how to tell if a screen is OEM?

[niffcreature]

i'm replacing the screen on a droid mini. i don't THINK it's an AMOLED screen, although it looks pretty nice. still they are VERY cheap, starting at about 25$.

i'm noticing some inconsistencies in the less expensive and more expensive versions. my question is, should i be worried about getting a non OEM screen?

the more expensive version has shiny material on the back, as well as some stamps, stickers and writing on the cable:

while the less expensive one does not have these:

I moved this thread to the forum dedicated to discussing the Droid Mini.

thanks, i just thought it might get more exposure in the droid forum and it's not completely specific to the device but hopefully i'll get some help here.

It can be confusing. The Droid forum is dedicated to discussing the first droid (about four years ago).

If there is little response in the Droid Mini forum then perhaps the Android Lounge would do better.

thanks. i'm going to open up the phone and see which one is inside if anyone is interested!

interesting. the (OEM) screen inside the phone does NOT have any stamps or stickers on the cable, but it DOES have the silver material and a slight difference in one of the smaller cables that the more expensive ones have.

i'll probably go for the more expensive one, it's only 10$ more. but i'd still like to make sure its OEM. i think i'll post a thread in the lounge.
