Thinkpad 15" Flexview Poll - UXGA vs. SXGA+

[sb37]

Please only answer this poll if you've had experience with both panels, the LG-Philips SXGA+ panel and the BOE-Hydis UXGA panel. Please also report if you've experienced sparkling problems and/or eye soreness with your LG-Philips display or displays you have seen, and how this compares to the BOE-Hydis.

Great poll and look forward to seeing the results!

Since there are three different BOE-Hydis panels available for the T60, with two of them being UXGA, may I suggest you specify the model number for the BOE-Hydis panel your poll refers to. Is it the 13N7076 or 13N7194 UXGA panel?

Regards,

Scott Halliday

I haven't used these particular screens, but in my opinion, a UXGA screen is always better than an SXGA+ screen, simply because you get 31% more pixels. I really hope you will go for the UXGA screen, assuming you don't mind the small text.

I have used LG-Philips SXGA+ and have found it very good but BOE-Hydis never, not even heard before, can someone tell me where latter are used?

I won't answer the poll until I get my T60p with the UXGA FlexView in a few weeks' time. But I have to say that my current T60 with the SXGA+ FlexView is easily the finest laptop display I have ever used. I don't see any "sparkling" effect, and I quite often work 14+ hours a day in front of it with no discomfort.

I'm somewhat concerned that 1600x1200 on a 15" display might be too high of a resolution, and that fixed-sized elements in the UI (like the Vista taskbar and most web page controls and graphics) will be painfully small.
