I just purchased a new display to replace the shitty TN panel my laptop has.
Thing is, the seller said "you can get any of these four models, depending on availability" and I assumed they would be equivalent.

Nope, just compatible. I can get one that does 100%, 95% or 66% sRGB.
I guess I just have to wish real hard it's the first one.

Given, all four possibilities are way better than the one I currently have, with actually reasonable viewing angles.

Shoulda bought it on AliExpress.

Update: it's here, it's installed and it's not even one of the models listed, but it does have pretty good viewing angles.
It's 66% sRGB tho, sooooo maybe AliExpress would have guaranteed I got the right model.

Now I just have to wait for the controller board for the screen I just removed to arrive and I can turn it into a portable monitor!

Oh yeah, it's still got a very narrow color gamut but it being normally black, has a very good contrast ratio.
