new screen seller?

#1 Post by Weogo » Sat Mar 31, 2012 1:50 pm

Hi Y'all,

I've seen a post or two here about someone that sells laptop screens, but haven't been able to re-find the post or contact info.

A link, please?

Thanks and good health, Weogo

What type of screen are you looking for?

Hi George,

I'm looking for an X61S Ultrabright screen in new or excellent condition.
I bought an X61S with a damaged screen and did the SXGA+ upgrade.
One important program I use does not scale, and really needs XGA for me to be able to read it.
(Using the SXGA+ at non-native resolution doesn't read so well.)
So I'm going back to an Ultrabright screen.

Thanks and good health, Weogo

Huh...talk about paying more for the screen than what the machine might be worth...the only known "real deal" (at least to me) is here:

I recently bought a replacement screen for an R51 from laptopscreens.com. It was shipped quickly, well packaged and they only sell brand new screens. This one turned out to be a samsung and works great. Oh and very well priced I thought. I would buy from them again.
