Enter your 4 part machine # and serial #.

IDTECH
FPU # 11P8346

Samsung
FPU # 11P8348

I'm trying to gather information as to whether the part lookup website is correct or not. I had a T41p with a bad LCD display that shows up as a Samsung LCD.

Thanks
Rays

I'm try to guage whether the part look up website is correct or not.

So do you have a bright screen? and not washed out that's typical for IDTech.

hard to say..

these were both victims of my cherry pick option..
each had one stuck on pixel and the customer paid for perfect..!

since that time i have not looked at the displays as these are for sale and sold..
well, one is sold at a deep discount and the other is still waiting for a buyer..

none of the displays i have seen are washed out..
the standard wallpaper is washed out and pallid..
ibm made an error using that colorless crap..

Cool utility! Nice find.

My T41p has ID tech, and I really like my LCD. It's bright, good contrast, and no dead or stuck pixels. Perhaps the speculation that IDTech no longer makes the 14" was due to poor quality, is unfounded.

Anyone out there got a 14" IDTech after March? If so, maybe IDTech still makes them. IDTech FRU is still listed on the April HMM, unlike my keyboard (the notorious China one), which is no longer on the HMM.

As for how accurate the thing is, it is correct for my battery, keyboard, and CD-ROM.

That would be a nice addition to the FAQ, RaysMD. Why not put it in the form of a question and send it along to G-Man so that he can include it?

My LCD is listed as Mfg part # 11P8356, but I cannot find this anywhere in the HMM.

Did searches on Google, Froogle, and Yahoo. I either get that this part # is an LCD connection cable or an XGA LCD of unspecified origin.

Samsung on my 23733vu. Bright screen, good contrast, no stuck pixels.

I've got a T42p 14" (2373-GRU) and it's listing an ID-Tech LCD, although I thought I had a Samsung. Maybe I confused it with another machine, since I've been playing around with 4 different systems. My T41 is a Samsung. Neither my T42p SXGA+ nor my T41 XGA have dead or stuck pixels. Brightness and clarity are much better on my T42p (ID Tech). However, when I compare my T42p to 15" Flexview screens, then it looks washed out and the colors look slightly blue-tinted. In Display Properties|Advanced|Color Tab, I've changed the Blue settings to .90 for gamma and -10 for brightness to bring down the blue a little, and it looks a tad better. As long as I don't stare at my screen and a Flexview side-by-side, I don't know what I'm missing. lol

I have T40 (237392U) and my LCD shows up as IDTech (11P8346).
No dead pixels, as for the brigtness - it could be better, but it's acceptable. Colors are very good, though.

That's the same display as mine Brian, machine is a 2373-8CU.

I'm quite happy with it BTW.

My T42 (2378-FVU) shows up as a Samsung LCD. Nice and bright, no dead pixels. Love it.

taphil · #13 Post by **taphil** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 2:24 pm

My Dec-03 made T41 2379-DJU has the IDTech LCD. No dead/stuck pixels, no problems with brightness or contrast.

nowstime · #14 Post by **nowstime** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 2:33 pm

Mine is 93P5571 (part #)

Which one is mine? the FRU part # says 0000000

Daniel · #15 Post by **Daniel** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 2:40 pm

My T42P (2373-KTU) is a Samsung. No dead pixels.

Daniel, I thought you opened your bezel?

jeremyas9999 · #16 Post by **jeremyas9999** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 3:34 pm

pete0r · #17 Post by **pete0r** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 3:52 pm

3VU here, it's a samsung, one dead pixel. it's on the very bottom right hand corner so i can't even tell it's there, woo.

RoadHazard · #18 Post by **RoadHazard** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 3:52 pm

IDTech on my T40p. Color is okay but the it fades out very fast when the display is tilted.

s0larian · #19 Post by **s0larian** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 3:56 pm

I have a T40p-g1g made 7/2003 in China with an IDTech LCD. Nothing to complain, no dead Pixels, contrast ok. Of course I would prefer a 14'' Flex View

K.Eng,
I suspected that we have the same LCD (terribly washed out) for quite a while. Indeed we do have the same... 11P8356....

nonny,

I just sent GMAN an email. He'll add it to the faq.

I love this utility.

I did, and my notes I have indicate that I wrote down a Samsung part number. I will pop the bezel off this weekend and take another look. Problem is that the model number is on the back so it takes a bit of work to move the antenna wires and latches aside so I can pull the lid out in order to see down the back of the LCD. Just don't have time at the moment... but I will confirm this weekend.

Daniel.

nowstime, you're not alone...
My T41 (2373AHU) comes back with Mfg#92P6689 - FRU#0000000

mdarnton · #24 Post by **mdarnton** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 9:07 pm

MFG#92P6689
FRU#0000000

Me, too. Not a single problem with my screen, though--whatever it is.

nowstime · #25 Post by **nowstime** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 12:04 am

Good to hear that I'm not alone...

BTW...no dead pixels...perfect screen...

Lateralus · #26 Post by **Lateralus** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 2:15 am

Mine is made by IDTech. Its a great display. No problems with that.

#27 Post by **K. Eng** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 8:10 am

This is starting to bother me. I apparently have a nonstandard part in my ThinkPad that does not perform very well, and most people seem to have great screens.

If my screen is open at 100-110 degrees or so this is what I see:

--------------------
|Screen ok here|
| ok |
| ok |
| |
| Washed out |
--------------------

The blue used in the IBM Americas map looks markedly different at the top than at the bottom. I can tilt the display to 120 degrees to make the bottom colors even out, but then the top starts to fade away.

T42 23733VU and i have a samsung

jonathanlee · #29 Post by **jonathanlee** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 11:17 am

I'm new to the forum (first time posting) but a long time reader. I just purchased the T42 23733UU model 3 days ago, and I'm still waiting for it to be shipped.

I had a question about the two different lcd screens. Which one of the two is a better model? The IDTech or the Samsung LCD?

Hi ! I am new in this forum (bought my first thinkpad one month ago)

My 2373-GEG T41P has still a different Mfg# and FRU :

93P5571 0000000

Does anyone know who makes this display?

The display is quite good. No dead pixel. Sharp. It perhaps could be a bit brighter, but since I chose Always Bright in the BIOS, it has ween fine with me. My only remaining complaint is that light solid colors appear as slight gradients from top to bottom, due to the varying view angle, I guess. Also, black is not very black, as there is some light passing through but you have to used dark backgrounds to be annoyed by that.

How is the Black of the Flexview? I remember being amazed by the Black of some Sonys...
