Which should you buy, AUO B156ZAN05.1 or Innolux N156HGE-EAB?

Buy the AUO B156ZAN05.1 for premium creator laptop screen replacements needing 4K at 120Hz, though it is the wrong buy for chassis whose display controller only supports 60Hz.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Screen size, panel type, touchscreen and backlight read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
