The problem is that for whatever reason, touch panels (specifically the ones with built in digitizers) always have awful color accuracy. Every single panel that I've looked at to replace the one in my laptop is always like 66% sRGB. Also taking into consideration that it does both MPP and USI styluses, that digitizer is custom.
Edit: it's not a built in digitizer, it's glass. They're sourcing the panel from boe based on the parts image. Theoretically if you knew what you were doing, you could replace the digitizer. I've tried removing the glass from a panel before and it is a nightmare.
Edit 2: there's 3 panels that fit the descriptor of what you want and fit the framework 12 (not accounting for the glass digitizer). They're all discontinued and are like a decade old according to panelook.
Edit 3: I adjusted my search parameters to match the framework 12. It's a 12.2 in panel and according to panelook, all of them barring the discontinued one are 50% ntsc gamut or don't list anything. It's such an odd size that not many display manufacturers have options. Like 6 options, 6 different manufacturers.
Convertible laptops like this just suck in general to shop for. I wanted one with a dgpu and that left me with 3 current gen options, (11th gen Intel when I originally searched), all from Asus, or 7th-8th gen Intel (including the machine I had at the time).
Hey, thank you so much for helping me! Now I have a better idea of my options and what wants are viable and which are not.
