Installation difficulty
Replacement is a 20–30 minute job — pry the bezel, unscrew four mounting screws, unplug the existing LVDS/eDP cable from the back, and plug the new panel in. We offer in-shop installation in Lahore for Rs. 1,500. If you are uncertain, WhatsApp 0314 4000131 and our technician will walk you through it.
Installation, testing and quality control
Every panel is bench-tested before listing: we power it on through a known-good test rig, sweep a full RGB pattern to catch dead pixels, run a uniformity gradient to detect backlight bleed, and inspect the connector pins under magnification. Only panels that pass all four tests get a Grade-A label.
