    Does someone out there has vanilla LED on X220?
    I wonder how it performs compared to the old X201 screen as well as the new IPS screen. We all know IPS is better viewing angle but how's regular screen perform in other aspects at perfect viewing angle (contrast, color, brightness, etc)

    Not being sold until the 19th of April so no one has one yet. No reviews mention the normal resolution screen. Possibly ask about the other X systems that are close to know what to expect

    The spec on the tabook has a contrast ratio 300:1 for it, I am not going to expect much from it. I think it should be at least on par with the newer T420 and the old X201.
