Dell Latitude D620/D630 Series 14.1inch WXGA Glossy LCD Screen

Well as you might expect, Dell does things differently with their LCD panels. I've replaced a fair number of panels and have never run into anything like this one.

Rest assured, if you have a Dell Latitude D630 this panel WILL fit your laptop, and you do not have to buy anything extra. I cannot speak to the other Dell models since I have a D630.

This panel is glossy. I had a matte panel on my computer originally. On this computer, I like the glossy screen better than matte. The screen is not as bright as my old panel, but it appears to be much sharper. I had to do some color correction in the control panel - the LCD was running very very cold blue for my taste.

It's actually a very nice screen, as long as you like the glassy look (I do). Outside is as bright as OEM Dell panels. If you have an Intel powered videocard on your D630, see the issues below (older generation of D630) but the later ones, work like a charm!

-:Previous Review:- Dell uses different manufacturers for their screens and cables. Some have more wires than others (within the D630 line, which we use a fleet of them corporate-wide). I thought these were defective at first, because I'd get no video, but after trying multiple cables, I found one that worked. It has more wires than the typical handful of cables coming out of the connector, and into the motherboard. Be ready to buy a replacement cable, if you don't have many to test out...Read more
