    Hello I've purchased a 8570w with a normal display and have read that the dreamcolor displays are horrible for the 8570's compared to the 8770w's .
    Now I was going to buy the entire dreamcolor assembly and replace it from grape888 on yoycart but I dont want to spend the money if its not worth it. Does anyone here have anything to say?
    Also to add to the complications theres several other 10 bit 40 pin screens that I could purchase to replace the one in the assembly if its not good. These arent dreamcolor but are 10 bit over 40 pin which Im not sure if this laptop could support?
    Theres 4: LP156WF3-SLB1 ,LP156WF3-SLB2, LP156WF3-SLB3, and LP156WF3-SLB4
    Does this mean all of these are compatible with the 8570w even though they are 10 bit on a lvds with 40 pins instead of the dream colors 10 bit over 50 pins. They are all 10 bit screens FHD .Thank you. Also some websites say they are 50 pin screens not 4p pin, which I believe is true, and on alibaba they say they are compatible with the 8560w. Im assuming these panels will all work if hooked up properly. Any help is much appreciated.
