Laptop LCD Panel Upgrade (HP Elitebook G8 845)

[nobbnobb1]

Hello,

I have an HP Elitebook G8 845 with the base 14" 250 nit LCD screen which looks terrible. I believe the base unit is a B140HAN04.6 (but not 100% sure). From looking at some part interchange numbers, I believe this is the 400 nit upgraded panel which came as an option (not 100% sure...just based off an Aliexpress listing):

B140HAN05.3 https://www.panelook.com/B140HAN05.3...iew_42334.html

Then looking at the same family of panels, this unit appears to be a version with better specs:

B140HAN05.9 https://www.panelook.com/B140HAN05.9...iew_44257.html

Comparing the dimensions and interface, I would assume both of these panels should be a direct drop in replacement. Is there anything else I should check or pay attention to with regards to determining panel compatibility?

I did look at the service manual which has some part numbers for the various panels that came with these units, but they are HP part numbers which are meaningless in terms of determining what model the actual panel is.

If anyone has any thoughts that would be great! I am just looking for the best possible LCD panel that can be a drop in replacement for this laptop.

Thanks.
