    I know a little about the B156HW01 screens since they are used in the Sager laptops and lots of discussion there. But was wondering if there were any other options that were cheaper? The B156HW01 is about $120 + shipping. I'm mainly interested in 1080p and good viewing angles. 60% gamut is fine and with decent brightness.

    Not sure how cheap you can find one though.

    Note that if it's for your ASUS you need to check the motherboard and cable are both capable of dual channel LVDS.
