    Hi,
    I just got my Thinkpad T500 and I love it.
    I used Everest to find my LCD part number is: LTN154AT14L01 .
    Can anybody please help to find out if it's LED backlight.
    My T500 model is : 2242-8QU. The seller's spec said it's LED. But I feel it's not as bright as my one year old T400.
    Thanks

    According to the tabook it's a LED LCD. Which screen do you have on your T400? Some of the T400 screens are brighter than the T500 LED screen, which is rated at 200 nits.

    Thank you Zaz. Would you please give me more information about the tabook?
    I remember my T400 has a LG screen. I think the T500 is bright enough and has better color temp.
