Compatibility matters

Why we need the exact laptop

Screen size alone is not enough. Panels can differ even within the same model family.

Model verification

We check the complete laptop model and, where needed, the part number on the installed panel.

Correct quotation

Pricing depends on panel type and availability. Touch and high-refresh panels usually cost more.

Installation and testing

We fit the replacement and test image, brightness, fitment and basic display operation.
