Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Retina LCD Screen Assembly for MacBook Pro 13" A1706 A1708 - Space Gray by Eric Smithlin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great screen, poor camera quality

My Applecare ran out last year and of course my laptop (A1706 2016) decided to fall out of bed and crack the LCD. I called several places including Apple and they kept calling me for around $600-$700. I decided to buy this screen and install it myself using a YouTube video and ifixit(.)com instructions. I have no technical experience and was able to install it successfully. However, there are some flaws, I think it's a bit darker than the original MacBook and the hue is a little different. I had to make some adjustments. I only give it 4 stars because the camera quality is TERRIBLE and unfortunately I use the zoom a lot for work. Now I had to use my iPhone. very bad.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors arrived
