I’ve heard that the first surface pro 4 screens shipped with a samsung display which eventually caused flickergate or something, so eventually microsoft replaced with an lg screen that became the same screen for the surface pro 5.
So the challenge people are having is purchasing a surface pro 4 screen that has challenges….
I want to get to the bottom of this as well. I’m not clear on what i need to buy, i just see the problems people are having with surface pro 4.

@sprout I have the same issue. I have a Surface Pro 4 with Samsung LCD Panel #: LTL123YL01-005. This screen has flickered in the past as well as fuzzed out. My screen is being replaced because it was cracked and the battery needs replacement as well. I am looking a the Surface Pro 5 Screen replacement option. There is a review posted in iFixit under Display purchases with these words " iFixit was *fantastic* about the whole situation, but I wanted to leave this review here because these Surface Pro 4 screens are just terrible. The better fix is to buy a Surface Pro 5 screen from iFixit and use a cable (Microsoft part number M1010537-003 - not available here) that retrofits Surface Pro 4 to the Surface Pro 5 LG screen properly. The Surface Pro 5 screens do not have the screen flicker issue, and given how absolutely horrible these devices are to open and repair, this isn't something you want to do more than once." I am trying learn a bit more but ready to to order parts.
