Good day ladies and gentlemen
Yesterday I purchased a t430 and it came with a HD+ screen. I noticed that the screen has a slight screen door effect. It's noticeable at a certain distance.
HWinfo identified my display panel:
Monitor Name: Lenovo B140R102 V1
Monitor Name (Manuf): LP140WD2-TLD2
If I would replace the screen, how much more improvement can I get out of it? I really get annoyed by the slight screen door effect. The current panel is a LG panel.
How are the samsung panels and the auo panels? Which T430 HD+ panel is the best panel?
Could someone please give me the model numbers of those panels?

Re: T430 replacement screen without screen door effect
What you have is the LG Philips panel. From what I've gathered regarding T430 HD+ screens, the LG appears to be better than the Samsung, and the Samsung better than the AUO (AU Optronics). Of course, every person perceives (and judges) differently.
I doubt that you would feel significantly better by replacing the screen. Instead, it may be helpful to adjust gamma to 0.9 and contrast to 55%: the screen may appear less dull and colors more vivid.

Welcome to the forum. I have a T420 with an AUO LCD. You likely have much less of the screen door effect than I do. You, sad to say, already won the 'lottery' with the LCD that you have...
