How to Select the Correct LCD Screen for Your Laptop

When replacing a laptop screen, you can search for a replacement in two ways: by laptop model or by LCD screen part number. Both methods work, but only the LCD part number guarantees an exact match. If you search by laptop model, you’ll need to confirm details such as resolution, touch capability, and refresh rate before ordering.

 

1. Search by LCD Screen Model (Best Method)

The most reliable way is to remove your old screen and check the LCD part number printed on the back.

• It’s usually on a white or silver sticker.

• Examples: BOE NV156FHM-N3X, AUO B156HAN02.1.

👉 Using this number ensures your replacement will be identical in size, resolution, connector type, and compatibility.

2. Search by Laptop Model (Alternative Method)

You can also search by laptop model (e.g., Dell Inspiron 15 3510), but be careful, as a single laptop model may ship with multiple screen variations:

• Touch screens vs non-touch (not compatible options).

• Refresh rates 60Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz, or higher.

• Resolution: HD vs FHD vs UHD, etc.

That’s why searching by laptop model can be a useful starting point, but it does not guarantee a perfect match.

3. Key Things to Confirm if Searching by Laptop Model

If you’re using the laptop model number to order, always confirm these specs against your old screen:

• Resolution – HD (1366×768), FHD (1920×1080), or UHD (3840×2160).

• Touch vs. Non-Touch – many models come in both versions.

• Refresh Rate – standard 60Hz, or higher refresh rates for gaming laptops.

• Connector Type – most modern screens use 30-pin eDP, older ones may use 40-pin LVDS.
