    Sorry to hear that, mine has a wide range of brightnesses, maximum is much brighter than my previous laptop, and minimum is almost unusable. Have you checked your gamma/contrast settings? could be a windows problem instead of the panel, although unlikely.

    2k display is either doa or not compatible, having a bit of a battle with the seller to send it back for a refund though. so far i've spent £300+ on trying replacement displays for y50, so might give up now as sending displays back to to china costs close to £40 :(

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has successfully replaced the FHD screen in the Y50 with a UHD screen or if this is even possible or if there is a comparable screen that works. Thanks.

    I just installed my new screen and am having the same issue. My brightness is at the highest setting and it still doesn't seem satisfactory.

    Are you planning on returning your screen for a replacement or an entirely new model?

    My LG panel just came in. At the same time, I fixed my AUO display by bending the black tape area outwards, its actually secured by 2 metal hinge, look to the side and bend the hinge will do the job.

    I prefer the AUO display to the LG, because the glossy screen on the LG is a little straining to me eyes. Clarity wise, LG edges out a little. The dark on the LG is very black as well. On some movies, the details are lost. Refer to the screenshot I posted above. Areas that are dark on the LG may be totally black and lose details. But both triumps the Chi Mei display that people can throw away literally.

    Not sure if it comes in Matt for exact model. I believe the spd1 may be matt... slight difference in serial number.

    Im using AUO instead now, maybe im used to it, gloss appear just a tad more harsh to my eyes... the original panel is "very harsh" to my eyes anyway, 5 mins using it and I know i can't take it in the long-term.

    Those pictures are hard to determine if they look good.. especially if you're looking at them on this laptop before changing out the screen haha.
    Definitely should be viewed on a mobile phone, or a desktop with a good monitor

    Because it is a bright scene of the movie, in that movie, the ending part were mostly dark areas, and I had trouble figuring the details out.

    No doubt colors are better in LG, its a glossy display we're talking about. The only problem I had with LG was the dark areas were almost pitch black, covering a lot of details especially in a movie, more so when the movie is "dark". U can see the guy character had a inner armor on the AUO, on the LG, the guy appeared only to have a strap across his shoulders.

    The AUO display also had more hair details than the one on LG. I will only recommend LG if ur want a fuss free experience, I opt for a LG panel because I had problems with my AUO display, similar to many members who are experiencing the same problems.

    hi
    first of all, I apologize for my bad English, I'm Spanish
    I am interested in buying a panel for my Y50, I had thought of LP156WF4 (SP) (D1)
    but I'm confused because laptopscreen gives you a choice of four models
    for example
    LP156WF4(SP)(D1) compatible Portatil LCD Pantalla Desde $59.99 flamantes pantallas.
    I intersado by matte panel but which of the two models I have to buy? Is the panel that costs 60 euros or 70 euros it costs?

    in addiction, if you guys could recommend me the exact model on ebay or amazon, it might be cheaper shipping cost than buying laptopscreen page
    thank you :)

    PS: do not need it at amazon or ebay Spain, I am content with that send to Spain

    A variety of method solved the problem temporarily, including the "screw bending" and "connector". It turns out both did not solve the problem, and the problems resurfaced in less than 24hrs, turns out the problem is with the bottom circuit board covered with black tapes. I believe back at the factory, it was not packaged properly to begin with, thus lots of problems surfaced for everyone.

    If you experience problems such as black areas, distorted colors etc, try to bend the bottom black tape circuit board a little... Give it a slight nudge at first and see if it improves things. If it does, u know where the problem lies, I used to think it was loose connector and reconnect a few times and even want to get a new connector ribbon. For my case, with the screen facing me, I bend my black tape area towards me. I gotten both my LG and AUO from ali-express, their things are well packaged and since it is from China, probably straight from the factory saving u a substantial amount of costs. Just check seller ratings when u purchase from them.

    ur over-excited. Ask your questions again on this board when u receive urs, Im not running a "convincing" service here. The only part that is part of the laptop and in-separable for the display mod is only the ribbon cable. I do not see any black-tape area on the laptop itself after removing the screen.

    The rest of ur question is answered in my previous posts. Go to my profile and read from post 1 onwards.

    i recieved it today
    when tried to replace the display found that the replacement screen has the 30pin jack which is bent an an angle almost 30-45 degree.. while the default one is horizontal..is there a problem with this kind of port?
    when i tried replacing the screen it didn't display anything...
    Moreover the older display is not working now ...
    what should i do?
    ________________________________________________________________________________----_______________________________________________________
    so i discovered what was wrong...
    it needed a bit extra force to push the pin locked....
    screen is a way better than the stock one...viewing angles are 100 times better than stock one,,same is the case with color reproduction..white is white,,red is red,,black is black,,green is green,,and so on..
    screen brightness is lesser than the stock(~20% lesser)..but fine cause the stock one is too bright at 100%..
    overall i am happy now...I WOULD SAY THAT THIS LAPTOP NEEDS A SCREEN REPLACEMENT 1ST ,,OTHER THAN REPLACING ANYTHING,
    thanks for your help...

    Yes, both LG and AUO are IPS panel. Just that my LG is glossy while my AUO is matt.

    Indeed when u watch "Edge of Tomorrow" on LG, u almost cannot make up the details, like everything's too dark. Even in the screenshot i provided of a scene in daytime, the uniform of the actor/actress is already very dark, hardly any details. And all these has nothing to do with the brightness but how the panel handles the color, perhaps the Intel HD graphics panel can tweak the colors but I haven't found anyone with a workaround settings. Anyway the pictures are not screenshot but taken from a compact camera, so that colors are true to what u actually see on the screen. Glad u managed to swap ur panel out.

    Hey, I was looking at b156han01.2 and debating Glossy or Matte. Knowing both are IPS. Does the b156han01.2 in Matte have good viewing angles since its matte? or does matte/glossy doesnt matter as long as its IPS itll have good viewing angles?

    Any input would be great, thanks!

    I do not notice that myself. I mean... how can u be sure that the colors are too dark? Perhaps the colors u see are the true colors? and that all along u had been seeing the colors wrongly on another panel? I'm happy with my AUO and can't find any fault other than the manufacturing quality.

    Hi there, u'll need to read up more on displays if ur interested to swap urs out. It helps u make informed choices.

    IPS has good viewing angles, matt or glossy doesn't matter. Regarding which u prefer, I suggest u read up on the differences. Wikipedia summarizes topics pretty well.

    So I recently purchased a Y50 and unfortunately ended up with the Chi Mei screen. I've been reading this thread and doing research elsewhere on which screen to order, but I'm confused by something.

    When I look up the B156HAN01.2 for purchase on laptopscreen.com, there are numerous versions of the screen listed with prices ranging from $59.99 to $159.99. The only differences/features listed are (1) Glossy vs. Matte; (2) IPS Compatible; (3) High Color Gamut. However, for purposes of researching the specs on the AUO B156HAN01.2, sites like Panelook.com don't distinguish between various versions of the B156HAN01.2. So how are you supposed to know exactly what you're getting when you choose one from laptopscreen.com and/or what the differences are between each offering? For instance, I'd like to know the color gamut, contrast ratio, etc., for the exact screen I'm ordering.

    Here's the link to the B156HAN01.2 on laptopscreen.com: B156HAN01.2 Replacement Laptop LCD Screen From $59.99 Brand-new screens.

    Am I missing something here?

    You may be missing something.

    Consider LaptopScreen a business (which it is).
    And just like any other business it has traditional customers, and as such it will be oriented towards their needs.

    Historically (and we've been on the market for a decade now)
    99% of LaptopScreen customers are owners of a cracked LCD in a computer that they cannot use, and they are looking to regain the use of their computer on a budget and in record time.
    LaptopScreen ships the same day and offers the most comprehensive way to find a working panel which can be shipped TODAY using whichever relevant information the customer can provide:
    Laptop name, laptop series, laptop model number, laptop vendor part number or LCD panel model number.

    As such LaptopScreen's search will find and show a listing for a buyable item that will ship today (provided you order by 1pm PST).
    The item will be brand-new and in a guaranteed working condition (or your money back) and it will be covered by a 3 year in-house warranty, that protects the item against any defects, except for those caused by physical damage. And it can be ordered to be at the customer's house the next day.

    As it stands, all of you fine enthusiasts on NBR and other similar sites are the vanguard of a developing market of pro-sumers that take much closer interest in laptop screens, beyond that of the general public, who value the optical specs, who can tell the difference between contrast ratio and gamut, and who are aware of the response rates and the various LCD sub-technologies. LaptopScreen does not officially recommend resolution upgrades, nor does it recommend switching in a panel that was never shipped with your computers by default. But we try to accommodate any interest in our products, with the customer's final goal in-mind.

    LaptopScreen is a reputable company, with physical facilities and inventory in the USA and in Canada (never shipping individual orders to North American customers from overseas).
    LaptopScreen has LCDs of various models, formats and purposes (mostly laptop, tablet and smartphone screens), and we welcome any and all interest in our offering.

    Unfortunately, since the demand of the model specific LCDs is limited to the pro-sumer segment, and since unfortunately this segment forms only a fraction of one percent of the "replacement market", there is yet a store that is dedicated to your needs by default. We understand your concerns, we think about these demands quite a bit; and it is truly great to have folks who are willing to spend their time to learn more about something that is dear to us.

    There are tons of new laptops coming out with these mediocre TN 15.6" standard profile screens that use eDP connectors - and all of them will be compatible with these new high-tech IPS/AHVA/PLS panels,
    and we will be stocking more and more of these newer panels as they appear.

    Final point to keep in-mind is our supply - we are "second in the line" at the LCD factories to receive stocks of new LCD panels,
    but because of the limited capacities of the global LCD plants (LCDs require large high-tech establishment to manufacture properly), there will be a bit of a delay before these panels appear on our shelves.
    Since B156HAN models are being actively showed into new laptops right now - we are getting them in small quantities and on irregular schedules.

    To everyone who is looking for the specific models, AUO AHVA screens, Samsung PLS screens - please contact us prior to completing your order.
    The easiest way - is to use the chat on our site (right bottom corner) - all of our chat agents can check physical availability of specific models - and can advise immediately whether a certain model is available on-hand.
    (Do keep in-mind: a chat session on a Monday morning will be a different experience in comparison to a late afternoon mid-week, for the comprehensive answers regarding custom topics - wait till after lunch - after 1pm PST - that way you will get all the attention and the mental-time of the agent)

    We welcome your requests, as they help us to plan stock priorities and to gauge the interest in this developing topic.

    You are also welcome to PM me.

    Regards,

    Ellis

    Ellis, thanks for the reply. I was actually using laptopscreen.com by way of example -- my question would apply equally to eBay listings, etc. -- but I appreciate your response which is certainly understandable. But I'm still a bit confused.

    I'm not looking for a specific model per se -- I'm just a consumer who'd like sufficient information to consider whether I should buy the cheapest "version" of the B156HAN01.2 you guys offer or pay almost $100 more for the most expensive one. Are you saying you don't have the specs for each listing? If so, how do you guys distinguish between them for pricing purposes?

    Please don't take this as an attempt to challenge or discredit your practices in any way -- I'm simply new to this process and want to make the most informed purchase I can. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

    No worries Ryams27,

    To further explain the listings, one thing has to be said first:
    Our site "expects" the customer to have a broken LCD with that model number and that the customer is looking to get a working computer back.
    From this expectation the solid information comes out: customer has a "razor thin" 15.6" LCD profile, and an eDP port.

    We currently have TN panels that would work in a 15.6" "razor-thin" LCD profile (top and bottom tab mountings) with an eDP connector - that is the cheapest option when looking at our listings that are compatible with B156HAN01.2 - likely to ship a ChiMei panel - those that you guys are "finding" in your y50s right now.

    We currently have IPS panels that would work in a 15.6" razor-thin" LCD profile (top and bottom tab mountings) with an eDP connector - that is the second option ("COMPATIBLE IPS DISPLAY") when looking at our listings that are compatible with B156HAN01.2 - likely to ship the LG's LP156WF4_SPU1

    We currently have a brand-spanking-new shipment of B156HAN01.2 IPS panels in mint condition that would work in a 15.6" razor-thin" LCD profile ( top and bottom tab mountings) with an eDP connector - that is the third option ("HIGH COLOR GAMUT. IPS DISPLAY") when looking at our listings that are compatible with B156HAN01.2 - this will ship the actual B156HAN01.2 - which is available in our Seattle location.

    One thing to note: B156HAN01.2 is a Matte panel model number - this specific LCD model number comes Matte from the factory. We do not modify the surface finish of the panel - so if you order a "Glossy" B156HAN01.2 which is remarked "COMPATIBLE IPS DISPLAY" (middle price tier) - you will get the LG's LP156WF4_SPU1



    To make it easier on your eyes you can use this link for a single option for the actual B156HAN01.2:

    B156HAN01.2 Replacement Laptop LCD Screen From $59.99 Brand-new screens.


    Please note, this information regarding the availability of the B156HAN01.2 is "good for" just the next couple of days - after which it is highly recommended that you confirm with our chat re:availability before ordering.

    Another "trick" you can do - is when placing the order, in the "Order notes" field - put in "SHIP B156HAN01.2 ONLY" - every order is approved manually for shipment - your order will be cancelled and refunded by our administration if this model is not physically available for shipment.

    Yes. Changing the gamma/contrast is worst. The only problem is the brightness level.

    I've returned the screen and I'm now waiting for an answer from the seller. I hope they will reimbursed me if they can't find another brighter screen. Then, I will probably go for another model.

    Since you've got both LG and AUO panels, how would you rank them in brightness with reference to the stock one. As there are some reports of lower brightness from AUO.

    I've been following this thread and I'll soon order my replacement panel from aliexpress. I want something brighter than my stock Chimei panel.

    It seems all LGs are working flawless whereas some AUO need tinkering. The samsung LTN156HL01 could be the mid ground. Looking forward to your answers. Cheers.

    I was wondering if you knew anything about replacing the display in the touch screen model of this laptop?

    Those of you who've upgraded to the AUO B156HAN01.2, has the 25 ms response time been an issue? Any ghosting when gaming, etc.?

    I do not use my laptop under maximum brightness. I cannot tell you which panel is brighter, as each brightness step may vary between panels. I use lvl 3 brightness on the AUO and lvl 5 brightness on the LG, if thats the information ur looking for. Even with the Chimei panel, I do not use maximum brightness.

    From the people I've seen talking on here, it doesn't. However, I actually notice some screen tearing on the stock screen. If you'll be using this computer for heavy gaming and you want great response times, you can still upgrade to a TN screen and still get MUCH better image quality. Here's a few TN screens worth looking at:

    300 Nits, 500:1 Contrast, 8ms, Matte (Same as above, just matte):

    there is some serious ghosting when browsing(with chrome) and then move to a dark screen(gray[when shutting down]..or any other app which has dark screen) ..it leaves behing some traces of the previous background (mostly white lining and some image)..but never seen this issue while gaming battlefield,watch dogs etc..
    i really like this display ,,colors+viewing angle..awesome...
    a little bit ++ghosting is a part of this beautiful display,,,no regrets anyways

    I want to replace the display of my Y50 UHD because of the very awkward "yellow" (i use my notebook for photoshop), which display can i use?
    1800p/1080p would be fully enough, just need good color and when possible a low latency.

    is there more info about this panel?
    Screen for IBM Lenovo IDEAPAD Y50 59421859. Replacement Laptop LCD Screen

    or does this one fit?
    SHARP LQ156D1JX01 Overview - Panelook.com

    any info about which displays i can use would be very apreciated.

    and any info about the 48hz problem too

    Thanks a lot for the reply. I actually ordered a B156HAN01.2 from lcdtech on eBay and received it on Saturday. Unfortunately it looks like FedEx manhandled the package, as the box was torn/disfigured. Sure enough, the corner of my screen was badly bent which shattered the screen. I'm currently waiting for lcdtech to send me a replacement. I'll report back on my experience.

    2nd one definitely does not fit as the connector pin pitch is 0.4mm (y50 UHD is 0.5mm).
    First one I suspect is a typo as the only 3200 x 1800 display that I know of also has 0.4mm pitch and it definitely does not fit (I know this because i ordered one).

    Update: lcdtech has already shipped a replacement screen at no cost to me. Hopefully this one will arrive intact. Either way, I'm impressed by the responsiveness/customer service.

    Hi guys!


    So we went ahead and acquired a Lenovo Y50 to see what all the buzz was about :)

    Wow, what a panel right out-of-the-box, I can see what you mean now...

    We did a video of the following panels:
    First panel - LG LP156WF4(SP)(U1) - IPS WIDE VIEW ANGLES
    Second panel - AUO B156HAN01.2 - IPS WIDE VIEW AND HIGH GAMUT
    Original panel - InnoLux N156HGE-EAB - TN, narrow angles, bad color, bad back-light bleed, horrible color shift

    The camera is in fixed focus, fixed exposure and white-balanced to the LG panel.

    The AUO panel is ~70% dimmer than the other two panels - but it has almost no backlight bleed.
    On the video is looks completely dark - but I could still see that it's on with my eyes.

    Personally I think the glossy LG panel was the best - bright, colorful and dazzling.
    The AUO panel may be physically able to display more distinct colors - but that is strictly a Photoshop/Printshop prerogative.

    Feel free to request more tests while we still have this laptop.

    I would really like to upgrade, but the input lag makes me nervous since I am just using this for gaming. However, this stock TN panel's viewing angles are so frustrating.
