Do any of the 15" T60p displays use a brighter display as the top end "Z" series are supposed to?

they are brighter than a standard LCD (200 nits on all the 15" UXGA T60p panels vs. 150 nits on the standard displays), but not as bright as the 300 nit MaxBright displays on some Z60m models. all the 15" T60p panels are UXGA resolution and are made by BOE Hydis, which traditionally makes a very nice panel. these panels are also FlexView displays, which means they use IPS technology to improve viewing angles and brightness.

Hydis also makes the 12.1" XGA display on the X41 tablet, which has exceptional viewing angles and 180 nits of brightness. I've seen several Hydis panels on some T42's and T43's, and can say definitely that they are superior to Samsung panels with equivalent specs. it's not a huge difference, but they seems to be a bit brighter, with truer whites and better contrast.

here is the parts info for the 15" T60/p:

Thanks for the info, 200 nits isn't bad though I was hoping there was a 300 nit display like some of the Z60m models and the new displays Apple is using for the MacBook Pro.

On a side note, I had taken my Z60M out driving yesterday and tested teh effect of the sunlight on the screen. Not bad at all.
