T420 with NVIDIA + 1366x768 display?

#1 Post by TrailRunner » Thu Sep 08, 2011 9:36 pm

Anyone know if its possible to order the T420 or T420S with the 14.0" HD (1366 x 768) LED Backlit Anti-Glare Display and NVIDIA NVS 4200M Graphics with Optimus Technology?

I want the boost in graphics for gaming but need the lower res so I can work without wearing glasses.

I believe you can configure the T420 to have the nvidia 4200 and WXGA, but not the T420s, which only comes with the WXGA+ LCD.

Why not just buy the higher resolution screen and set it to lower res when working?

Because it will be blurry. You'd be better off bumping up the DPI, which well in Windows 7.
