x201t WXGA 200 nits basic display

[blueneonboy]

Hello guys!
I was thinking of getting a x201 tablet pc. In most topics and reviews I found discussions Multitouch VS. Outdoor Superbright displays on x201t. It seems nobody is even thinking of getting a x201t with basic 200 nits display.
So, my question would be - is the basic (cheapest) display that bad?? Does anyone have that one? What are the cons/pros?
As being an architect, I was planning to use my new x201t for some design sketching indoor as well as outdoor.
Since the Superbright outdoor model is no longer available at lenovo.com, should I wait for it or go for some of these currently available?
If somebody owns a x201t with basic 200nits display I would appreciate to hear any comments... I wouldn't like to give extra $247 for a multitouch option (especially cause I don't need it) if the basic 200 nits screen bright enough.
Thanks in advance!

Then you should get the outdoor display in my opinion. The standard display is just not bright enough to be used in direct sunlight, though it'll work in the shade. If you can't get a X201t via normal channels, perhaps you can find a X200t or X201t from an ebay seller willing to ship to Serbia.

As for the screens, there's two standard displays - a Samsung PVA and a Hydis AFFS with the Hydis being the better of the two. It's sort of a lottery as to what you'll get.

If none of that works, Fujitsu makes some tablets with optional outdoor displays as well - the T730 and the T900.

Hey, thanks for the reply!
I am buying it in USA, so shipment will not be a problem..
The other thing I wanted to ask: which display is better for outdoor use - basic 200nits or the multitouch one. I could read that multitouch has a special layer which is quite reflexive... So, I guess the basic would be better if I don't need the multitouch option?

The multi-touch is a brighter than the standard display, which should help some outdoors. The touch capacity adds a layer to the screen and does effect picture quality, giving it a bit of a more grainy look.

Thanks again for the quick answer! I think I'm gonna wait for the Superbright one..
