    what is the correct LCD screen to purchase for my a1304 macbook air?

    I see several options online and it is confusing me. Here is what i've run across:

    AUO B133EW03 ( I believe this is the original equipment?)
    AUO B133EW04

    LP133WX2 (manufactured by LG)

    was there a Samsung version?

    There are also a host of random (aftermarket) brands available for about half the price. Is there really any advantage/dis-advantage with going with the aftermarket LCD's? Im thinking due to the difficulty of this repair i would rather pay a bit more up front and not have to deal with replacing the LCD a second time.


    TIA!!

    I know apple uses both manufacturers but I've never had any luck with lg products. Apple also had to recall ipads with lg screens. But thats just my bias talking to go with the Samsung stuff...
