Lenovo Thinkpad's TN panel APPRECIATION THREAD

Shut the fuck up I hate this garbage resolution.

My x230 is great otherwiser but I'm ready to spend like 500 dollars on a new machine JUST for a better screen.

Too bad the 1080p mod isnt easier.

1368x786 is only good for blind idiots.

If you have somewhat decent vision, it's like cancer.

>>62293457
I am 9001% sure that this is sarcasm.

Compare the best IPS thinkpad panel to the worst TN Apple panel and the difference is profound.

Thinkpad displays are so shit it's not even funny. I can't use my T420 anymore.

>>62293457
768 is not a bad resolution. It makes everything easily readable. I myself even prefer it to 4k.

>>62293457
>>62294068
bait

>>62293933
I'm a faggot who is trying to get eye cancer and want to be able to think my computer screen is real life so I can fap to my trap porn harder.

I have a t440p, what panel do I have ?
Whats the difference between a TN Panel and a ... Panel ? What other Panel exists ?

Does that one work for the t430 non-s?

Your sarcasm detector is broken you morons.

IPS, VA

IPS has better viewing angles and colour reproduction but slower refresh than TN by a fair margin.

VA has better contrast than TN but suffers from the same issues of viewing angles, though not as bad. Has comparable refresh rates to TN but again, slightly slower and more obscure.

OLED blows all out of the water but is still an emerging technology and is very expensive compared to all the others.

I'm starting to get used to it, lads. It doesn't compete with 1280x800 though.

my laptop doesn't have a screen the interface is nothing but beeps and blinking lights

>>62294957

that's basically the same PPI

Worthless shitskin.

>>62294428
I'm just too dumb and lack the equipment to actually do the install.

Niggers, you paying 200$ for premium laptop. And you even complaining?
TN panels are cool enough.

I got a x200t because it has an IPS panel. 1280x800 is fine, my eyes are shit enough that it doesn't really matter.

>>62295371
This. It's a comfy resolution.

What's a good laptop with a good screen if I don't want Apple even for free? No need for gaming, just overall nice laptop. No numpad too so the keyboard isn't aligned to the left.

A Thinkpad or EliteBook would be a perfect foto/video machine for me except for the shitty fucking screen.

How the fuck did they get away with it for so long?

It strains credulity how fucking awful some of the displays are.

Years ago my first laptop was an ideapad u410. I got it because it was a good value proposition with the general specs. I wasn't even aware of thinkpads then but it had this 720p TN panel.
I now have an x220 with an IPS display and the difference is night and day. It's fucking beautiful even if the resolution is a bit low.
On my old screen the blacks were like a glowing navy colour and whole image just looked like someone had shoop'd the contrast to nothingness. Colours dull and brightness low.

Oh I wasn't really commenting so much on what he was saying. Some TN panels are fine. Lenovo screens in general are abysmal but man that fucking u410 screen was visual cancer.

>>62296944
Because screens generally aren't that critical for most of what enterprise laptops are used for.
You could get some of the older IBM Thinkpads with nicer panels, though.

X220 owner here. The laptop is beautiful and very useful. You're deluding yourself if the stock TN display is good though. Someone's making a 1080p converter though, so that's nice.

how is that garbage?

My T61 is 1440x900.

Can confirm. It's comfy.

Does anybody has the "bezeless" mod here?

You dual boot windows dont you fag. Or worse were you phone posting?

Appreciation? What? No way.

I just don't wanna spend 70€ on a fucking IPS screen for my X220 but honestly TN is fucking terrible for this display. I don't understand the praise at all. The resolution is pretty low as well but to be fair that's not really that much of an issue considering the current monitor I work with.

Best Distro for loonix for a T410?

>>62293457

My X220 came with a 1368x768 IPS, and had the webcam removed.

It's honestly one of the best laptop screens I've ever seen. You can see it from any angle.

>>62293457
I've always wondered why /g/ was so sensitive with privacy but are totally fine with using a chinktop from a company with a history planting survellience software in their hardware.

Sauce?

i like the 1280x800 on my hp elitebook 12". however, this is from 2007, so something like that in a fairly modern laptop is pretty disgusting

>>62293457
the IPS screen in my x220t is the shit

>t430 didn't go to sleep when I closed the lid last night (fucking stop doing this POS Windows 10)
>fans were blocked for 8+ hours by my clothes

How fucked is it?

>>62299414
I've had two of these pieces of shit, it's asinine how badly these things deteriorate over time, and how easy the are to damage. Yet, the stock LED panels are indestructible. This afternoon I'm gonna switch back to my original, I can't stand it any longer.

LED mod sounds neat, though. The CCFL dark corners were another trigger of mine.

>but muh ips

Yeh sure, some chinkpads come with ips and it looks pretty good, but doesn't change the fact that you can't even open an image bigger than 1000 pixels wide without downscaling.
Browsing the web feels like you're using a cheap phone in desktop mode.

I love the laptop but the screen is horrible. I'm using the dock and the external monitor so it doesn't bother me that much but its disappointing that Chinese IPS mod is gone.

Any T or W *20/*30 thinkpads with proper screen? No mods, IPS already installed?

>>62302628

Just buy a new thinkpad.
