- First name the problem and the goal.
- Then outline a simple step-by-step plan.
- Each step needs an owner and a deadline.

Cracked panel, liquid bleed spots, color lines, no backlight — all of these mean screen replacement, not a new laptop.
Screen types and price difference
TN (basic) from PLN 180 · IPS FHD from PLN 250 · IPS 2K from PLN 380 · OLED from PLN 500. These include labor. Exact price confirmed after model verification.
When is screen replacement worth it?
Practical rule: if the laptop has a working motherboard, decent SSD and sufficient RAM — screen replacement is one of the most cost-effective repairs. PLN 250–400 vs. PLN 2500–4000 for a new device is an easy calculation.
Screen upgrade — from TN to IPS
In many popular models (Lenovo IdeaPad, HP ProBook, Dell Inspiron) the factory TN screen can be replaced with an IPS panel of the same size — same eDP connector, no modifications. Better colors, wider viewing angles.
- ✅ Price quoted from screen model number — no guesswork.
- ✅ Repair time: 1–2h (in stock) or 1–3 days (order).
- ✅ TN → IPS upgrade in compatible models.
- ✅ 12-month warranty on replaced panel.
