Screen Size: 13.3 inches diagonally measured, designed specifically for the A1278 MacBook Pro series to balance portability and usability.
Resolution: 1280x800 WXGA resolution, providing a 16:10 aspect ratio for extra vertical screen space compared to standard 16:9 displays.
Touch Capability: This model does not feature touch functionality. The A1278 is a traditional clamshell MacBook with no touchscreen support.
Display Type: LED-backlit LCD with glossy finish, offering decent brightness and vibrant color for typical use like browsing, office work, and media.
Connector Interface: Uses a 30-pin LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) connector, compatible with MacBook logic boards from mid-2009 to mid-2012 models.
Panel Compatibility: Designed to fit directly into the aluminum unibody MacBook Pro A1278 series—screen is compatible with models from late 2008 to mid-2012.
Installation: Requires removal of the glass front panel (which is separate from the LCD), followed by LCD replacement using internal brackets and the LVDS cable.
Color Reproduction: Standard color range for non-Retina displays, adequate for general tasks but not ideal for professional color work.
Brightness: Offers up to ~300 nits, suitable for indoor environments and everyday use.
Surface Finish: Glossy display enhances contrast and color but may produce reflections under bright lighting conditions.
Durability: Built with robust LCD construction; glass panel protection depends on original front glass (not included with bare LCD replacements).
OEM Specification: Matches Apple’s original screen design and performance; ideal for direct replacement without compatibility issues.
Weight & Fitment: Lightweight, thin profile designed to integrate seamlessly into the A1278 MacBook lid with OEM alignment.
Camera & Sensor Cutouts: Not applicable on the LCD panel itself—those are built into the top bezel and glass, which remains separate from the screen.
Use Case: Best suited for A1278 users needing a replacement LCD due to dead pixels, backlight issues, or physical damage.
