Hi Folks,
My S3's display stopped working after in contact with water. So I had gone for the display replacement.
I have asked the service center guy to install the Original Samsung display. He has installed a display and said its Original.
Could not find any flaw in the clarity and touch response, they are as good as original. But I noticed the display size is bit smaller than the stock S3 display (it was a bit less than the 4.8 inches).
And if you noticed the display while it is ON, we could see a small black border line on the four sides of the screen. That black border line is a bit thicker in this new display which makes the display a few pixels smaller than the stock. I tested the phone hardware info through two apps and the displayed results said that the Screen Density is 320 dpi. (S3 has 306 ppi, not sure if ppi and dpi are same)
I am so much confused whether this new one is original Samsung display or a replica. Is there any way to find the manufacturer of the display through an app?. My phone is rooted and running CM11 M12 ROM.
Please help me in finding the display genuineness.
Looks like a chinese replica €65 aprox. Authentic goes around €120
ETradeSupply sells both kinds of screens and puts “OEM” in the name of the better ones while the knock-offs are a bit cheaper and say something like “replacement”. The “OEM” cost me $142 and is just as tough as the original; a $115 knock-off I had bought at eBay didn't survive a knee-high fall.

Not that I know of. Most likely they sell directly to Samsung, and the screen I got is slightly uneven in brightness (only visible with a fully black screen), so it may be a rejected part.
For those of you who've replaced your screens either DIY or via LG warranty replacement...please post how your screen quality and viewing angles compare to the original LCD.
I'll start...
1. On my Current G2, I had a perfect screen. Perfect viewing angles and excellent image quality with no defects
2. Ebay Replacement screen #1 had dead pixels and Mira lines.
3. Ebay replacement screen # 2 had horrible color. Almost black and white
4. Amazon replacement screen has great color & image quality but lesser degree of viewing angles.
It's hard to explain but easy to compare to other G2s and phones when you compare side by side.
After all these screen swaps in the last couple months I've decided to keep this screen and use the phone as is.
How does your replacement screen compare to the original one?
I got LG performed a "total refurbished" when I dropped and shattered my screen.
It came back and looked like new, no difference to the original.
After a shattered screen i got it replaced.two months waoting time.now have jdi panel but brightness is very low and have lots of screen bleed around the edges.the repairman did not do a good job but the panel itself is of lower quality.color and contrast ok but luminosity is about 70%of the original...not happy but no money for yet another panel...
Conclusion:dont drop the phone...
After having touch screen issues on my phone (no-touch zone, ghost touches), I bought a replacement screen for my D800 off eBay.
Got it replaced and so far, the quality (colours, brightness, touch accuracy) is very good. I'd say the screen is slightly more yellow than my original screen but it's by no means an issue.
The screen I got for my "new" Z3, is full of problems. It has press marks(areas on the screen which appear brighter/whiter) and the screen "flickers" on high brightness. My friend can't see it well, but I can very clearly see the screen going bright->dark->bright->dark slightly and very quickly.
Dropped mine and got it replaced at a cheap place in Bangkok.
Colours are the same, viewing angles are not as good, but
those doesn't matter to me.
Been 2 months dropped phone again, screen shattert again...
Biggest supprise: Touch is still working perfectly! Seems like the cheap replacement screen doesn't have the NoGap technology like the original ones haha. Seems like win win to me!

Thanks for the responses guys and sorry to hear about your screens.
Made a new poll. Please participate.
I'm trying to make a case that there are different versions of LCD panels made by different manufacturers.
They don't advertise which is which but we're starting to notice now that we're having out screens replaced.
I replaced my LG D800 screen with one from Amazon and the colors are slightly darker but other than that no big deal. I didn't do a good job with the replacement so there is definite light bleed on the edges and after four months of using it im getting ghost touches if I press on the lower portion of the screen. Don't think it's quite worth the $80 replacement to try again and get it right, just something I'll deal with until a new phone comes out and I can get it replaced all together.
Similar experience to laboratik except the repair was done at LG so the workmanship is good. But it is jdi panel and darker than the original.
Thank you guys for the responses. This thread should be helpful to others in our same situation.
The sad fact is that the market is flooded with aftermarket screens made by who knows.
Just compared my screen with the S6 Edge and have to say I'm very impressed with the image and color on this replacement screen however that's where the buck stops.
The reduced viewing angles are tolerable at best. I'd hate to remove this replacement screen send it back all over again...roll, dice pray I get a perfect match but unless I'm removing it from a G2 myself I'm starting to believe it's not likely it'll happen.
Check out this review on Amazon re: the screen I have.
This guy nails my current situation

I got a few of them from eBay, I can link you the buyer if you want, I've sold them and they are close to OEM, they only have one MAJOR flaw, they are thicker. While you'd think this wouldn't be an issue, they are thick enough to not be able to slip into most cases, so it's annoying.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/wholesaleblimited?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754
That's the ebay seller I use for replacement parts.
So far the screens have been OEM quality( G2, GPro, AHD) I've bought a few from there, and they all have great quality, except for the thickness, they all seem to be thicker, this is probably due to it not being real gorilla glass, and just a knock off lol.
it looks like my replacement screen for LG service center has slightly lower sunlight legibility than original,
I dont know which panel is this, but brightness is reduced

After removing the Amazon screen and reinstalling the original one, I notice the Amazon one has slightly higher ppi/contrast with a smoother looking picture....WTH
Now if I can have that with the original screen's viewing angles I'd be golden....
Oh well....time to pack it back and return it back...will report back shortly

That one almost certainly looks like it will be a low quality replacement you will be unhappy with.
My personal opinion, if you want a full frame screen replacement....at least get one with the LG logo.
Saw one on ebay for 59.00 last night. The seller claimed to test them before they ship.

Not sure which model you have but make sure you confirm with the seller before you bid
i have ordered my replacement screen with frame from etradesupply.com should be reaching me in 5 days time.. Will report back. Got it for $60.

My shipment status says expected delivery Wed, Apr 15. Hope there are no more delays. Will keep the thread posted on how the screen performs.
Hi,
I'm planning to replace LCD+Digitiser+frame combo of my scratched G3 lol
I'm searching a non official part (too expensive for me) but with good quality (no screen yellow spot , or finger pressure issue...) I know that evething else but LG original part will be indeed inferior ....
Someone could give me advises?
Thanks
I've replaced 2 lg g3 screens and digitizer all in ones, and it's super easy to do, but always bought original LG parts.
So only thing I can contibute is that as far as the skill level needed to do the job.....if I can easily do it, trust me...anyone can...takes 10 mins max.
Matt.
I own a phone repair company and I'm happy to put you in touch with our suppliers but I need to know a few things...
Price range you're looking at paying (roughly) and where do you live?
Thank you !!!!
I'm looking at 70 euro range .... I'm living in France
Thanks again
I've replaced mine with one that the seller claimed was OEM quality. That was a lie : the screen had an ugly yellow tone, so I got fully refunded for false advertising. I then bought one from a store on ebay who has orginial LG parts and that was perfect. They have a website : http://recoverymobile.es/repuestos-...-g3-con-marco-gold-dorada-original-nueva.html
Ok thanks
65 euro only the grey one !!!
http://recoverymobile.es/repuestos-lg/117-pantalla-completa-lg-g3-con-marco-original-nueva-gris.html

Hi. I am Thinking to replace my LG G3 LS990 digitizer only. Could you please help me how to do it? First of all, is replacing the digitizer glass only possible without replacing whole Lcd??
Hello, there.
Unfortunately, I've dropped my mi mix 3 and I was looking to a new screen.
Looking around I've found many offers with a wide range of prices.
The question is that the Mi Mix 3 feature a Samsung Amoled 6.39 inch but it is impossible to find, everywhere I'm finding an LCD replacement. Can someone help me out?
Plus, I was a bit worried about the screen replacement procedure but then I saw this video which takes a totally different approach and made the whole thing much easier...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl2aK5wCBAI
Still, I can't find the Amoled version anywhere but only the LCD version...
Cheers

Goodluck https://www.witrigs.com/oem-screen-replacement-with-frame-for-xiaomi-mi-mix-3-black
Hi, i searched on aliexpress, there are lots of options but it is $100+, so in my case I ordered 6.39 lcd display, and it looks better than other analogs, costs 45 usd but it has a special plastic spacer under the display, so it sticks up a bit more, looks fine... On aliexpressI think itis 3 options lcd, led and amoled... No clue what is the one in middle. I bought mine from chila lcd seller
Upd: I think 100+ is for original there, not 'oem', but not sure
I try to order one (100+$) but the quality was awefull. some part of the screen was unreponsive.
I bought one from second hand market. Under warranty and never opened for -300$
I had the same problem, dropped my phone and screen replaced with original. Contact with this adress maybe you can order original one. Genpa is authorized service in Türkiye for Xiaomi.

I bought the witrigs one. It certainly seems genuine to me. I'm happy.
I had a honor 8 before, I'd say I bought 6-8 screens for it and never found a good one

Where do you find LCD? I can't even Find it. (I hate amoled with their burn in issues. I love lcd)
Any existing Mix 3 users that had to replace the screen in the past?
Which one did you buy and that you are satisfied with it?
Honestly I don't know which one to look at (primarily I am looking on ebay). There are some that the title say it's amoled, but I am not sure.
Any advice?
I bought the original amoled screen in aliexpress for 80€.
Happy with it!
