FW13 Matte display, looking to swap to Gloss

Hi all!

I’m looking to hopefully 1:1 swap my Matte display with someone who has a Glossy display, in case anyone has one and is looking to change. As far as I can tell, my display is in perfect condition with uniform backlighting, and no dead pixels or anything. If anyone is interested in swapping, please let me know!

I’d highly prefer to do a local trade, (local to SoCal / LA area), but I would be open to shipping as well.

Device: Framework 13

Included Parts: Framework 13 Original Matte Display

Original Purchase Date: Unsure, as I bought my laptop second hand.

Region/Country: US / LA area

Price: Looking to do a 1:1 swap with an Original Glossy screen

Shipment: Would be willing to ship, but would prefer local trade if possible.

Pictures of the actual laptop/parts:

Welcome to the forum.

Pictures do seem to be required. Not just provided on request. As I believe, every post lacking pictures get asked my a mod to add them.

Also, if you read the pin Community Market category

Currently, we are only allowing sellers to create listings, please do not create a post if you are looking to buy a second hand laptop or a certain part.

Not sure if trades are allowed at this time. But there is reddit.com/r/frameworkmarket, which you could try if you get told trades are not currently allowed.

Please post photos.

Updated with photos!

As for what MJ1 was mentioning, are trades even allowed, as per the guidelines? If not, I could just go try my luck on reddit instead.

I think a swap is fine. The primary issue is you are offering, what you want as payment could be anything. :slight_smile:

We discussed this and although it’s not explicitly stated if we do or don’t either way, there doesn’t seem to be an issue. Carry on!

Hi @flurples. I’d be interested but I am living in Italy.
My glossy screen came with the laptop, an Intel 11th Gen DIY from May 2022 (I don’t remember the batch though…).
Since the beginning it had a dead pixel (green) centered horizontally and at 2/3 of the height.
Let me know if that can work for you! (I would understand if it doesn’t, considering the shipping and the dead pixel).

Edit: apart from the dead pixel, backlighting is uniform and I am putting a piece of micro-fiber cloth to protect the screen from the keyboard when closed (so no markings).

Did this swap happen? If not I’ve got the original gloss display in use on mine right now, although a shipment would have to happen (Oregon).

Hasn’t happened yet, sent you a message!
