Yeah bro the first time I switched with a hard screen, I could easily see that it was cheap. After 1 month I found a refubish company that sold screens cheaper than aftermarket screens and from that day on I only held with the refurbish which can never let you down! :-)
Great video, and just in time as I have to change out my OLED on my XS. I am more interested if I’ll lose my Face ID in the process …. Not really a deal breaker just curious. And thanks again for the great video!
Finally, a useful, thoughtfully laid out tech support TH-cam video that isn't someone just reading the first result they found on google and then padding for time so they hit their 10-minute goal.
Very thankful for this, not all of us have money to buy each type to try it out. So this is great for those who buy part by part wanting the best quality
@@lifehackerhansol LCD is the best for ppl that use the phone a lot (not as a replacement for OLED equipped phones, but as an original LCD phone like the iPhone Xr). All those stupid OLEDs have burned in on me. Keyboard is burned in on my iPhone X. I can see it overlayed on all apps. Also WAZE is burned in. Stupid poop display. LCD is infinitely better. That at least does not break like the useless OLED display. Yes, OLED looks better to the eye, but it is NOT reliable. It degrades very fast.
@@Samosayummyyay oh no, that's not what I meant at all. I meant to get the display that matches the technology of the one that came with the phone. Say, if for some reason there is an OLED panel for your LCD phone, don't get that, get the LCD. In the case of an iPhone past the iPhone X, it would make more sense to buy an OLED panel since that's what it comes with. There's much less headache that way, especially if you want to use your old case. I got an LCD panel for my Galaxy S4 once, and I could no longer fit my OtterBox case on it anymore. I'm more careful of replacement parts after that.
A few more general differences: - A decent LCD should have good viewing angles - LCD has slower response times, so things like scrolling will look blurrier - OLED has true blacks, since the pixels just turn off, instead of trying to block the backlight light from coming through
Greetings from the Philippines brother! I’ve learned a lot of things from your channel. I was able to repair my Macbook Pro and iphone 6s plus while watching HJ. 👍
As so many screens are up in market , smart phone screen invention has really changed our world the way how we see .It’s always good to know the best screen that suits for your phone. Thanks for sharing !! Bravo 👍👏👏
Since an OEM display is an original display with a new glass, doesn't this mean it should have some OLED degradation or burn-in depending on its previous usage?
Yes, finding a pristine quality OLED refurbished one is not only uncommon, but expensive. Not as expensive as an actual brand new one, but still expensive.
I replaced the LCD on my iPhone 8, the first one I ordered was damaged, and they sent a free replacement. It was $32.99 on Amazon and I got good tools, and I got to keep the damaged screen, so the replacement front camera might be able to be reused. It comes with a screw mat, good tools, screen protector, and waterproof seal. Sadly, I broke the home button.
I did replace my iPhone XS Screen (With an amazing help from your videos), now I discovered I Installed the worst type of Screen :) .. Thank you so much Hugh for an amazing channel & amazing videos.
I'd really like a video showing touch performance of aftermarket. Because even refubished has an aftermarket touch digitiser. eg accuracy (perhaps drawing with a ruler and a conductive tipped pen), update speed using a slow motion camera, edge accuracy so it doesn't bleed over the bevels, distance to activation (as some can activate slightly before you actually touch), 3d touch consistancy and sensitivity (using something like the Roli 5d keyboard or Garageband). Thanks!
Keep in mind though refurbished OLEDs might also come cheaper if they come with certain burn ins. Finding one in A quality with no burn ins is indeed very expensive. Finding B grade ones can be a cost saving measure if small amounts of burn ins dont matter to you
This is the biggest issue I've found with refurbs. It has been very difficult getting an display with even and not discolored gray colors. 2/3 displays had big green tint. 1 of them was decent so I got it. Now I wonder if I should've pushed to see more panels or maybe gone for a good aftermarket one, since the one I got isn't good as the original one as well.
@@s2000. If you look at more reputable sellers (as opposed to be the cheapest thing you can find on ebay), they will usually tell you specifically for each panel what is wrong with it, or at least give you a letter to tell you what grade it is. If you get a B grade panel, burn ins are to be expected, and black spots for C grade. My Galaxy S5 panel has typical burn ins on the top status bar, and the S7 panel has more severe burn ins, but fortunately they don't have any discolourations or dimples or such major problems This guy will recommend ifixit panels, but you can see those panels are not worth it if you are fixing a 4+ year old device
Do you still have these phones? Could you do a video in slow mo compacting the brightness from high to low? A lot of us are curious about the PWM flicker on the LCD replacement. Thank you!
Thank you so so much for this very informative video. Even though I don’t have a higher iPhone model (still using iphone 6) to try my home repairs but this type of videos are very helpful. Keep rocking and please don’t stop making these informative videos for us. Love from Pakistan 👌👍
ironic that in this video, whether it be because of the angles or whatever, the OEM vs the OEM refurbished were the two displays where I saw the most discrepancy between the colours on the test output haha
Great video. Pls do one on batteries if you can. It’s more confusing but it’s something that has annoyed me since I got a bad battery from a supposedly good Amazon seller.
Basic question here: does the replacement screen with injected serial number has any problems after updating ios/resetting phone? I heard that those kind of screen replacement went back detected as non genuine screen after ios update. Thanks
Hard OLEDs suck. I had one on my iPhone X, and when I pulled the phone out of my pocket the screen was damaged really badly, but I didn’t do anything. The glass was undamaged also. After that, I went with an original panel. Colors and strength are much better.
OEM is relatively expensive, but you know what you‘re getting. Since I don’t have a repair shop and just do this for my friends I‘ll stay with that option.
Unless it's from Aliexpress, because to their sellers "high quality third party" is what makes it "oem" and will advertise it as such. Already fell for it once, fortunately I got my money back. It's safer when they say the screen is "used", because then you know the screen is the original one that they refurbished.
I got an LCD display for my OnePlus 5 as I was tired of breaking OLED screens. If left on for a long time, the bottom of the phone gets really hot, only on the screen side, most likely when stepping up the voltage for the backlight and the backlight brightness changes in 5 steps and the screen seems to run at 30Hz. Good enough to transfer files to a new phone or something.
I had an hard oled on my iphone xs and I also noticed heavy ghosting on image (especially when changed from a dark image to a white one), terrible contrast and low brightness,at point of being unusable in low light and issues with touch recognition. In my opinion anything but soft oled or oem is a terrible choice you will deeply regret,given how much these phones costs
@@razal.k wouldn't use different technology than soft oled. I have experience with GX soft oleds. They are decent, but there are better options. If you have the option to buy a refurbished original display, go for it (but only if you have the intention of keeping the phone for a long time.)
@@Panzertank123 for how long did you used your xs with soft oled. Did you noticed any screen burns or screen flickering/touch response issue while using it for long period ?
Nice video and thanks for the comparison. From watching this, I would probably go Soft OLED, since the LCD is inferior in terms of viewing angles and display, the Hard OLED is too fragile, and the OEM (albeit the best) is likely going to be too expensive. Having said that, I'd go OEM if the difference was only a few £s.
Hard OLED isn’t bad at all, he’s scaremongering to an extent. the chances of a hard OLED breaking without the glass also cracking is slim, the damage he is showing is from install error.
@@giomxx hard old is fragile, I've broken one installing it yesterday and had one I previously replaced also come in without a cracked screen but a cracked oled. I also only replaced phones at school every once in a while, so they are VERY delicate.
@@giomxxAnother 7 months later Ill also revive it, since it doesnt matter how much time passes, your comment is wrong. Hard oleds are fragile and break easier, I've seen this type of thing happen very often on such replacement parts. He was very valid in warning people of its fragility.
LCD screen still flickers or no? I think I heard it’s still in the programming for the oled displays it still would even with a swap out which sucks if it’s true
Anyone else been buying the wrong type of screen?
I always thought Hard OLED was the better option. I assumed hard meant built strong...
