    I fixed a few phones before that, and only seemed to get crappy screens that would fail after a few months of use. It's just infuriating to know some manufacturers produce screens that are just bad. Like: what is the purpose? People buy them once, find its trash, then give up on repairing because it's too much money for what it's worth. Why sell that crap? Sell only the good screens, people pay more and get what they need!

      @@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.

      @@Henry_Jr_Watsson 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.

    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).

    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.

    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

I have a hard time convincing customers which display they can prefer based on how much they want to spend to repair their iPhone. Some just don't want to spend too much while others just want the best. I do recommended pulling off an original display from a broken motherboard or locked iPhone. But not a very successive procedure and sometimes sellers want too much. So with comparison and reference to this i can always show them what's what and what's best.

      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

    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.
