That does look pretty sweet. Hopefully, it'll put some pressure on Lenovo to do the same.

The question remains when are we going to see IPS screens in ThinkPads again!

It looks as dim as my T43's panel still... (For those who don't understand this: Go into a dimly lit room and then turn your LCD brightness down. Then use a camera on a tripod to take a shot, there you go.)
