Good quality replacement screen for 15.6" E540 HD?

As much as I like everything else about my new E540, the screen door effect on the screen is a constant annoyance for me. So I guess my question is if anybody knows if there are any screens available for this model that are of better quality and don't have this screen door effect? And if so, what model numbers and manufacturers and such should I be looking for when getting a better screen?

Yes it is a WXGA (1366 x 768) 15.6 display per the specs here:

The HP Part number is 
496770-001
This is probably the most common laptop screen in the supply channel right now and here is one on eBay for $95. Don't worry it says Gateway because the HP Part number is listed as compatible. The thing I always do is pull the screen before ordering the replacement and then you can search by the screen maker's part number, too. I would expect you can find this a bit cheaper, like as low as $65-70 in today's market.

HP is out of stock through Partsurfer. 
The one thing that is confusing me is whether it is an LCD or LED connection. I googled the part number and see both types of screen depicted under that part number and the HP description does not help much. The older LCD type screens are more expensive. The issue is whether the connector is at the bottom left of the back of the screen or top right.
So it is very important that you remove the old screen first. If you want to post a picture here I can help you further
This video shows how I do the replacement. This depicts an LCD type screen but the removal is essentially the same:

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications. 
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad

    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    Personally I would let well enough alone if that is the only flaw. Also it is best to replace the display panel with an exact duplicate. Usually the motherboard is different if you have the higher res screen and they are not compatible. In other words, your motherboard/video card is different than a laptop with the high res screen, probably. The cable will fit...LED is LED, but the screen will look funky if they are not compatible. So really this is not probably your opportunity to upgrade the screen. Here is your exact replacement on amazon.com at $66 which is a very good deal:
    http://www.amazon.com/HP-641629-001-Laptop-Screen-1600x900/dp/B005NBNTJU
    Apparently they will not say whether you get glossy or matte, but at that price who cares?.
    Here is the description of the panel with the full HD resolution:
    17.3-in, AntiGlare, FHD, LED, display panel for use only with computer models equipped
    with an Intel processor
    656297-001
    http://www.screentekinc.com/HP-656297-001.shtml
    They do not give the price, you have to call. It might work but can't guarantee. Partsurfer is not giving a price for either part but based on past experience, somewhere over $200 is a good guess.

  • Any external monitors as good as imac screen for text?

    hi all.
    this is my first mac.  it's a new 21.5inch imac with a 2.7ghz i5 proc running OS X 10.7.3 and 12 Gigs of RAM (8 Gigs from crucial for $50, who can resist?) 
    i've got it hooked up to an external samsung syncmaster B2330 running in 1920x1080, which is this monitor's native resolution.  works fine.  it's hooked up via the dvi port on the screen via the mini-displayport to dvi adapter for the mac.  i switch this monitor to the vga port when i want to use it as my pc monitor also running at 1920x1080.  there is a source button on the monitor.  very convenient. 
    the issue is that they text on this screen when coming from the mac is not as clear was when coming from the pc despite the fact that the vga port provides much less bandwidth than the dvi port the mac uses.  i've read that the mac and the pc display text on screen using different methods.  my pc uses an nvidia display graphics card.  i believe mac use ati based hardware. 
    there appears to be much more interpolation when displaying text from the mac.  perhaps this is a text size issue i'm not sure.  either way i read a lot on this monitor and need it to be as good as possible for that purpose. 
    so the question is, does anyone have experience with an external monitor that is as good as the imac screen for text display.  i can't use the thuderbolt display or a cinema display since they don't switch to different ports allowing my to use a single external monitor for two machines.  i'm willing to spend up if there is a reason to do so.  i'm on these computers a lot.  i work from home with some regularity and my job is all about reading.
    any help is appreciated.
    best, c

    I have an dell 24" lcd as 2ed monitor and text look as clear as the imacs screen

  • How can I order a replacement screen for my 2009 MacBook?

    Also, will it be easy to change over? I haved owned this laptop for a little over four years, and the screen whites out unless held at a certain angle. The hardware operates smoothly so I only need to replace the screen. No Genius could fix it. Thanks!

    Same here, the screen washed out, totally white, but the system's running fine.  One gentle tap on the screen, everything's normal again. But things got worse and did not respond to the gentle tap any more, it required twisting the screen a bit and things flickered to normal.  At this point sent it to Apple Service, they quoted Rs 26,000
    (1 US$ = 60 Rupees) for replacing the screen.  The system is already 4 years old, track pad click does not work, disk drive is not without problems and to make things worse the battery requires a replacement and the system is out of all kinds of warranties.
    This made me reluctant to consider salvaging the screen, having researched on the situation, I came out twith the following options :
    Replace the LCD screen at the cost quoted and hope nothing else packs up for the next 2 years at least.
    Connect to external monitor, keyboard and mouse and use it as a desktop with the clam shell closed.
    Download this app 'Air Display' for iOS and OS X, mirror the screen wirelessly to an iPad placed in front of the regular screen (with brightness down to zero) and use it like a normal display but smaller than 13 inch. (there are many more advantages of this app too, for example, it works as a touch screen for OSX...ever heard of it ?)
    last but not the least, do nothing about this, and things seem to work fine all of a sudden since the last 10 hours, i'm currently typing this text the regular way I did since Aug 2009 !!
    But realised one more thing, that the system is getting hotter in the charging end, more than ever before, does it contribute to the worsening of screen / white out / frozen screen but not a brain dead computer)
    Will let you know if things hold on this way for long.

    Anyone got any ideas how to get this-  have had a global run around this morning!
    Jeff

    Hi buddy,
    Normally the LCD is always the same part but if you want to make sure you get the correct LCD you should ask an authorized service provider in your country. The guys have access to Toshiba database and can search for exact part number and can order this screen for you.
    You can find a list of ASPs here:

  • Replacement screen for iMac pre-calibrated?

    I just received a new late 2013 iMac. There is a scratch on the screen and the reseller is saying they will replace the screen (a new machine will take ages they tell me).
    If I get the screen replaced, will the replacement screen come pre-calibrated? I have read that Apple calibrate them at the factory - is this done for the screen component itself or done when the whole computer is assembled?
    I don't want to replace the screen if it's not going to be as well calibrated.
    Thanks!

  • Replacement screen for HP Beats Special Edition

    We have an HP Beats special edition - Model 15  p-030nr with a cracked touchscreen. I'd like to find a replacement screen to do the repair.  Haven't had any luck finding a part number or anything.  Thanks!

    Hello @JohnG0814,
    I understand that you are trying to use the standard keyboard on your HP Beats Special Edition 23-n010 All-in-One Desktop PC. NowI have gone through the User Guide for your computer and found nothing on disabling the HP Keyboard that you have by default.
    I did however find something that may do the trick. In your BIOS which you can get to by restarting and tapping the F10 key you will see under 'Security' a sub-section named 'Secure Boot Configuration' that has a setting for Secure boot > Key Management > Key Ownership. If you go there you can change it to 'Custom keys', which I believe will resolve your keyboard issue. I am posting an image to help below.
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
