Innolux N173HCE-G33 vs Sharp LQ173M1JW04: the refresh rate difference

The gap that matters here is refresh rate: Innolux N173HCE-G33 144 Hz against Sharp LQ173M1JW04 300 Hz, which puts Sharp LQ173M1JW04 52% ahead. Panel part number is not the same on both, N173HCE-G33 on the Innolux N173HCE-G33 versus LQ173M1JW04 on the Sharp LQ173M1JW04. They differ on equivalence set too, p173-fhd-ips-40p-144hz-a on the Innolux N173HCE-G33 versus p173-fhd-40p-sharp-lq173m1jw04 on the Sharp LQ173M1JW04.

Which should you buy, Innolux N173HCE-G33 or Sharp LQ173M1JW04?

The Innolux N173HCE-G33 is the one to take for 17.3 inch 1920x1080 replacement for the models listed. It is not the one for laptops not on the fit list; check the part number on your current panel. The Sharp LQ173M1JW04 suits 17.3-inch high-refresh gaming laptop repairs, though it is the wrong buy for color-critical creative work (FHD 300Hz panels prioritize speed over gamut).
