Best brand of LCD panel for T410

Hi,
I have a question I'm hoping you guys can help.
I received my T410 around a year ago .... I been using T60 SXGA+ model before that and I didn't really see much of benefit from upgrading to T410, even though this model comes with i5, Nvidia GPU and so on. I got it as part of my work refresh program so not complaining. The LCD was alot brighter and clearer then the T60, which was alrady 3 years old by that time, so that was a good bonus.
Fast forward a year and the T410 has develop an issue where when you press on either side of the screen you would get a horizontal white line going through the screen .... if you don't touch the screen at all, there would be no issue with it, so I left it alone. Two weeks ago the laptop stopped working all together so I sent it for a repair under warranty and mentioned the LCD screen, hoping they would replace it with a new one which would be just like as I received it a year ago.
The laptop came back the main issue was the keyboard and they also replaced the screen. However the screen they installed as replacement is not as bright as my old one, the quality is worse, viewing angle is bad, and it has noticeably darker region at the bottom where the task bar is in the windows. Plus there is this mesh that appears when you move the screen around. I have notice this same mesh in other thinkpads (X40).
So I gave away my perfectly good screen for this crap one that actually gives me a headache as each time you look down to maximize a window you have to readjust your eye sight as that region is darker then the rest of the screen.
I called them back and told them what the issue was and they have asked me to send it back again... I did just that...
Week later I called Lenovo to check the status of the repair and the lady on the phone tells me the issue was that the brightness was down and they increased the brightness! Great as if I didn't know how to increase the brightness of the screen using the Fn+Home button. Not only they could of called me to confirm what the issue was they have totally missed my point and what the complain was about.
Well I'm going to escalate this and get new original LCD screen that came with this laptop when it was new.
What I need to know is which brand of screen is the best (I know there are LG, Sumsung and others) that we can get for this model... and they all came with different FRU numbers for WXGA+ resolution. I'm not sure which one was originally in the laptop or which brand I have in it now. So if you have tried different brands that these laptops came with please let me know and I'll insist on having that brand installed.
If you can give me the brand and the brands model that would be great.
Thanks
