We recently received an interesting comment on our YouTube channel.
A viewer was unhappy with the poor display quality of their laptop’s original LCD and wondered whether a replacement would be any better.
The viewer asked:
Hello,
I am looking to upgrade the display panel on my MSI Katana 17 B12VGK-274RU. The currently installed factory display is a BOE NV173FHM-NX4. Is it possible to swap my current BOE panel for an LG Display panel without any compatibility or cable issues? Which specific display models would you recommend that feature both a full color gamut and exceptional pixel response times for fast-paced gaming?
As it turns out, in this particular case, it would!
Our response:Any of the compatible panels we supply at this listing https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/MSI/KATANA~17~B12VGK-274RU/ will be a substantial improvement over your current LCD. All our current replacements offer 100% sRGB color coverage and significantly better published pixel response specifications than your original panel. For gaming, we also offer 165Hz and 180Hz upgrades, with available panels rated as fast as 3 ms G2G with overdrive. You can view these under "Options" on the above listing. Please note that actual ghosting performance can vary with overdrive settings.
The original laptop came equipped with a rather disappointing LCD panel, and the compatible replacements we currently offer for this model are genuinely better than what came installed from the factory.
And this isn’t as unusual as you might think.
Laptop manufacturers sometimes use inexpensive LCD panels to keep costs down. Offering a mediocre screen in a basic model also gives customers a reason to spend more on a higher-tier laptop with a nicer display. Better profit margins, anyone?
And sometimes manufacturers simply have older display technology or existing component inventories to use up. Why let perfectly functional, if somewhat outdated, screens go to waste?
Whatever the reason, the screen your laptop came with isn’t necessarily the best screen it can use today. We’ve talked about this before in our article Compatible LCD Replacement? It’s Better Than You Thought!
Of course, not every laptop screen can be upgraded, and not every replacement is automatically better. Compatibility matters, and that’s where we come in.
We’ve added an “Options” button to many of our listings where compatible upgrades are available. Depending on the laptop, these upgrades can offer higher refresh rates, better color reproduction, and faster pixel response times.
You can read more about this feature in our article Laptop LCD Upgrades Are Now Live!
At LaptopScreen.com, we specialize in finding working replacement LCDs for your laptop. We stand behind our compatibility recommendations: a working replacement or your money back!
Have a question about your laptop’s screen? Wondering whether a replacement could also be an upgrade?
Sometimes a broken laptop screen is an opportunity for a better view!
