What’s a generic screen?

What’s a generic screen?

a part that fits but isn't endorsed or supplied by the manufacturer .now you just trolling

It my sister's laptop and I wouldn't put it past her to have done that. She's been transporting it to work and I can just see her carelessly putting down her laptop bag and shaking about the laptop. I'll look into the connector again.

If the pictures you posted is indeed the laptop in question, it looks absolutely like crap. Not one fsck given. Not even my children's laptops look like that.

I’ve never heard of a generic screen. There are a handful of LCD manufacturers, using different panels such as TN/IPS/VA, different back-lighting, different specs such as anti-glare/glossy/high and low nits/Hz, etc.

Furthermore, the same laptops from laptop brands, will include screens from different LCD manufacturers.

Of course, going from a high-nits high-Hz IPS LCD to a low-nits low-Hz TN LCD, will be a big step back.

But that does not make the latter screen a generic.

Nor is there anything such as ‘endorsement’.

You’re sorely mistaken and trolling out of sheer ignorance without knowing it.

Windows laptop screens are very standardised. Basically only a handful of versions. 30-pin, 40-pin, slim or not, and then connector positions. Remove the bezel of your Dell, unscrew and disconnect the LCD, Google the part number or look at the amount of pins and position of the connector. Yours being an older Dell will be 14” non-slim, for starters. Then check Marketplace, BoB, etc. for a replacement. You can probably even find a FHD LCD if your current is HD

shame you had to google it

It was bought used, I don't know how many owners it's had.

So like a third hand car, you don't know who drove the crap out of it previously.

There's plenty of value to be found in used goods, but some luck is needed.
