Anyone interested in Lenovo T61p screens!!!!!

Good News!

I am getting a new T61p because I have a dea pixle on my current screen.

I already have a Samsung screen and the new one has an LG so when I get the new T61p I am going to do a comparison/review of the two screen!

I don't think the dead pixle will affect the comparison because it is kinda hard to see and it won't have any affect on the brightness, viewing angles, or colors the screen produces.

So I am expecting the new laptop on tuesday but unfortuntly I am out of town until friday. My comparison/review will probably be posted on Saturday.

Okay so what do you guys want to see in the review? Is there anything that you guys want to see or want to know about the two screens so that I can add it to my review?

 

Congrats on getting them to send you another laptop.

most of all, people want to see pictures. i have thought about purchasing a t61p, and i'm concerned mostly about the screen. i'll take a look at your review for sure!

 

I will definetly have pictures

 

Yes, I too will be very interested in seeing the difference between the two. I know the infamous problem with the Samsung screens with the M1530 with the grainy screens, but I know it also doesn't affect the T series nearly as much as it did the Dell's.

 

Please post detailed pictures of how big icons and text look on the WSXGA+ screen. Examples are like firefox up and browsing a site, a word document and desktop icons and start menu. Please don't resize anything or change any DPI settings, I want to see the screen as is. Thanks a lot!

 

how did you manage to get convince the to exchange you a new laptop? Did you have to pay the 15% restocking fee as their policy is a mininum of 5 dead pixel required.

 

I was able to exchange it for no extra cost.

 

Can you explain how you manage to do that? Did they give you any trouble?

 

It was actually really easy I called tech support and the guy told me that there is nothing he could do I continued to argue starting to annoy him and he offered to connect me to a supervisor. Well the supervisor wasn't avalible and he told me that I would b called back in 45-60min. It took 10min to get the call back I explained to him that I got the laptop 5 days ago and started to annoy him. He then told me he would set it up so that I could send this one back and put in an order for a new one. He gave me a number(can't remmber what he called it) and then told me to contact sales. I called sales and they set up a new order all in all it took about an hour. 30-45min was spent re ordering the laptop.

 

so the secret is "be annoying" ... I can do that.

 

Either that or the fact that I purchased it through my Dads work which buys thousands of them.

 

LOL. I think this was probably helpful if it was purchased via a business that makes large orders. Imagine being the supervisor who lost a company's business due to 1 stuck pixel!

For us small guys I don't think they would care at all.

 

I will appreciate it very much if you can share your Calibration ICC file for your samsung screen. -0-

 

I just left my screen as it came I didn't find any need to chnge its calibration.
