Laptop Screen Replacement Guide 2026 — TN vs IPS vs OLED
Cracked your screen? Here's how to pick the right replacement and what it should cost.
Screen replacement is the #1 hardware job we do. Here's the 2026 breakdown of options and pricing.
Panel types. TN (cheapest, worst colours), IPS (standard, great colours), OLED (best contrast, higher cost, some burn-in risk).
Do you have to match the original panel? For most laptops, yes — the eDP connector, resolution and refresh rate must match. We keep the compatibility list for 500+ models.
Refresh rate upgrades. Many 60 Hz gaming laptops can be upgraded to 120 Hz or 144 Hz for ₹500–₹1,500 extra during a screen replacement.
HOPE Systems screen pricing. 15.6' HD ₹2,499 · 15.6' FHD IPS ₹3,999 · 13' MacBook Air Retina ₹8,999 · 14' 2K OLED ₹14,999. Turnaround typically 24 hours.
