Replacing LCD Screen

[emenken]

Hello!

I am fairly experienced with computers and have reformatted numerous laptops and desktops, but I have never had to deal with a cracked screen before.  My parents have a Toshiba Satellite A305 laptop with a 15.4" WXGA LCD Screen with a CCFL Single Bulb backlight.  I am hoping to be able to fix their computer for them but am wondering about the compatibility of laptop screens.

Do I have to purchase one that is specifically made for this brand and model of computer or can I purchase any LCD with comparable specs?

Thank you for your assistance!
