    Here is the story (not a native English speaker, sry for any misleading)
    I checked my lcd right after i recieved my G73JH , unfortunately, it's the worse one AUO, but comes with ddr 1333 which compensates a little bit my saddness.
    Two days after using the laptop , i decided to DIY my screen , the prices for AUO and LG i searched on Ebay are:
    LG LP173WD1 $130(Free H&S)
    AUO B173RW01 $160 (No free shipping)

    Keep searching on Taobao(Biggest C2C E-business in China,may the biggest in the world now).Prices are:
    LG 580 yuan
    AUO 600 yuan

    Now, I erase my desire to change the screen,since,hey, i get the more expensive one.(Its silly self-comfort, but i do feel better)
    Post your ideas pls (reasons for the interesting price? )

    hahaha nice to know at least we got the more expensive, albeit inferior, LCD :) I also have the BB one and only found out I had the AUO last night. But I find the screen to be adequate, though too glossy with bad viewing angles. What about you? How do you find the LCD?

    Yeah, the viewing angle is really bad, i need to adjust the angle frequently whenever i change my sitting position,but after the adjustment,everything is fine to go.
    I talked to a seller on Taobao about both of the screen, he told me both screen has 600 contrast rate and HP DV7 series use the AUO one,the exact same model on our G73jh.
    I was trying to find a RGB-LED or IPS lcd which may works on G73 also, failed, no products offered in the market.
    So,just accept our inferior AUO :D while others still complain and want to get the LG one so deep that can not fall in sleep :p
