    Hello everyone, glad to be in a forum with multiple conversations about the 8770w.
    On my 8770w laptop the screen is broken.
    I have opened and had the model: LP173WF1 TL B5
    I bought a compatible model: N173HGE L11
    I have assembled it and I do not like to see. It seems somewhat dark. The brightness adjustment to the maximum but I do not like to see.
    What is happening here? The compatible panel are not good?
    Should I go to another option?
    My screen frame has a DreamColor sticker
    What does that mean? the broken screen is not DreamColor I think.
    Maybe in the past?
    Can I then add a DreamColor screen here?

    If you shine a flashlight on the panel do you see any display at all that way?

    [QUOTE = "Vaardu, post: 11040181, member: 683461"] Si enciende una linterna en el panel, ¿ve alguna pantalla de esa manera? [/ QUOTE]
    If there is light on the screen, but the previous one was brighter, more vivid, now it is as if I am wearing sunglasses.

    I think the 8770w's DreamColor panel is from the LP173WF3 family. Does the cable go directly in the display or goes through another PCB mounted on the display frame?

    I have installed the AMD Radeon application and accessed additional settings. Now the screen N173HGE L11 looks great
