Screen upgrade on T500

#1 Post by Tomy B. » Sun Nov 16, 2014 6:41 am

Hi,

I have T500 with WSGXA+ and because I work in tower with 3m 360° windows I need suggestions for much brighter screen.

It's not problem for me to change only panel, did it few times, it can be used screen or new, minimum WSXGA+ resolution, would be nice to have IPS with 400 nits. :mrgreen:

Thanks for suggestions!

Two ways you can go about this from what I know:

a) T500 was shipped with a LED WXGA LCD as an option. If you're willing to give up the resolution aspect, that screen is likely as bright as it gets.

b) There's a Sharp WUXGA panel that some of the Dells were shipped with - can't remember the model number off the top of my head - and while it's CCFL-lit it sports 250 nits when new, and would likely be your best overall option since quite a few people have installed these and love them...

Happy upgrading.

Anyone other with any other suggestion?

Thank you very much ajkula66, but 250 nits isn't good enough for my new working place.
