[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1556555, member: 51635"] Their site clearly says they use the same panels Apple uses. They also have virtually all of the panel types, glossy and matte, and they are all the same price new. [url=http://www.powerbookmedic.com/15-Inch-MacBook-Unibody-Display-LCD-Screen-NEW-p-17295.html]15 Inch MacBook Pro Unibody Display LCD Screen[/url] $150 is a lot for a panel relative to other laptops, but it's Apple so I'm sure there's a premium. I don't know how much Apple would charge to fix a panel, but $600 is not out of the realm of possibility, particularly now that these laptops are no longer made and this screen is not used anymore. They would be using a screen they *only* got for these kinds of repairs. As well, I'm sure many of the broken screens are from impacts other than the screen surface, so the panel is probably dented/broken too, so that price may include the whole top (which takes a lot less labor, so they may opt for that anyway).
