Default [Q] Folio 100 replacement LCD

Somehow I managed to break the screen on my Folio 100.
I want to at least try and replace the screen(which according to what I've read and seen shouldn't be too difficult).
It uses the N101L6-L0D screen from Chi Mei Optoelectronics, if you google "N101L6-L0D specs" the first link to appear should be a .pdf with all the technical specs of the LCD.
Based on the specs on the .pdf could you recommend a superior screen that would work on it, the Folio 100 LCD is annoying, you have to either hold it directly at your face or upside down to not get that annoying color change.
And please don't reply with "Just buy a new tablet" like I see so many others do, that's not what I asked for.

Here in Iceland I bought my Folio for 70.000 ISK, it will cost me around 15.000 ISK to repair the screen, I like my Folio, I replaced the Android 2.2 with 3.0, giving me the android market which made the tablet 10x more useful.
So I'd like to salvage this thing.

First I must say I have no experience with these sellers or their products. Use Paypal so you get protection from being scammed.

If you search for "Toshiba Folio" on eBay you get a list of stuff related to the Folio, and among them are two Italian sellers selling screens for the Folio.
I'm not allowed to post direct links, but if you search make sure you do a worldwide search. I think their listings are done on eBay Italy.

You could try asking them about the quality of the screens. The price is reasonable.
