Yes I echo Phil's comments- thanks for your support Xavier.
Others who are replacing TFT screens in Van Daal's FM3 builds may want to note that, because of the case design, Van Daal used long leg headers to connect the TFT to the PCB, so the display directly touched the clear plastic cover in the case and held it in place. The replacement TFT screen will probably have short leg headers. Therefore when you put the new TFT in, the TFT display height will not be level with the screen opening in the case, and therefore won't hold the clear plastic screen cover in place in the case.
If you really wanted to you could do some soldering work to put long leg headers on the new TFT screen. I haven't done that, I've just used duct tape around the edge of the clear plastic screen cover inside the case to attach it to the case. The display does sit a little below the plastic screen, but I haven't found that to be a problem.
