X200 Win7 update differs from System Update

#1 Post by RRHODY » Tue Sep 04, 2012 5:01 pm

If I run Lenovo Update and Drivers the response is "No packages applicable to your system were found."

If I run Win7 Updates there is 1 Optional with this report:

"Lenovo - Display - ThinkPad Display 1280x800
Download size: 28 KB
You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.
Update type: Optional
Lenovo Display software update released in April, 2012
"

Conventional wisdom from this forum has been to only take revisions from Lenovo.

Any recommendations?

I think you can also download the latest monitor driver from Lenovo's website.

But yes, updated versions are not generally listed for elder models.

However, I don't see much point updating it except to bump the revision number. It's not like that it'd increase the resolution or make the colours more accurate by installing a newer version. It's probably more to support newer models. I guess.

Cheers.
