Sharp LQ156D1JX01 vs Sharp LQ156M1JW25A: Comparison
What is the difference between LQ156D1JX01 and LQ156M1JW25A?
The gap that matters here is refresh rate: LQ156D1JX01 60 Hz against LQ156M1JW25A 300 Hz, which puts LQ156M1JW25A 80% ahead. Panel part number is not the same on both, LQ156D1JX01 on the LQ156D1JX01 versus LQ156M1JW25A on the LQ156M1JW25A. They differ on equivalence set too, p156-4k-sharp-lq156d1jx01 on the LQ156D1JX01 versus p156-fhd-300hz-sharp-lq156m1jw25a on the LQ156M1JW25A. There is a split on resolution as well, 3840x2160 on the LQ156D1JX01 versus 1920x1080 on the LQ156M1JW25A. They differ on panel type too, IGZO on the LQ156D1JX01 versus IPS on the LQ156M1JW25A. There is a split on surface as well, Glossy on the LQ156D1JX01 versus Matte on the LQ156M1JW25A. Backlight is not the same on both, WLED on the LQ156D1JX01 versus LED on the LQ156M1JW25A.
Which should you buy, LQ156D1JX01 or LQ156M1JW25A?
it is the wrong buy for laptops requiring a matte 4K finish. It is equally the pick for exact-match replacement for laptops originally fitted with the glossy Sharp LQ156D1JX01 4K panel. The LQ156M1JW25A is the one to take for competitive gamers replacing a 300Hz panel and repair shops sourcing a direct Sharp part, though it is not built for anyone needing a standard 60-144Hz panel at lower cost.
Where the two are identical
The common ground is wider than the gap: screen size, touchscreen and connector pins are identical here.
