PanelCross, the laptop-screen swap ledger
A cross-reference database for determining which laptop LCD panels can replace one another, based on physical teardowns.
Field notes
PanelCross lets visitors search by the part number on a laptop screen label or by laptop model, then inspect recorded relationships between panels. Its records distinguish successful swaps, failed swaps, and replacements requiring modification. The homepage reports 1,789 panel part numbers, 1,196 laptop models, and 4,752 teardowns, while noting that 56% of models opened more than once contained different panels on separate inspections. Some specifications are inferred from model numbers rather than measured.
