Macbook Air A2179 Screen Assembly In Space Grey
This is a complete top lid for MacBook Air A2179 13‑inch, finished in Space Grey and built to OEM Quality for precise color and fit. The assembly arrives ready to install with the lcd panel, outer aluminum lid, hinges, display flex, antenna set, clutch cover, bezel, and FaceTime HD camera pre‑fitted.
The panel matches factory performance with crisp Retina detail and uniform backlight, making it a direct swap for cracked, no image, backlight faults, lines, or water‑damaged displays. You get a clean cosmetic result that aligns perfectly with the chassis color and hinge geometry of the 2020 Intel MacBook Air.
Full Retina Specifications For A Consistent Repair Outcome
The display is a 13.3‑inch led‑backlit ips Retina panel at 2560 × 1600 native resolution and 227 ppi for sharp text and UI scaling. The aspect ratio is 16:10 with a glossy surface and integrated antireflective coating for improved contrast and clarity.
Typical brightness is 400 nits with wide viewing angles and support for millions of colors in the sRGB range. The panel runs at 60 hz and supports Apple True Tone when paired with a compatible logic board and current macOS, preserving ambient‑aware white balance for a more natural image.
Compatibility, Inclusions And Connectors
Compatibility is limited to MacBook Air A2179 13‑inch (2020, Intel, Space Grey). The assembly is not cross‑compatible with A1932 or A2337 models due to different cable routing, brackets, and lid geometry, so always confirm the model number on the bottom case before ordering.
The unit includes the lcd, aluminum top case, hinges pre‑aligned, antenna pair integrated in the clutch area, 720p FaceTime HD camera and microphone opening, display flex with eDP connection, clutch cover, and perimeter gasket. The camera and antennas use the stock board connectors for a plug‑in fit, and no panel‑level soldering is required.
Installation Notes For Repair Shops
You can install by disconnecting the battery, removing the bottom case, releasing the display and camera flexes, unbolting the hinge screws, and transferring the new assembly in reverse order. You should protect the hinge area during alignment, snug the hinge screws evenly to prevent lid skew, and verify even panel gap before final torque.
Post‑install checks should include image quality, backlight uniformity, camera function, wifi signal strength, ambient light response, and True Tone availability. You run a pixel test at multiple scaled resolutions including 1680 × 1050, 1440 × 900, and 1024 × 640, confirm 60 hz refresh, and ensure sleep‑wake behavior is stable when opening and closing the lid.
The screens are covered with a 2-year warranty. The warranty does not cover man-made damage.
