    Anyone know where i can buy a replacement screen for my Sager NP8130? After having it for 3 months, it somehow cracked. I had it in my backpack and when i came home screen was cracked :( . Anyways, can someone direct me to a website to buy the cheapest screen possible that is still 1080p? Thanks.

    Hmm, those are kinda expensive. I found this one on this site
    B156HW01 V.4 replacement Laptop LCD Screen $69.99 Brand-new screens (never used).
    would that work too?

    Not sure. Perhaps a reseller could confirm for you.

    You do need to be very careful here. Many vendors offer 'compatable screens' for example for the B156HW01 V.4.

    What you need to ask for is the EXACT screen AU Optronics B156HW01 V.4, not just a compatible one.

    You would be surprized on how many sellers out there are selling this way. :eek:

    Oh I see, is there anyplace other than e-bay that may be a little bit cheaper that doesn't offer "compatible" screens?

    EDIT:
    I found this website, does this look legit?

    AUO B156HW01 V4 NEW 15.6" LCD LAPTOP SCREEN LED EXACT | eBay

    This one is legit. I bought mine from them. No dead pixels/red ghosting/issues which my replacement screen from Sager had. So now I have 3 screens in total.

    This is their actual Corporate website:
    LCD panel wholesaler - Wiitron International Electronics

    They do test their screens with a wide array of measurement devices and offer a solid exchange policy through their perfect screen panel guarantee, though you have to pay for 1 way return shipping back to them if *touchwood* anything goes wrong.

    However, you can do what I did, which is to request them to take close-up photos of the screen from a huge variety of angles to examine for any manufacturing defects before they send the screen over to you. This is something that I found not many screen sellers were willing to do when I was shopping around for the replacement of my replacement.

    The price is very reasonable for that screen, but the $45 shipping is kind of killing it for me right now :(

    I'm glad you didn't get it, the seller's ratings are so bad!
