i know this could be a very divisive subject among a lot of vintage laptop enthusiasts as it takes away a good amount of the charm from a vintage laptop, but what do yall think of the idea of modern LCD replacements for vintage laptops, especially those whose screens have deteriorated or are just broken?

This is like the "should I replace the slowly dying CRT in my arcade machine with an LCD" argument. Haven't quite gotten there...but I might be forced to in the future.

Yep, seems divisive... but for some models (you know who you are!) its kinda past time... we are already replacing motherboards in various models; this needs to happen, while we still have some working originals.

thanks for the input you guys. yeah, it isn't exactly the same as having the original screen but when parts are scarce and if your screen is broken... i'm personally all for it. theres only so much we can do.
