In this review of the A1706 A1708 LCD Screen Replacement Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for MacBook Pro 13.3in owners who need a direct upper-screen swap with a near-original look and solid pixel performance. It replaces Late 2016 and Mid 2017 13.3in MacBook Pro models and delivers the expected 2560x1600 Retina resolution on an LED backlit panel, making it a sensible option for DIY repairs when the original upper assembly is damaged but the rest of the machine remains sound.

Key Features

  • 13.3in LED backlight: Provides the same Retina-sized display area used on the original MacBook Pro A1706 and A1708 models for consistent screen real estate.
  • 2560x1600 resolution: Delivers sharp text and detailed images suitable for code, photo review, and everyday productivity work.
  • Complete upper assembly: Includes LCD assembly, back cover, cable, and webcam so installers replace the whole top module in one job.
  • Model compatibility guidance: Explicitly lists EMC and model numbers to help confirm fit for Late 2016 and Mid 2017 13.3in MacBook Pro units.
  • Six month warranty: Provides a limited warranty period to cover defects or initial failures after installation.

Who It's For

This replacement is aimed at experienced DIYers, repair technicians, and owners comfortable opening a MacBook Pro to change the upper screen assembly. It fits users who want a cost-effective repair that restores Retina resolution and includes the webcam and cable so no additional parts are needed.

It is not for owners who need a full chassis replacement or who expect OEM factory-long durability; customers concerned primarily about hinge longevity or those unfamiliar with laptop disassembly should consider professional installation or alternate repair services.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Restores original 13.3in Retina resolution and generally matches the factory display quality.
  • Includes the full upper assembly (LCD, back cover, cable, webcam) to simplify replacement.
  • Easy to install for those with repair experience, and customers report good fit and function including Touch Bar compatibility on supported units.

Cons

  • Some users report hinge durability issues after installation, so long-term mechanical reliability can be a concern.
  • Not a complete laptop; buyers must be prepared to install just the upper assembly and confirm exact model matches before purchase.
