I also posted this in the Displays forum a few days ago with no luck. Hopefully someone in here will have a better idea.
If you've had to, where would you guys buy a replacement display panel for laptops?
A friend of mine asked me if I could replace his cracked screen on a Sony Vaio that his kid broke. I'm still waiting on him to get me the model number, but I was wondering if anyone had a good place that they have purchased replacement display panels for laptops before. I haven't had to do this in the past few years, yet the last time I had, the screen I ended up purchasing looked like crap compared to the original (Kind of a foggy appearance sorta thing, I don't remember where I got it from though). I was thinking about just looking for another laptop of the same model on ebay or something with faulty hardware, but that doesn't really seem to be that cheap yet and most of them are also broken screens.
