Any decent suppliers of Dell screens in NZ that dont charge $500 for a $200 item ? :)

Have a Dell Latitude 5400 here with a smashed screen. FHD model.

Looked on Aliexpress, around $220 shipped for screen..... thought I'd check local before going any further :)

A lot of the panels are the same. Last time I had one done, it was a small company I found via a TradeMe advertisement. They were selling the panels, and in the fine print had a $50-ish fitting service. Decided to pay that rather than DIY. I was really happy with the result.

I've searched my email history but can't easily find which trader it was.

PB Tech also sell generic panels. Last time I got one was about $150 but that was a while ago.

You could contact them with the Dell model details and I'm sure they'd be able to provide a suitable replacement.

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

The last few repairs I've had done via Dell direct. And they've been fairly reasonable as they are already in-stock parts

No ham/foul logging a service call and explicitly say you are only requesting a quote only and you'll get a sales team send one in NZD valid for 3 weeks or so.
