### Factors Affecting MacBook Screen Replacement Cost
**1. MacBook Model and Year**
Newer MacBook models with Liquid Retina XDR displays cost more to repair than older Retina displays. The M1/M2/M3 chip MacBooks use integrated display assemblies that require specialized handling.
**2. Display Quality**
- **Original Apple Display**: Highest quality but most expensive
- **OEM Quality**: Comparable quality at 30-40% lower cost
- **Aftermarket**: Budget option but may have color accuracy issues
**3. Repair Location**
- **Apple Authorized Service**: Premium pricing, genuine parts
- **Independent Repair Shops**: Competitive pricing, varies in quality
- **Techfix Malaysia**: Best balance of quality and affordability
### Why Screen Replacement Costs Vary
The MacBook screen is one of the most sophisticated laptop displays available. Here's why costs can vary significantly:
**Retina Display Technology**
MacBook screens feature incredibly high pixel density (227 PPI for standard Retina, up to 254 PPI for XDR). Replacing these requires precision calibration.
**True Tone Sensors**
Modern MacBooks include True Tone technology that adjusts display warmth based on ambient lighting. Quality replacements must preserve this functionality.
**Integrated Components**
The display assembly includes the webcam, ambient light sensors, and in newer models, the display controller. All must work seamlessly after replacement.
