Which should you buy, BOE NV156FHM-T08 or CSOT MG1561B01-1?
Buy the BOE NV156FHM-T08 for mainstream 15.6" FHD laptop screen replacement and wide-viewing-angle upgrade from a TN panel, though it is not the pick for high-refresh gaming use (60Hz only). it is the wrong buy for laptops with an eDP connector and wide-color-gamut or high-refresh use cases. It also earns its place with budget 15.6-inch laptop repairs with a VA panel and LVDS connector.
