Hi, Unfortunatly, i sat on my mac few days ago... and i broke the screen...
Apple is asking me about 65% of the price of the Mac to replace the screen... my bad.
So I looked at Aliexpress and it looks like i can find screen replacement units for 250$ rougly.
But i've read at several place that i will lose True Tone (iøm ok losing it) but more than that, the ability to adjust brightness and the webcam... Can anyone confirm or tell me what to be sure of before to buy a new screen?
Lastly, can i buy. a 2020 MI screen (same A2338 model)... even if mine is a M2 from 2022?
Thanks

Just received my screen for a MPB M1 and installed it on my MPB M2 and it worked without any issue.

As you now know, the M1 screen is the same as the m2. Yes you lose true tone, but if you have a good screen screen brightness and webcam will work fine.
