This seems reasonable for $199. They're replacing the panel and the glass.

Can anyone vouch for the service?

From what I have heard, the turn around time is pretty good, but it isn't uncommon for there to be obvious signs of the work. Scratches and marks from the tools they use to remove the glass and whatnot.

Jeez. That's not what I want at all 🙂

Have you found anything on the actual quality of the screen afterwards? I googled but can't find any commentary from people that have done it.

When i first heard of it, that's the first thing that came to my mind. They didn't do a vary neat job. The LED backlighting on the screen is pretty bright anyway. I've had no real problems with it unless it's in direct sun. Not worth it IMO.

I believe that Gizmodo reviewed them, you might want to check there.
