Why are you swapping them out?

Hi, because I want to put a 2011 lcd on my 2012 MacBook, and because it is the only connector I have got my hands on. I checked and the spare connexions on the motherboard are ground, it seems to be ok, please let me know what you think of it

@yanndetrie - Review my answer below, you don't need any parts! Just a slight modification to the 2011 displays LVDS cable.
I often replace dead 2011 logic boards with 2012 boards and this is all I need to do to get the older display to work. I too prefer the matte hires display!
