Samsung j3 2016 - anybody used a generic screen replacement?

I have a j3 that needs a screen and it looks easy enough to change, anyone used a non-genuine lcd/digitizer like this

I've found genuine ones too but they're about €65

I have 1 with a working screen, 1 with a broken screen that I think works, and 1 on the way with broken screen that might work. I also looked on aliexpress, one buyers feedback included this picture, he says light shows at the sides. I have a bumper-type case on the way, that might cover it. I might get the cheap one anyway just for testing without disassembly.

Go genuine for the sake of the extra few bob. You'll get the cheap one, install it and a few weeks down the line it'll stop working. Or the colours will be off. And have fun sending it back to china. As long as you know what you're doing they're easy to change.

An original j3 2016 amoled screen costs almost as much as a new phone. Theres no point. Best to get a middle priced one ie https://www.aliexpress.com/item/AMOLED-LCD-Screen-For-Samsung-J3-2016-J320-Full-Lcd-Display-J320M-J320PJ320Y-J320F-Touch-Screen/32833145739.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.2.11873292CSm7C6&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2_10065_10344_10068_10342_10343_10340_10341_10084_10617_10083_10616_10618_10304_10615_10307_10302_5920011_10313_10059_10534_100031_10103_441_10624_442_10623_10622_10621_10620_10142,searchweb201603_2,ppcSwitch_5&algo_expid=81de3dac-b371-4104-80bc-197dd7f12017-0&algo_pvid=81de3dac-b371-4104-80bc-197dd7f12017&priceBeautifyAB=2
