Easy installation by watching the youtube instructions on another computer, but unfortunately not OEM quality.

Easy to install watching youtube instructions on another computer if available. OEM. Looks almost exactly like the broken one I took out. It even has the same stickers on the back with almost the same numbers (I guess the difference isn't much more than the date of manufacture). A third of what MicroCenter charged me, and that doesn't even include labor! Looks and feels the same. The only thing I didn't expect (but probably should have) was that I had to recalibrate the color and contrast after installation, but that only takes a few minutes so no big deal. Take it, you won't regret it. I almost feel like I no longer have to worry about broken laptop screens since they are so cheap and easy to replace! But I will leave the old one there until someone announces that they will pick up electronic scrap. It may be too valuable or toxic to just toss in the trash. Update: After about a month of using the new display, I'm disappointed. I'm often annoyed by stripes that look like concentric ovals that vary slightly in brightness. I don't recall seeing this on the original display. My conclusion is that I either got a lemon or despite all indications to the contrary this part is not OEM or equivalent. I won't be taking my laptop apart again because of this, but I'm reminded every day that maybe I shouldn't have bought it from the lowest bidder.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Negative present
