Questions to ask before a screen repair
If a repair provider is unable to clearly provide this information, it is advisable to question their credibility and consider alternative options.
- Which screen type is being installed? Original/ Genuine, Refurbished, OEM, Soft OLED, Hard OLED, Incell or TFT.
- What are the display specifications? Ask about refresh rate(60hz, 90hz, 120hz), Pixel density(HD, FHD, Oled), Brightness level and if the screen may sit raised from the frame.
- Will any features be affected? like True Tone, touch response, software updates, battery draining, heating device and unknow part warning messages.
- Are there better options available? Compare screen quality levels and price differences before deciding.

Recommended premium alternative.JK Incell / RJ Incell
JK Incell is a budget LCD screen use for low cost and low quality repairs. It should only be used if no better option is available or the repair is purely temporary.
Not recommended for long-term use.
Important warning
Be careful if you been offered only Incell brand.
If a repair shop offers only JK Incell as a normal screen replacement, you may be receiving a very low-quality part. These screens have poor display quality, faster battery drain issue, device heating, eye discomfort, blackout & freezing issues.
Use only if:
- No better screen is available
- You only need a temporary repair
- Financial issue
- You fully understand the quality risk
Why we don’t push Incell for long-term use.
Incell screens are LCD-based and commonly offered by basic repair shops because they keep repair prices low. They can be useful for a quick temporary fix, but they are not ideal for long-term device life, eye comfort, heat control or battery performance.
Why Soft OLED and OEM are the smarter choice.
Soft OLED and OEM screens are usually offered by premium repair shops because they give a better viewing experience, lower power consumption, stronger touch response and more stable performance for everyday use.
