After a bad experience with a Lenovo Outlet x200s (discovered machine was used, not "redistributed", and had non-working WiFi, so had to return it), I am thinking about trying again, this time with a new x200 Tablet, CCFL-backlit. I'm inclining toward the Tablet because I've read it has a high-quality, high-contrast AFFS screen instead of the cheap TN screen in the x200. In my mid-50s, my eyesight is not what it was, so I've decided screen quality is important. I am thinking about the CCFL version because I've read complaints that the LED backlit version "blinks" at 90hz (pulse width modulation used to adjust brightness), producing severe eyestrain in some individuals.
Anyway, my question is, has anyone been able to compare the x200 Tablet screen (preferably CCFL-backlit version) to that of the Toshibe Portege A600 or A605? Are the contrast and brightness comparable or better? I ask because I have not seen the x200 Tablet, but I have had the opportunity to try a A605-P210. The keyboard of the A605 is reasonable, although not as good as the TP, but its screen is actually pretty good--better viewing angles than the x200s and a lot better contrast. It's bright, as it's LED-backlit, but apparently has a sufficiently fast PWM frequency so as not to cause eyestrain. The A605 is a bit on the flimsy side and lacks the trackpoint; but, it weighs less than the x200 Tablet and has an internal DVD. So, unless the screen of the x200 Tablet is better yet, I probably should stop with the A605.
Thanks for any info.
x200 Tablet screen vs. Toshiba A600 series screen?
Re: x200 Tablet screen vs. Toshiba A600 series screen?
My personal experience is that Thinkpad x200 tablet LCD sucks.
I don't know about Toshiba. But, I compared my x200 Multi-touch LED LCD to Apple MacBook. It's not as good as Apple's LED LCD.
BESIDES, this Multi-touch screen will get pressure damage even if you don't use it often.
