Replacement screens for the S5 cost more than the phone itself, according to the adverts on ifixit and elsewhere. So, I get a 'chinese' one for 30.00, not really expecting it to work.
However, they work very well with these differences:
- can't change screen color tone.
- air gestures don't work
Are these experiences typical, or do I just have bad supplier ?
Is this a good question?

To be clear, they are all "Chinese" made, even out of factory.
"30.00", vs something more expensive... that is a different discussion.
iPhones are "Chinese" made after all.
To answer your question, yes a $30 is a "b" condition and will definitely have flaws, either a tone defect and/or other defects.
"Gestures" is a sensor on the top of the assembly, and is a separate sensor. Some assemblies include this sensor, some don't. For $30, highly doubtful.

Digitiser should not affect the screen tone, however, I´m not sure about the gestures.

Sorry, I should have made it clear that I meant a digitiser/lcd assembly. I wil try and do a side-by side comparison.
