The Dell XPS 13 9305 4K screen replacement is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 46,000, available at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This is a new 13.3-inch UHD 3840 x 2160 touch panel assembly for the top display configuration of the Dell XPS 13 9305, running a 16:9 InfinityEdge screen at 400 nits with a bonded multi-touch glass layer. It swaps out a cracked, black, flickering, lined, or unresponsive display on your Dell XPS 13 9305. Mascom International keeps this exact Dell XPS 13 9305 4K assembly in Nairobi CBD for owners, laptop technicians, and computer shops that need the correct panel without a long wait.
The Dell XPS 13 9305 remains a favourite thin-and-light laptop across Kenya, chosen by consultants, university students at Strathmore and USIU, designers, and executives who wanted the sharpest 4K screen Dell offered in this chassis. When that InfinityEdge glass cracks after a fall, stops reading finger taps, shows coloured lines, or dims until the picture vanishes, the machine underneath usually still runs fine only the display has failed. Buying a whole new XPS costs several times more than a screen. This UHD assembly returns the Dell XPS 13 9305 to full 4K touch use, which is why repair shops along Luthuli Avenue source panels through Mascom International.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock only phone glass or generic laptop panels, Mascom International keeps model-specific assemblies like this Dell XPS 13 9305 4K unit in Nairobi CBD, matched to your machine before you pay. Technicians consistently tell us the hard part is separating the 9305 from the newer 9310, which uses a taller 16:10 3840 x 2400 panel that will not fit order the wrong one and you get a blank screen and a wasted week. We confirm fitment first. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to have the Dell XPS 13 9305 screen fitted while you wait, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of the 47 counties.

Common Questions About the Dell XPS 13 9305 4K Screen Assembly
Does this 4K assembly fit every Dell XPS 13 9305, or only some?
This panel is built for the UHD 3840 x 2160 touch configuration of the XPS 13 9305, so it fits units that shipped with the 4K screen from the factory. Before you pay, send Mascom International your service tag or a photo of the current display and its ribbon connector. The 9305 also came with FHD 1920 x 1080 touch and non-touch panels that use different parts, so this check matters. A confirmed match means the new 4K screen works the moment it is fitted.
What is the difference between the 9305 4K panel and the 9310 4K panel?
The 9305 uses the older 16:9 InfinityEdge chassis, so its 4K panel is 3840 x 2160. The newer Dell XPS 13 9310 moved to a taller 16:10 shape with a 3840 x 2400 panel and a different connector and frame. The two look similar but do not interchange a 9310 panel will not seat correctly in a 9305 lid. Always match the model number, not just the brand. Mascom International reads your part number before shipping so you receive the 9305-specific 4K assembly.
Does the touch and finger input still work after fitting?
Yes. This assembly carries the capacitive touch layer bonded to the LCD, so finger taps, swipes, and pinch-to-zoom behave exactly as they did when the laptop was new. Multi-touch works under Windows 10 and Windows 11 with no driver install. The Dell XPS 13 9305 did not ship with an active stylus, so this is a finger-touch panel rather than a pen digitizer. Because the glass and LCD are fused as one flush layer, taps register accurately without the gap or lag a dying touch screen shows.
How do I know if it is the screen or the whole laptop that failed?
Connect your Dell XPS 13 9305 to an external monitor or TV through its Thunderbolt USB-C port. If the picture appears cleanly on that second screen while the built-in display stays cracked, black, or lined, the panel is the fault, not the laptop. A machine that powers on, plays its start-up chime, and runs on an external screen almost always needs only a new display. Bring the laptop to Mascom International in Nairobi CBD and our team runs this same test before you buy, so you spend on the right part.
Why is the 4K assembly more expensive than a plain laptop screen?
The 4K version costs more because it is a complete bonded assembly, not a bare LCD. The UHD 3840 x 2160 touch glass is fused to the panel and the InfinityEdge frame, so the whole module is replaced as one sealed unit at 8.3 million pixels. Loose non-touch screens on other laptops cost far less because they carry no touch layer or bezel. At KSh 46,000, this covers the panel, the touch layer, and the bezel together. Mascom International states the honest figure up front rather than surprising you at fitting.
Can I fit it myself or should a technician do it?
Both routes work, but the InfinityEdge bonded frame on the Dell XPS 13 9305 takes more care than a standard laptop screen. Walk into the Mascom International store on Kimathi Street and our technicians fit the 4K assembly while you wait, testing touch and picture before you leave. If you order upcountry, use a laptop repair shop used to bonded XPS-style panels, since the bezel and adhesive need careful heating and lifting. We share basic guidance on request. Anyone new to opening XPS units is safer letting a technician handle it.
Is this a new panel or one pulled from a used laptop?
This is a new replacement assembly for the Dell XPS 13 9305, not a screen pulled from a scrapped machine. A new panel means no existing scratches, no worn touch layer, and no hidden crack waiting to spread across the 4K glass. Mascom International backs it with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, so if it arrives faulty or fails under normal use, we sort it out. Paying once for a new UHD assembly works out cheaper than a salvaged panel that can fail again within weeks.
What does the KSh 46,000 cover, and is fitting extra?
The KSh 46,000 covers the new 13.3-inch UHD 3840 x 2160 touch assembly itself, tested before it leaves Mascom International. In-store fitting at our Kimathi Street shop is quoted separately, since the bonded InfinityEdge frame takes extra time to open safely. Compared to replacing the whole Dell XPS 13 9305, which runs into six figures for a used unit, fitting only the screen keeps a sound machine going for far less. Screen prices shift with supply, so confirm the KSh 46,000 figure with Mascom International when you order.
Technical Specifications
Panel Resolution and Picture Quality
- 13.3-inch UHD 3840 x 2160 panel packs about 8.3 million pixels at roughly 331 pixels per inch for sharp text
- 16:9 aspect ratio matches the pre-2020 XPS 13 9305 chassis, unlike the taller 16:10 shape on the 9310
- 400-nit brightness stays readable under bright Nairobi office lighting and near windows during daytime work
- Wide-viewing-angle IPS-type panel holds colour and contrast when the lid is tilted or shared with a colleague
- 60 Hz refresh rate matches the factory display, so scrolling and video play back exactly as the original did
- Near-full sRGB colour coverage suits designers and photo editors who need accurate tones on the 4K screen
- Glossy touch finish reproduces the original look, giving deep blacks and strong contrast for video and photos
Touch and Digitizer Layer
- Capacitive multi-touch layer reads finger taps, swipes, and pinch-to-zoom the same way the original panel did
- Touch glass is bonded to the LCD, removing the air gap that causes lag on cheaper aftermarket screens
- Works natively under Windows 10 and Windows 11 with no extra driver download or manual setup needed
- Ten-point multi-touch supports on-screen gestures for scrolling, zooming, and rotating within Windows apps
- Bonded flush surface keeps taps accurate to the pixel, unlike a loose digitizer that drifts over time
- Finger-touch design matches the 9305, which shipped without an active pen, so expect touch without stylus support
Model Fitment and Connector Matching
- Built for the XPS 13 9305 UHD touch variant only, not the FHD touch or FHD non-touch versions
- Does not fit the XPS 13 9310, whose 16:10 3840 x 2400 panel uses a different frame and connector
- Ribbon connector and pin layout match the factory 4K assembly for a direct plug-in fit
- Service tag or old-panel part number lets Mascom International confirm the exact match before dispatch
- Sold as a full lid-side assembly, so the LCD, touch glass, and bezel arrive fitted together as one unit
- Correct matching avoids the blank-screen result that follows a wrong-connector or wrong-resolution panel
InfinityEdge Build and Frame
- Slim three-sided InfinityEdge bezel reproduces the original XPS 13 9305 near-borderless screen look
- Bezel and panel arrive pre-assembled, so the frame lines up cleanly with the laptop lid on refit
- Adhesive-mounted glass needs careful heating on removal, which is why in-store fitting is recommended
- Rigid backing plate keeps the thin panel flat and reduces flex during daily opening and closing
- Matched thickness fits the original XPS lid cavity without forcing or gapping at the hinges
- Factory-style frame keeps the webcam cut-out and sensor openings aligned with the laptop shell
Testing, Quality, and What Is Covered
- Each assembly is powered on and checked for dead pixels, backlight evenness, and touch response before dispatch
- New stock only, so there are no pre-existing scratches, burn-in, or hairline cracks on arrival
- 6-month Mascom International warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal use
- Faulty-on-arrival units are replaced directly through our Nairobi CBD service desk, without factory shipment
- Fitment confirmed against your service tag before payment, cutting the risk of a wrong-part return
- Honest KSh 46,000 pricing stated up front, with in-store fitting quoted separately by job
Installation and Safe Handling
- Removal needs mild heat to release the bonded bezel adhesive without cracking the 4K glass
- A single ribbon cable connects the panel to the mainboard, held under tape and a small bracket
- Static-safe handling protects the digitizer, so technicians use grounded tools during the swap
- In-store fitting at Kimathi Street tests picture and touch before you leave with the laptop
- Upcountry buyers should use a shop used to bonded XPS panels rather than basic clamshell screens
- Basic fitting guidance is shared on request for technicians handling their first 9305 assembly
Package Contents
- New Dell XPS 13 9305 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 touch screen assembly (LCD, bonded touch glass, and InfinityEdge bezel as one unit)
- Basic fitting guidance shared on request
- Mascom International receipt and 6-month warranty card
Note: This is a screen assembly only. It does not include the laptop lid back cover, hinges, webcam module, or antenna cables unless your unit needs a full lid — confirm with Mascom International if you require one. In-store fitting at Kimathi Street is available and quoted separately.
