I have a pretty good laptop considering what I do, handles and renders premiere pro videos well and runs everything it needs to run.
I'd say around March this year I was playing Hypixel on it, got pissed and threw my mouse at the screen; screen got completely destroyed, 80% of it was unuseable and the 20% was in the bottom left corner.
I couldn't be asked to get it repaired, i was in my room all day anyways and just let my laptop screen go down and used an external display & it worked fine.
You can see what I did in the thread below; but my setup is usually better, I was working an internship in a different country at the time and just stayed at a University
looksmax.org
But my family decided to go to America; issue is that we didn't have enough suitcase storage for my monitor, so I had to go and get its display fixed.. finally.
It's a Lenovo ideapad gaming 3, the default display is 120hz, before getting it repaired I asked the repairman for clarification that it would infact be a 120hz display.
He said yes.
It worked fine for the first 2 weeks of it being repaired, but now my screen has started jittering, changing tabs too quickly literally splits my display in half (half my screen on one half, half on the other)
For example, if I switch between org & com too quickly, this happens:
(This is a cropped image, if I try to screenshot the actual occurance then it shows up as normal since this is a hardware issue)
After asking ChatGPT about it, turns out my repairman cheaped out & gave me a shit screen that could "handle" 120hz, but not run it consistently & well. I paid $US200 for the repair, literally DIYing it would've been cheaper and done better, but I didn't have time to wait as this all happened days before leaving to America.

I've been wanting to change my laptop's display myself, it's a ThinkPad and the only device where I dare to use/learn Linux on but I've been afraid of getting some fake/low quality shit from Aliexpress. I've already changed its heat pipe and replaced the touchpad with a glass touchpad from a new gen laptop and it has been a success 
recommend it
