Y50 Replacement Displays Compendium

According to this: Panel Specification Compare - Panelook.com

Here are the differences:
1.1
eDP 1.3
5.6W max
Panel input current: 433mA max
Panel power consumption: 1.3W max
Issue date: 2013-2-8

1.2
eDP 1.1a
5.5W max
Panel input current: 400mA max
Panel power consumption: 1.2W max
Issue date: 2012-10-9


Everything else is the same. I'm sure the issue date doesn't mean much. Other than the possibility that something wasn't working right with the first one so they discontinued it and made changes to it so it would work better (explains eDP and max power usage).

 

You got the 2 models mixed up, 1.1 is the newer one.

 

Wow, definitely can see the improvement, thank you for sharing! Now if you don't mind me asking, have you done any gaming on it thusfar? If so, do you really feel the difference in the response time coming from the stock TN panel and is ghosting a problem at all? Thanks again for taking the time to post that.

 

I ordered a screen from Laptop Screens, the LP156WF4(SP)(D1). This is one of the screens many discussed on this thread and others have gotten as well. Myself, just like some of the others on this thread have commented about light bleed due to pressure from the bezel on the corners on screen. I have looked at it closely, and unfortunately it seems that the way the Y50 bezel is designed, and the way the screen is designed, there will always be some pressure on the corners of the LP156WF4(SP)(D1) screen. How your screen reacts to the pressure may be different. I get a light greenish hue at select corners when the screen is displaying a black or dark image.

I reached out to @LSB about this (a Laptop Screen rep active on this thread). He has unfortunately not responded. Laptop Screens tech support offered to take back the screen, but will not issue a refund on shipping only on cost of screen. They also do not have B156HAN01.1 and B156HAN01.2 in stock so a switch (gratis) is not possible.

Something to keep in mind when picking screens! Otherwise, LP156WF4(SP)(D1) is a fantastic screen with amazing viewing angles. The white could be slightly whiter, the brightness is fantastic. I wish there was a color management profile for it I could use.

 

Ah yes, thanks for that. I'll make the edit.

 

I actually ordered a B156HAN01.2 IPS matte, a short while ago from them. I made sure to ask the rep there if it was in stock and was told they have couple. Hope things work out. I'll also post some comparison pics when I receive it.

 

Thanks, I will ping them again to see if they have it in stock. It's very weird, I told them to check out this thread on the matter. The fact that others are having light-bleed problems too. Does anyone with a LP156WF4(SP)(D1) not have any issues with light-bleed and bezel pressure?

 

Would you minds posting the link where you bought it from?

 

I did the chat option on their site yesterday and was told the 1.2 version won't be available anymore (none in stock).

I asked about 1.1 and was told none in stock. Hopefully you'll have some better luck. Still wanting to get a matte panel.

 

Guess I spoke too soon, just received a cancellation email from them. I specifically stated to not send a compatible display which is why
they cancelled. So you're absolutely correct about them being out of stock.

Will probably go the ebay route instead.

@ThatAngryGnome I saw this seller has available, only thing is not sure if it's an IPS display.

 

@SDhasher21 @Techman1982 .

I was just told by support they do not have any in stock.

 

On Skyrim, Sleeping Dogs, Fallout NV and Thief I did not notice any difference to be honest.
However I play single player games, I cant guarantee for a fast paced multiplayer performance.

 

Just ordered this:
Wholesale Product Snapshot Product name is B156HAN01.1 Thin slim Laptop Screen IPS

The seller told me it is the exact model (B156HAN01.1), it is in stock and its glossy.
This is what i was looking for.

 

Well it looks like the the right pins and screw holes. I am hesitant about Ali Express, pls let us know once you get it!

 

QFT, hope he gets thru tho.

Currently in contact with an Amazon reseller who has the B156HAN01.2 in stock. May go that route instead.

 

I thought the B156HAN01.1 only came in matte.

The seller lists the brand name as AUO and LG. Seems strange; update on what you get though!

 

Cool, thanks for sharing. I just ordered one off of eBay and was told I would be getting the exact model and also as glossy. Here's the link for anyone interested:
15 6" 1920x1080 LED Screen for AU Optronics B156HAN01 1 LCD Laptop | eBay

I was told that while ordering just message them and ask to please specify the exact model you would like and if you would like matte or glossy. If they do not have what you specified they will refund you. The warehouse is also located in Texas and the panel will supposedly be delivered to NY by Tuesday which is awesome.

 

I just talked to the same seller yesterday and they had told me they did not have the exact model in stock and will be sent a compatible model if I order

 

That's definitely odd. I made it a point to tell them that I wanted that exact model and with a glossy finish and I had them confirm it today in which they responded that it would be what I specified and it shipped out today. I wouldn't be surprised if I get it and it's not the right model but I'll hope for the best! I will post comparison pictures and such if it comes in correct.

 

I would've gotten one from them, but their return policy is just complete bs to me. so far I don't trust any sellers without at least a year of warranty, and that's why I want laptopscreen to stock the samsung pls panel and the auo ahva panel badly

 

Hi guys, I've been looking through this thread and I've decided to replace my screen.

I have a few question though which I hope you gus can help clarify.

I've seen the b156Han01.2 on laptop-lcd-screen.co.uk and they have them in stock. My question is the b156Han01.1 a better screen?

They also seem to have the b15han03.0 and the b156han03.2. What is the difference between these panels?
I can't seem to find any info on the displays and panelook is just so confusing to me. I have yet to get confirmation whether or not these screen are in stock.

Which screen would you guys recommend?

Thanks,

Edit: they are AUO screens.

 

B156HAN01.1 (only in matte) is the newer production model. Not much different from B156HAN01.2 (can get matte or glossy). Buy the one that is cheaper/available. Make sure you specify to whomever you purchase from that you want an exact model. Resellers typically sell "compatible" screens and not the exact screen. B156HAN03.0 cannot be installed on the Y50 (it has the wrong plug).

 

Just installed my B156HAN01.1. Works perfectly. Bought on ebay from lcdtech889. I can tell the difference versus the Chi Mei. Colors aren't too noticeably better (about 30% according to panellook), but the viewing angle are much better.

 

Can you do a quick check on your computer to see what is says the Hardware ID is?

 

Still hoping for laptop screens to restock because they seem to offer the best warranty out of all the options.

 

Hello everyone.
I'm gona buy the lenovo Y50-70, i5 version with non touch display.
Besides replacing the screen, can i add a touch screen? Does the motherboard even has a digitizer connector?

 

i don't think this is possible due to the thicker housing of the touch model as it has to accommodate the thicker touch screen. The non-touch model might be too slim.

 

I can change to a AUO B156HAN01.2 Matte as a nearby shop offers it, should I change to it? :/

 

sure, if the shop offers a good warranty. the problem with most ebay sellers is that their return policy and warranty is complete bs

 

auo11ed -- Now I'm worried. Did they send me an old/different monitor? Looks like they might have sold me a screen from 2012 which is actually the B156HW01 V1. My screen had a sticker on the back with B156HAN01.1 printed on it and a barcode so I don't know. They re-assured me they would send the exact B156HAN01.1 screen.

This was on ebay through lcdtech889.

Can anybody help me confirm this? Is that the correct hardware id?

AIDA64 lists AUO11ED
HWiNFO64 lists B156HW01 V1 with Week: 0, Year: 2012 Manufacturer date

 

From what I can see on panellook the AUO B156HW01 V1 uses LVDS as connector - but I'm not really sure that's the whole truth, as according to this they are the same. But the AUO11ED looks to be an older, but decent, TN type screen used in sager/clevo.

 

This is the message I got from lcdtech889 on ebay:

We discussed this issue with AUO technician before. They told us this is the original B156HAN01.1 screen, but when computer read it, it will show B156HW01 V1 on it because this was the 2st HAN screen they made. They wrote wrong part number on it. The B156HAN01.1 is a slim type LED screen. The original B156HAN01.1 is thick screen like the picture we attached.
We have complained many time to AUO. They are not able to fix it because they don't make B156HAN01.1 screen anymore. The newer version is B156HAN01.2 ....
We know this is the original B156HAN01.1 screen, but it cannot show correct information on your computer. If you still cannot take it, we can issue the RMA to you for refund.

Thank you.

If you feel the quality is what it supposed to be it might be true. If you are concerned regarding trust issues, you can ping AUO yourself on this. It's kind of peculiar. Makes you wonder what batch lcdtech889 is selling from. I am willing to wait for LAPTOP SCREEN from $34.99, replacement LCD screens. Repair Tablet, Acer, Apple, iPhone, iPad, Samsung, Dell, HP Compaq, Toshiba, IBM Lenovo, Sony, Asus, Gateway. to have them in supply. I trust them, their warranty service is great, and they are active on this thread.

 

Found a place that sells the B156HAN01.2 locally. Going to probably pick one up tomorrow.

 

Another confirmation for AUO B156HAN0.12.

 

So here it is. Like i said i ordered this: Wholesale Product Snapshot Product name is B156HAN01.1 Thin slim Laptop Screen IPS
First i was a little bit afraid of Aliexpress, but it took only 3 days from Hong Kong to Germany. (DHL)

I can tell you, the Display is awesome and on a whole different level that the garbage that lenovo puts in.
It is indeed the exact model B156HAN01.1 and it is GLOSSY! It was very hard to find. Today i did the swap and here are my results:

Top is the old display, bottom is the new glossy B156HAN01.1

 

wait a sec here, I thought the newer version is B156HAN01.1 and 1.2 is the discontinued model. 1.2 even uses an older eDP 1.1a while the HAN01.1 uses eDP 1.3

B156HAN01.1 Datasheet download - Panelook.com

B156HAN01.2 Datasheet download - Panelook.com

either they messed up and sent you a HAN01.2 or they just got their info mixed up

 

Glad you got thru, is it one year warranty they're offering on their panel?

 

I had my y50 with damaged screen and since i was planing to change it I ordered the b156han01.2 mate Finally i got it from ebay after suffering with the damaged screen,
unfortunately i got the new one somehow damaged as i thought, at the beginning it was ok . Later weird lines started to appear but then they disappeared.

Now the screen work magically awesome the colorers are beautiful
Finally i can enjoy the power of my little beast .
Thank you guys for the time you spent creating this post and updating it.

 

B156HAN01.2 is available on laptopscreen.com

Should I get B156HAN01.2 or wait for B156HAN01.1 when it's available?

B156HAN01.2 Replacement Laptop LCD Screen From $79.99 Brand-new screens.

 

Can anyone else with a B156HAN01.1 tell me what they get for hardware id?

Download HWiNFO64 for free. It will pull the info for you.

 

Double check before you order, just spoke with a rep there today and was told none (AUO) in stock. They only have the LG's

 

I ordered an LP156WF4(SP)(D1) from East Coast LCDs on Amazon but I'm a bit confused as to which screen I actually received from them. The invoice the panel came with correctly lists LP156WF4(SP)(D1), but Device Manager lists AUO30ED for the device ID (AIDA64 does too), AIDA64 lists B156HTN03.0 as the model, and HWiNFO64 lists B156HW03. I neglected to check what the sticker on the back of the panel lists.

Can anyone provide any insight as to what screen I actually received, or how I could go about getting these model numbers to match so I can be sure which screen I have? I've already uninstalled and reinstalled my Intel and Nvidia graphics drivers.

All the panel's pixels are pretty easily visible, too--especially with white backgrounds.

 

Looks like you got an AUO panel. They all are the same panel. Just model number and hardware number etc.

 

I installed the B156HAN01.2 today.

Before



After



Much better!

 

i have this same problem, the screen has burn up time,I've tried connecting and disconnecting the cable as gently ad possible, and never over tightened the screws but this is all i get.
And gets worse and worse!!

It's a BHAN01.2, does anyone know if it could be a driver problem? i launched Hwinfo and it still detects it ad a Chi Mei.

 

Recieved my B156HAN01.2 today. Took me 5 minutes to replace, it works and looks great.

Thanks guys, for this thread, the guides, and the help.

 

And now it's working!!!

As Shillywagon said, it seems to have a burn-in time, here's the updated pictures:

 

It's AUO11ED

 

Is this the matte from lcdtech? Looks really nice, can't wait to receive mines
