T60: is this guaranteed to be an IPS panel?

#1 Post by thinkpac » Thu Jun 11, 2009 1:03 pm

I am looking for a T60 laptop with an IPS screen. I saw one with the following description:

15" SXGA+ Screen (1400x1050 Max Resolution)

According to http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/TFT_display it appears to be IPS, but then again the thinkwiki page is not comprehensive, so I don't know for sure. Anyone know if that is guaranteed to be an IPS screen?

All 15" T60s with SXGA+ and UXGA resolution LCDs are IPS screens.

Thanks. So is 1400x1050 considered a UXGA resolution? I looked up UXGA and it said 1600x1200.

No, 1400x1050 is SXGA+

OK, thanks. So then this one might be IPS, but it might not.

My apologies, I didn't realize that SXGA+ and UXGA were mutually exclusive.

Now it makes sense. :)

Thank you all.

If the screen is an IBM/Lenovo FRU then it will be a flexview. If it is not (eg, if it was replaced on a budget), then it could be anything.
