced off it) - then my brother who had a dead 17" MBP sent me it - I installed the high resolution (1920 x 1200) screen from it and been using it for a week - i'm writing this comment with it.
ALTHOUGH it works fine I've been having issues with booting and an occasional screen freeze - a tech told me those issues have nothing to do with the LCD and it may be a RAM (I tested - Negative) or I or the crash messed up something on the logic board. I'm buying another of the same model.
