Comparing a InnoLux N140HCE-EAA upgrade on T440p vs AUO B140HAN01.3 on modded T430s

Pictures speak for themselves, check out my google photos gallery.
So I was searching for an FHD IPS panel for the bottom barrel T440p I recently purchased after seeing that it can be screen swapped to IPS without a hassle.
I couldn't find a reasonable to me price for the AUO, but upon searching I found a 'compatible' screen on eBay.
The price for it used was very low but had a bright spot issue, I had gotten a great deal on the AUO panel because it was used.
Upon further looking I noticed the seller laptopscreens had their own website so I searched for the AUO panel on there.
They had a lot of new/compatible screens, not really saying what screen model they were or what brand, I ended up pulling the trigger onthis unit.
3 year warranty and a screen that costs less than $70 new? Who wouldn't pass that up!
Panellook's overview: InnoLux panel &AUO panel.
Being a noob I was concerned about the viewing angle, quite surprised at them, but upon checking a picture test, I noticed the T430s was more colorful than the T440p.
These are not calibrated, & I think installing Windows on the T440p when it had the HD panel might have some part of it, as I'm stuck with a generic LCD driver so far.
But the 16.2M colors versus InnoLux's 242K might be another thing, the AUO panel nearly scores twice as better than the InnoLux when it comes to the CIE 1931 color boundary percentage.
Quite happy this was a drop in, though I did have to restart the T440p because I did get a flat black screen when it tried booting to Windows, BIOS detected it fine.
I might buy some more panels from them, but unless I could find a tested and matching part screen, then perhaps I would not.
I saved about $20 buying generic and got a new screen rather than used.
Thinking about getting a x-rite i1display pro colorimeter to calibrate these things.
Packaging was okay, decently thick box but the panels were only in a padded parcel, yet probably for the best in case of being overwrapped and cracking the display easily due to pressure.
Not as nice as the original FlexViews, but not as expensive either.
Also this machine isn't that bad but not as solid as the 4:3 14" T60p I had in the past, I don't think there will ever be one built that well ever again.
The swap was probably the easiest ever no bezel screws and only 4 screws needed to me removed for the LCD, very thin screens however.
Kinda lame Lenovo calls this a 'p' model yet packs it with integrated graphics... at least Intel has come a long way.
