AUO B156HW01 V4 A+ grade replacement for NP8150-S1

I'm looking to replace my glossy lcd with the AUO B156HW01 V4. Is there any place I can get an A+ grade replacement? I've looked on ebay and there's two sellers that seem a little fishy... Also, screeninteipei has some but they're not listed as A+ only A. What would be my best choice here?

 

I bought mine from screenintaipei to replace a replacement screen from Sager. Now I have 3 x AUO B156HW01 V4 screens. Anyway, it's about as good as it can get, especially since their warranty terms and conditions far exceeds the 2-3 weeks dead pixel insurance from Sager. Shipping is a bane though.

 

You have 3? Are the extras backup or are you using them all.

On a side note, I have read that the AUO B156HW01 V4's are no longer being manufactured... Does anybody know if there will be or is a replacement screen for the NP8150/P150HM that is matte with the 95% gamut color?

 

They've been discontinued for a little while now, the only stock left is that which has been stockpiled.

That said, there are quite a number stockpiled, so there's plenty of time to find a replacement (if another 95% is even looked for as a replacement).

 

The other 2 just sit in boxes lying on top of my cupboard. The original which came with my laptop had the red ghosting issue, while the replacement which Sager sent had quite severe backlight bleed, or mura, which appears as a hazy cloud in the middle 30% of the screen and highly visible from off-set viewing, especially on black backgrounds.

Since it was pretty much of a hit-and-miss trying to get a non-ghosting screen from Sager back then, I swallowed the cost and got one from screenintaipei instead.

 

Thanks for the info Malibal!

 

I went ahead and ordered one from screenintaipei on ebay. Hopefully all goes well.

 

Just wanted to let everyone know, that I received my screen today and it's in my laptop. Let's just say that I am floored with the quality! I am so glad I upgraded to the matte finish instead of replacing with the stock glossy. Now I'm just waiting on my Koss PortaPro headphones I've ordered to replace my current earbuds, and I'll be in Skyrim heaven.

 

I'm so glad it worked out for you the same way it did for me Enjoy your new screen!

 

screenintaipei is a reliable source. Ordered AUO B173HW01 V.5, everything went well and display arrived in time) Though the delivery price is pretty steep, the box it came in was like armored (kidding), there's no way the screen can be damaged during delivery!

 

If these screens have been discontinued, what is being made as a replacement now? Just wondering in case I need one in the future.

 

Let's see what screen options the Sager ivy bridge models have.

 

Hmm IPS is that new hotness, but I doubt stubborn old Clevo would be the first of the gaming notebook manufacturers to make the step up to ultra-premium screen technology.

I haven't heard of any new high gamut TN panels being produced, so expect to see the standard Hannstar, unless Clevo has secretly commissioned proprietary RGB or B+RG options.

 

Others (HP) use IPS so I can't see why it wouldn't at least be an option. Surely that's the point of designing a barebones customisable laptop. You can decide what components to spend your cash on.
