I have for sale a new 15" SXGA+ T60 FlexView/IPS LCD with IBM FRU 42T0325, being a LG-Philips LP150E05(A2)(K1). As said, the LCD is brand new, and comes sealed - in the exact same condition as I received it (I never opened it).

I am absolutely happy with the identical LCD which is in my own 15" SXGA+ FlexView/IPS T60 (model 2007-QPG). There is a review of a T60 with this LCD here - in the conclusion under "Pros" saying:

Notebookreview, in their review, wrote:The 15" FlexView screen offers a fantastic viewing experience and really makes it easy on the eyes for day long computing.

... and also read the review part "Screen"...

Asking $110 shipped to lower 48 US states (ships from Wyoming, USA). Payment methods: PayPal or USPS MO (money order to an USA forum-friend). Worldwide shipping is also available; please mail for actual shipping costs. Please use e-mail (my mailbox here is almost full): johan_granholm [at] yahoo [dot] dk

Will this work on a T4x series or not?

Honestly, George, I don't know this for sure... and my "belief" is not worth much, unfortunately. This question however has been discussed a few times on this forum; see e.g. the threads R50p and T60/T60p LCD for T41p motherboard (see the post by Troels of Thu Jun 05, 2008 2:10 pm) and 15" Flexview UXGA screen for sale and in

[quote="... the thread Upgrading t60 xga to sxga+ 14.1", in his post of Sat Feb 23, 2008 5:43 am, Troels"]Unlike the T4x series, the resolution and other specifications [Johan's note: In a T60] are determined by the EDID of the LCD. This EDID is stored in a 256 byte EEPROM located on the LCD panel itself.

The HT14P12 does contain a stock EDID from the factory, but it was never used for anything on the T4x series. On the T4x, only the resolution could be determined by the means of different cables where one connection was cut in one, and another here and there. [/quote]
If you offer to investigate this very interesting and surely scientific question then I would be happy to send you this LCD... I offer to pay the shipping costs, and if it turns out not to work, and/or if you decide not to buy it for whatever reason, you just agree to ship it (on behalf of me) to some hopefully future, other happy buyer. Let me know via e-mail if this offer is of your interest. Hey, George, maybe you and I can win the Nobel prize if having success in this highly scientific investigation?! Wow!!

Bump! FlexView/IPS! Still available! No need to keep back!

Johan

Bump! Price reduced to $90 incl. shipping to lower 48 US states. Worldwide shipping still available. Next stop eBay??

Johan

I'll take this. Drop me an email when you get the chance and we'll work the details out...

I sent you an e-mail on Monday Nov. 3, George.

Bump! I still have a couple more of these T60 15" SXGA+ FlexView/IPS LCD's (all new!), so feel free to e-mail me if there is any interest. Worldwide shipping still available. Contact information etc. in the first pst in this thread-

Johan

Bump! One LCD panel sold to George, but I still have a couple more left (all new). Again, this is an opportunity to e.g. upgrade a 15" XGA T60 (and hence non-FlexView) to SXGA+ FlexView/IPS at a very affordable price - or an opportunity to acquire a spare LCD for future use.

If ordering one of these LCD's directly from IBM maintenance parts they charge $983.28 (!!) and even with unknown availability.

Johan

Bump! Don't postpone happiness if you want a spare LCD, or if you want to upgrade a T60 XGA LCD to one of these FlexView SXGA+ !

Johan

Bump! I still have a couple of these 15" T60 SXGA+ FlexView/IPS LCD's left... so if you consider getting a Christmas present for yourself, this is an all-time awful, fantastic opportunity!

Worldwide shipping is still available.

I was not able to answer specifically "yes" or "no" to this question (but only shared some speculation in this post), but I asked our friendly ThinkPad-expert, James (jamiphar) who has also bought one of these LCD's. In response to this, James replied:

jamiphar wrote:I tried testing the LCD with a T42, but it didn't work. This is probably just a compatibility problem.

... so that seems to be the answer, for now. Thanks again, James, for trying this out.

Anyway, the last two of these LCD's were just sold, so this therefore concludes my first "All items sold, hooray!" experience here on the Marketplace. In this context, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the forum Administrators and Moderators for first of all providing this trading space/opportunity, and secondly for spending all your private time to continuously keeping it up and running - and all this in such a way that it creates one of the the most honest and trustworthy cyber-space/-place which I know of to conduct business amongst ordinary people. Had it not been for this ThinkPad Community, I had most likely never been able to own a T42p (after having dreamed of that for years!)... but now I do, and "once you go black, you never go back" - so now I'm all "black" and happy, and thank you for that, all you helpful, friendly and honest forum Admins, Mods and -members! Deeply appreciated, this forum.

Best regards,

Johan
