    Hi Im thinking of upgrading my g72 bb models screen.

    the lg 1600 x 900 is very nice but id rather have full hd.

    Im going to list you some screens ive found and want any feedback on which is the best one


    Chi Mei N173HHE-L11 LCD Screens, $156 retail price.

    heres a model that looks promising. Im not aware of any laptop that is using it at the moment or any owners


    AU Optronics B173HW01 LCD Screens, $156 retail price.

    heres the auo for comparison, same exact specs as far as brightness. I havent ever looked at it and aparently a lot of people love it.

    As a matter of fact its possible the auo is better than the cmo version. I just have found from experience that the cmo screens are usually top notch and better than auo screens.

    Its sort of like auo is mcdonalds they make 10 billion and cmo is the local burger shack they make a few.

    here we go. Its very likely sager notebooks use this one

    and heres the largely disliked hannstar

    http://www.lcds4less.com/HannStar-la...PUW1-A00.shtml


    those are all the ones Ive found for my research now they all have the same stats. I just have to figure out which is better.


    I dont want to generalize but people who hate backlight bleeding like lg screens better.

    people who like bright like auo screens. anyhow theres millions of screens. Strangely in this size there are no samsungs.

    my g72 has a lg 1600 x 900 screen and its very nice with remarkable horizontal viewing angles. It is only 220 nits however so it lacks in : resolution and brightness. Other than that its super nice with no bleed or anything.

    The B173HW01 v.0 has quite some rave reviews from Dell Studio 17xx and Sager NP8760 owners.

    But beware, there are two 1080p versions of this panel:

    B173HW01 v.0 (also known as an AUO109D) = 300 nit, 72% gamut
    B173HW01 v.4 (also known as an AUO149D) = 300 nit, 92% gamut (branded B+RG panel, from Dell)

    There are a few users that swapped their v.4 for v.0 panels, due to the lack of color calibration support in most Windows apps.
