Dead Pixels
If the screen has dead pixels, it will seriously affect the user’s experience of watching the screen, but most sellers’ Dead Pixels policy is 1-5 dead pixels, and according to the LCD screen industry standard, more than 1 dead pixels are unqualified products.
The price of LCD screens with dead pixels is 40% lower than the screen without dead pixels.
Our Dead Pixels Policy: No Dead Pixels
Other sellers Dead Pixels Policy: 1-5 Dead Pixels (as per ISO 13406-2 norm)
Brightness
Brightness can only be measured using professional equipment, and you can find it in the laptop specifications section of the laptop manual, and you can send your laptop serial number, service tag to service@myfixguide.com to request help.
Brightness is an important indicator to measure the luminous intensity of the screen, and for LCD panels, high brightness also means higher anti-interference ability in its working environment.
Nit is the unit of brightness, 1 nit = 1 cd/m².
Higher brightness screens also cost more, e.g., the retail price of a 14-inch, 400 nits screen is $20-$30 more than a 14-inch, 250 nits screen.
Unfortunately, most sellers do not indicate the screen brightness, while we do clearly indicate the screen brightness.
Color gamut
Brightness can only be measured using professional equipment, and you can find it in the laptop specifications section of the laptop manual, and you can send your laptop serial number, service tag to service@myfixguide.com to request help.
Color gamut refers to the range of colors that can be displayed by a screen panel, and there are four standards for measuring color gamut: sRGB, NTSC, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB. Theoretically, the higher the color gamut, the richer colors that can be displayed on the screen.
Currently, most sellers don’t indicate the color gamut value, while we do clearly indicate the color gamut value.
Usually, panels with high color gamut are more expensive.
For example, the retail price of a 14″ screen with 72% NTSC color gamut is about $30-$40 more than a 14″ screen with 45% NTSC color gamut.
