Hello,

I have an issue with all LCD monitor types (IPS, TN, VA). I can accept notebook TN panels but not IPS. I can accept smartphones from Samsung's Galaxy (A, S series) which use AMOLED, Super AMOLED, or Dynamic AMOLED. Samsung also produces notebooks under the Galaxy Book series, which are the only notebooks using AMOLED displays. I bought the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro with AMOLED, but unfortunately, I experienced the same discomfort as with IPS panels. I also bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, which is okay for me.

I read that Dell XPS and HP x360 laptops with touchscreens used to use AMOLED displays from Samsung, but I'm not sure which generation. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Is there anyone who can accept smartphones with AMOLED but not classical LCD monitors? Any monitor or notebook tips, pls?

I have had this problem since I started working in 2008. Since then, many conditions have changed—such as jobs, office locations, places, and operating systems—but the problem still persists.

• Lenovo Thinkpad E531 - LED backlight => OK
• Dell Latitudes (2x notebooks between 2008-2015) - TN i assume => OK
• Dell Latitude E6430 - TN => OK
• HP ProBook 440 G6 - IPS => not good
• HP ProBook 450 G8 - IPS => not good
• HP Elitebook 840 G3 - TN => OK
• HP Elitebook 845 G8 - IPS => bad
• HP Elitebook 645 G9 - IPS => bad

Unfotunately, I do not own any TN yet so i do not know the exact panel name.

What i can say that working on old TN was fine. Switching to IPS worse and last generation IPS really bad. But I am talking about notebook. Since 2008 none of LCD desktop monitor was OK for me. Strange but i accepted the fact that notebook is the only option for me. That is a reason why i try to make from notebook panel using LCD contoller board my second monitor.

I am OK with the LCD screens on my old notebooks (3x Dell Latitude, 1x HP Elitebook). However, only the TN panel type works for me. Btw none of the classical monitors (IPS/TN/VA) worked for me. Conclusion: find a way how to connect notebook panel to my PC/notebook. There is an LCD controller board that can connect your notebook display (after detaching it from the notebook) to your PC as a screen or to your notebook as a second monitor. I tried 2x controllers with 2x LCD panels, but neither of them worked. One of them was receiving a signal but showed no picture, and the other one received no signal at all.

Does anybody have any experience with this LCD controller board? Is it working? If yes, is the quality of picture same as when it was a part of original notebook? Is it worth trying?
