We offer three types of MacBook screens: Apple screens, original screens, and refurbished Apple screens, each at different prices. Please note that the term “original screen" is commonly used in the repair industry to refer to aftermarket screens for marketing purposes. There is a significant difference in quality between Apple screens and aftermarket (third-party) screens, which we discuss in detail later on this page.
When you need to replace the MacBook screen, you may need to make a decision between using an Apple original screen or a cheaper third-party screen. We compare an Apple original screen with a third-party screen side by side shown in the following photo to help you better understand the differences.
The above two MacBook Pro A1708 were manufactured in 2017. Both MacBooks use the same background picture and set the brightness to maximum. The screen on the right-hand side is an Apple original screen; the one on the left-hand side is a third-party screen purchased online. You can tell the differences straightforward by the quality of the images. Here we discuss the technical details.
A MacBook screen consists of two major components, an LCD panel and a strip of LED lights called backlights. The LCD panel creates the image. The LED lights illuminate the image from behind the LCD panel. There are significant differences between an original Apple screen and a third-party screen as outlined here:
- Backlight purity. Apple uses high-quality LEDs as backlight sources. The backlight is pure white. On the other hand, the backlight of the third-party screen is bluish. The bluish backlight degrades the vivid picture dramatically.
- Backlight brightness. Even after eight years, Apple's high-quality LEDs provide brighter lights and remain near the same brightness level. Low-quality LEDs not only produce bluish light but also have brightness degradation problems. The brightness of some third-party screens may only maintain half of the original brightness level after a year of use.
- Photo sharpness. The Apple original screen produces a much sharper image thanks to the high quality of the LCD panel, as you can see on the right-hand side of the above photo.
We strongly recommend using Apple original screen if you have the budget. For more MacBook repair costs please visit: MacBook repair price list

What causes the MacBook screen not working?
Apple MacBook screens are a high-quality and very reliable product. Most of the time, they won’t go wrong for no reason unless they have been suffered from physical impacts or exposed to liquid. You can easily notice a physical-damaged MacBook screen such as a cracked screen. You can see the image as well as the cracks. In this situation, you definitely need a MacBook screen replacement.
Other display issues such as a Mac black screen or dim images are harder to diagnose, as the screen itself and the video chip on the logic board would equally contribute to the symptoms.
If your MacBook screen has the following symptoms, you need professional advice before replacing the screen.
- Intermittent flickering screen
- Grey or Black screen
- Vertical lines or Horizontal lines
- Screen no backlight
