Trying to decide which one to use on the X61t I want to keep.

Initially, I thought it'd be nice to use the single-touch screen, but using it is such a far cry from any current touchscreen that it makes me think it makes no sense to keep.
Pretty impossible to trigger it without using the fingernail, and even then you have to apply a decent bit of pressure.
Unless you use it in tablet mode you'd just be pushing your screen backwards.

Compared to the regular one, it also seems the colors are a bit more desaturated.
Greys are also strangely off.

I thought about potentially buying a new screen, but I'm unsure I want to make that investment right now.
Does anyone have experience with a Samsung LTN121XP01 Multitouch or something similar? Are they considerably better in terms of touch capability and/or colors?

Attaching a couple images below, left is the touchscreen, right is the regular one.
Curious for some opinions, should I just keep the regular one, or do you guys have some use cases or reasons for keeping the touchscreen?

The regular one has better colors. Is that the Boe-Hydis screen? Keep it.

Then give me the other one.

Not sure what kind of screen it is, is there any way I can tell without opening it?
Otherwise I'll get back to you once I finished the swap

On Linux I use read-edid and edid-decode to read the LCD panel's EDID, but there should be a similar way on Windows, perhaps through AIDA64.
