Reddit reviews AU OPTRONICS B140HAN01.1 B140HAN01.2 B140HAN01.3 Compatible LAPTOP LCD SCREEN 14.0" (Full-HD DIODE )

1. Barebones T440p: 180 shipped (I bought the 4GB variant, the one linked has a year of onsite warranty left).
   
   
2. AUO B140HAN01.3: 45 shipped
   
   
3. Crucial MX 300: 90 shipped
   
   
4. Genuine 9 cell battery (new): 75 shipped
   
   Total: ~385
   
   The battery I got along with it was barely used at 21 cycles, but I wanted the 9-cell for college, so there's that. I also added in a quad core i7, but I don't think that's necessary.

I just upgraded my T440p from 1366x768 to 1920x1080. It seems like a lot of what ends up happening with panel sellers is you order one thing and you don't get the exact right one. I orded a B140HAN01.2 from Amazon and ended up with a B140HAN01.1. Ordered glossy (because it was less expensive and I didn't really care ) but ended up with matte. I'm very happy with the screen, no dead pixels, installation was of course a matter of a couple of minutes. The only hiccup is that there is a tiny amount of light leakage from the backlight off the middle of the left side of the bezel. It was only $50, here's the link I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GIRSHEA

I bought my panel from "East Coast LCD" seller on Amazon. Great panel at good price.

As for "compatible", yeah, you don't want that. You want exact part number, East Coast LCD can do that, as well as other sellers.

As for 3-5 dead pixels...this is what you'll get from Lenovo with a new screen/laptop (I think their allowance might actually be 2-3 or 3-4 pixels), but it's now an industry standard with brand new screens. The panel I bought from East Coast LCD also said allowance of 3-5 dead pixels, but I cannot find any using any of the standard solid color backgrounds. My two cents is that on 1920x1080 and higher res screens, it's going to be come harder and harder to actually see a single dead pixel here or there in a sea of millions.

Here's another listing of the same panel you linked for much cheaper...they actually do offer no dead pixel guarantee. Seller by default is Vtek Screen, I don't know them and would ask if they are shipping exact or compatible, East Coast LCDs is also a seller (for cheaper) and I assume they ship exact model for this one, but I would ask them to be sure. East Coast LCDs don't offer no dead pixels, but do allow returns with a 15% restocking fee. ECL also shipped very fast, packaged very well. Like I said, I didn't get any dead pixels from the panel (B156HAN01.2) I ordered from them.

thank you! i only didnt link it because it looks like this

and since im not on mobile idk how to shorten it, i dont really care about the colors im not photo editing and stuff, just dont want a blurry screen yah know? thanks again!

I believe this is the panel you're looking for. This is what I found for my T440p at least which I would assume would take the same screen. Obviously don't just take my word for it though! I don't quite have time to dig into it properly right now. FRU: B140HAN01.2

As for the battery on my T440p, I get 3-4 hours with the 6 cell battery and aggressive power saving if I'm just sitting in class looking at powerpoints and checking email/reading PDFs. Just FYI.

Oh :(.

What about this seller? Amazon offers Prime which would be nice :D.

Thanks for the tip but this is what the listing for the 1.2 looks like on Amazon.ca: https://www.amazon.ca/AU-OPTRONICS-B140HAN01-2-SUBSTITUTE-REPLACEMENT/dp/B00GIRSHEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491100133&sr=8-1&keywords=B140HAN01.2 ($150+S&H).

Thanks for your response! I don't know much about screen so I'm wondering what is the difference between your screen and this cheaper screen

From what I can tell they are both B140HAN01.2. Thanks!

The Y40 is only $700 right now, with a very nice design and good performance. Battery life is about 6-7 hours.

If you are comfortable with upgrading parts on your own, there is an IPS display panel that is much better than the stock panel. You could also buy the $700 base model and upgrade to a 512GB SSD for $210.
