T400 (7417-PCU) Screen - LED or LED High Nit?

[Replytoken]

I am looking at purchasing this configuration T400, but was not clear about the screen. The Tab Book states the screen is LED and that it has a brightness level of 680 Nits. I know that this is the brightness level of the "High Nit" screen, but was not certain if this configuration comes with the "High Nit" LED screen or just the regular LED screen. Can anybody help clarify what I should expect in this configuration?

Thanks,

If the tabook says it's 680 nits then logically it has to be the high nit screen. The standard LEDs are 250 nits I believe.

I, too, would normally follow the same path of logic, but the tabook seemed to be incorrect on the maximum RAM that the R400 could hold (it lists 4GB as discussed in another post I authored), and it did not mention the standard LED screen for any of the 7417 T400's. I am beginning to think that the tabook is not quite as sacred as I would like it to be.

Well, I ordered it today so we'll see what screen it was actually shipped with.

Well, I received my T400 last night, and I am led to believe that the Tabook was incorrect. Using up my serial number to find the part and FRU numbers for my machine at Lenovo, I entered the numbers at thinkwiki.org. They seem to believe that I have an LG LED backlit panel - LP141WX5-TLP2. Its a step up from my Z60t's panel, and its appears fine, but it is nothing exceptional. The Seagate 7200.3 drive, however, is quite nice.
