Anyone replace their AUO matte screen ?

[chokko]

Hello,
I have the AUO matte screen, and it looks awful . The biggest problem is the obvious vertical lines at normal sitting distance.

The replacement screens on screencountry.com are LG apparently, though googling the compatibility part number, the LG seems to not be particularly popular either.

So my question is: Has anyone upgraded their AUO to something they are happy with ?

Loved my g73 screen (yes that was glossy), and i am not under any illusion that i can find something as gorgeous as the ux31a IPS screen (glossy but low reflection?). But the AUO matte looks like it belongs on a $200 netbook you'd buy your grandmother to check email once a month.

be very careful, when I took my G75VW to the ASUS Service center to replace that crappy matte screen which looked so pale and dull in colors, they replaced it, then they ended up burning the motherboard when they tried to turn it on. so they gave me this G750JX for free

why were Asus going to replace the matte screen on the G75 in the first place?
was it broken ?
because you didn't like the pale/dull screen (and you were paying them to do it) ?

I called them and I said I wasn't pleased with the screen if they can do me a favor and swap it with the 3D one because it is very hard to read and when viewing a white background it appears like there are small specs of rainbow dots everywhere. So they asked me if my laptop was under warranty, I said yes I am still in the 1 year warranty period, then they said ok they will replace it for free with the 3D one 🙂 since they fried my motherboard and had no more replacement motherboards, they gave me a brand new G750JX because the G75VW was out of stock already

Unless you have a 3D model, which uses different connectors, a standard LCD panel (e.g. one from a Clevo laptop) would fit the Asus with no issues. It's no different than changing the LCD on any other laptop. It probably voids the warranty though, so keep that in mind.

Vertical lines? That sounds like a defective display or display adapter, not poor image quality. We've replaced the stock screen with AUO glossy finish, 90% NTSC and they look fantastic. 🙂

I replaced the Chi Mei matte screen on my G75VW with a glossy screen from screen country. It is a big improvement, but not quite as much as I was hoping for. You mentioned LG screens at screen country, but my replacement was an AUO. Not sure if they actually sell LG screens specifically, or just "LG compatible" ones. Do you have any definitive information on that?

[chokko]

well I told them the exact model AUO I have, told them I don't want an AUO replacement (in case I ordered another matte) and they said the glossy and matte with compatibility code LP173WF1(TL)(A2), are LG brand screens.

sounds like I should just order glossy to be safe...if your AUO glossy is ok

Ah, okay. I didn't actually speak to them (probably should have), just ordered online. Yeah, my glossy AUO is pretty good. I'd definitely go with the glossy LG, unless reflections will be a major issue. The colors just seem to "pop" much more than on the matte screens. They look dull/washed out on the matte screens.

Hello, I too have a G750JH with matte AUO screen, and the vertical lines issue is well known.

Does someone here know how to change the screen (I've already bought a LG LP173WF1) : how can I open the bezel safely, after having removed the 4 screws at the corners ? It looks a bit difficult without scratching or breaking the plastic !!!

Anyone ? Any help or experience would be much appreciated.
