Which should you buy, Chi Mei N156DCE-GN2 Rev.B3 or CSOT MG1561B01-1?
it is not built for laptops that originally shipped with FHD or lower-resolution panels. It also earns its place with owners of 4K UHD 15.6" laptops needing an exact-match Chi Mei panel replacement. it is not the pick for laptops with an eDP connector and wide-color-gamut or high-refresh use cases. The same goes for budget 15.6-inch laptop repairs with a VA panel and LVDS connector.
