The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) is a mid-range smartphone in the Galaxy A series. It was unveiled by Samsung in January 2017 together with the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) and A5 (2017).

LCD screen broke, no display at all. Posisible repair shop ripoff.

The LCD screen on my A7 broke recently; the outer glass is intact, but the display is almost fully black with some artifacting on the bottom. It also doesn’t seem to respond to touch. I took it to a repair shop and they said they could replace it with a “low-sensitivity” screen that would cost $55, and a “high-sensitivity” that would be $75. When I look up screen replacements on eBay, some are like $200 and others just $35. What’s going on here? Maybe I’m just confused.

I don’t know what this low and high sensitivity thing is but it sounds like touch would be more laggier on the screen that’s $20 cheaper.

What I would be concerned about is whether or not the replacement screen is OLED or LCD (TFT) because the colors are going to look a lot worse on an aftermarket LCD screen. Originally the screens in these phones are OLED and not LCD.
