display replacement for imac 27 late 2013

It's still a good computer (especially with the upgraded SSD blade drive), so I wanted to put it to use. I looked for a new panel, but they are overpriced or damaged (eBay ~$500). Same old story, the previous owner tried to take the screen off to replace the HD and inadvertently cut the flex-connectors to the panel. I recently bought a 27 inch later 2013 iMac with a broken screen. TL DR - A Monoprice MPLE27QPM monitor has the same panel used by Apple in their 27 iMac 2012 The F1 is for the late 2012 models while F2 is for late 2013. C1) that makes the screens incompatible as they look completely different and have different connectors, but F1 and F2 LOOK the same. They seem to be far more common and if there is any actual difference.

If not, can I change to the LM270QW1(SD)(F1) instead of the (F2)? Is there any chance if I buy the 5k display that it will work on my iMac? I would really like to make the best of this situation and upgrade the display. The correct panel seems to cost $500USD to $1000USD, while the 5k (LM270QQ1-SDA2) panel seems to only cost $350-$700USD.įrom looking at the pictures the connectors appear compatible but I also know that there was an upgrade in graphics hardware to drive the 5k displays. I was looking around for a replacement and for some reason the 5k displays are quite a bit cheaper than the correct (LM270WQ1 SD F2, 661-7885) display. I have a late 2013 A1419 27' iMac and while servicing it the technician damaged the flexible cable that feeds into the display itself.
