OEM-grade vs aftermarket screens: what you are really buying
Two quotes for the same repair can differ by a hundred dollars. The difference is almost always the panel — and you will notice it every single day.
A screen is not one component. It is a glass laminate, a digitiser, a display panel, a backlight or emissive layer, and a driver board — and cheap replacements compromise on all five.
Where cheap panels fail
Colour accuracy drifts, peak brightness drops by a third outdoors, touch sampling lags in fast games, and the oleophobic coating wears through within months. Worst of all, incompatible driver boards can draw more power and shorten battery life.
On AMOLED devices, a glass-only refurbishment is the biggest red flag. It looks identical on the counter and delaminates within weeks.
