So you open your laptop to discover a troll sneaked into your place last night and decided to play soccer with your LCD screen. Bummer. Luckily, replacing LCDs is not so difficult of a task, that most beginners handle it on their own. The trick...is making sure you purchase a correct and compatible screen for your laptop. Knowing the different screen types will not only help you define your replacement screen, it will also increase your options for upgrading your screen [you may as well, a troll DID break it]. Oh, and if you're thirsty for more screen knowledge, check out these other links: "Understanding the Different LCD Screen Backlight Types", "Finding Screen Part Numbers and Specifications", and every ones favorite "Does My Laptop LCD Screen Need To be Replaced?". *Spoiler Alert* If its cracked...Yes!. The quick answer. Because. The real answer. First and foremost, making screens can be part of a very lucrative business model thus, lots of companies are doing it like Samsung, LG Philips, AU Optronics, and Chimei Innolux to name a few. There are also different resolutions [WXGA, FHD, HD+...], screen types [CCFL or LED, for more information check out "Understanding the Different LCD Screen Backlight Types"], finishes [Matte or Glossy], and of course physical sizes [14.1 inch, 15.4 inch, or 17.3 inch]. All this means is there are a bunch of different part numbers [a.k.a Dp/N] and variations that make purchasing seem more daunting than it really should be. Take a deep breath and lets focus on the important factors; size, resolution, and screen type.
