Laptop screens 14 inch are replacement display panels for notebooks with a 14 inch diagonal, suited to anyone repairing a cracked, dimmed or lined screen. Types include HD and Full HD panels, IPS panels and touchscreen versions. No models are listed in this category at the moment, so the guidance below helps you check compatibility before buying.
How to choose a 14 inch laptop screen
Part number. Match the exact panel code printed on the label at the back of your current screen, not just the screen size. Two 14 inch panels can look identical yet differ in connector, resolution or mounting. If the label is unreadable, the laptop model number and the original resolution are the next best clues.
Connector. The cable plug on the back of the panel must match the cable inside your laptop. Many modern laptops use a 30 pin eDP connector, while older models often use a 40 pin LVDS connector. The pin count and the position of the socket both matter.
Resolution and panel type. Common 14 inch resolutions are HD (1366 x 768) and Full HD (1920 x 1080). Replace like with like unless you know the laptop and its graphics support a higher resolution. IPS panels have wider viewing angles and better colour than basic TN panels, which matters if you edit photos or share the screen with others.
Touch or non-touch. A touchscreen panel needs a touch-capable laptop with the right cable and controller. Fitting a non-touch panel in a touch model usually works, but you lose touch input. Going the other way generally does not work.
Thickness and brackets. Newer slim panels often have no metal side brackets, while older panels have screw tabs on the sides or at the top and bottom. Check which mounting style your laptop lid expects before ordering.

Frequently asked questions about 14 inch laptop screens
How do I know which 14 inch screen fits my laptop?
Read the panel code on the label on the back of the existing screen and match it exactly. You can find it by removing the bezel and looking behind the panel. Also confirm the connector type, resolution and whether the screen has touch.
Can I replace a laptop screen myself?
Yes, many people do, provided they are comfortable with small screws and delicate cables. The job usually involves removing the bezel, unscrewing the panel, disconnecting one display cable and fitting the new panel. Switch the laptop off, unplug it and remove the battery if it is removable.
Can I upgrade from an HD to a Full HD screen?
Sometimes, but only if the new panel uses the same connector and the laptop supports the higher resolution. Some models are built for one resolution only, and a different panel may give no picture. Check forums or the manufacturer's specification for your exact model first.
How can I tell if the screen or something else is faulty?
Connect the laptop to an external monitor. If the picture on the monitor is fine, the laptop's internal panel or its cable is the likely fault. Visible cracks, black patches and coloured lines usually point to the panel, while a dark but faintly visible image can point to the backlight.
