How can I know.. LCD manufacturer?

Hey guys

How can I know LCD manufacturer?
Now I am using T42p. And I wonder my LCD.
Here is another question. Samsung and LG has less defect LCD?

thank you.

 

PC Wizard (free downloadable) is one of the many ways...

Otherwise, the Samsung screens are probably the most hated screens these days, while the LG/Philips are usually liked.

 

Thank you Dreamer~!

 

I have a LG/Phillips screen and it is great. Lots of people complian about the Samsung ones

 

My Samsung screen is perfect to me. Just a slight contrast issue (the bottom washed out compared to the top) but it's a really good LCD. It's just that the colors aren't completely even throughout. I'm sure that's a characteristic of most laptop screens though.

 

I would love to see some sort of pseudo-empirical comparison of the Samsung displays vs. their equivalent LG displays. Side-by-side photographs, for example, with both displays properly calibrated. I suspect much of the popular disdain for Samsung displays is just groupthink...my Samsung WSXGA+ panel is pretty nice, though the light leakage thing does bother me a little. I am so tempted to order another T61p just to do an empirical comparison, I think I'll make another thread right now for that purpose.

 

I doubt you will see what you want but.. well

Otherwise, the problem with the Samsung screens does exist, and those screens pretty much ruined the Dell Latitude series last year, something like 1000 pages complaints on the Dells own forum...

 

Don't get me wrong, though I suspect "groupthink", I *want* the truth in unarguable terms. If the truth of the matter is that the LG displays are significantly better than the Samsung displays, then I would be delighted just to know that, even if I own a Samsung display! I've made the thread ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=191784 ), hopefully there will be some interest, or someone local with whom I can compare displays!

 

Good Luck then...

And don't get me wrong but your "scientific" research won't change people's opinions about their own screens...

 

lol, true, but only because we live in a time where theories like "evolution" don't do much to convince creationists they might be wrong. I feel bad even calling my intended "research" empirical/scientific, it's really not. It wouldn't account for variations between displays from the same manufacturer, and also wouldn't account for inadequacies of the camera. But still, it is far more empirical than peoples' opinions, and I think it would provide interesting information for anyone who owns of these displays and has been reading this forum.

 

I've been hearing more positive comments on the Samsung screens from the newer Thinkpad owners.

I think we're well aware of the bad pub on Samsung lcds but its not beyond the realm of possibility that they may have improved their product which given all the negative feedback they've received any reasonable company will try to correct the situation.

This is all just anecdotal mind you. Also my LG suffers from light leakage too so its not just the Samsungs.

 

I think most mainstream consumer screens suffer from light leakage. I'm not sure though. I got my ThinkPad back in late August, so I guess it's fairly new.

 

I got a samsung LTN141WD-L05 and its the one people are complaining about but i don;t notice much problems on my. i don't notice any light leakage or that blueish color lcd. I compared it to my desktop sonicview lcd and it looked alrite.

edit

oya and my t61 is 3 weeks old so many thats the reason. maybe they fixed the problem
