WXGA TFT with LED Backlight or WSXGA+??

[opkei]

I may reorder a T500, buh i am still deciding which screen option is a better choice. I read some posts from other forums saying that the wsxga+ screen is crappy. I don't care about the resolution. Other than that, does it make a significant difference between those in terms of brightness? How about in terms of quality?(colour washed out, viewing angle....) can anyone provide me a detailed explaination, cuz if led is a better option, i am gonna cancel my w500 and order the t500.

is that a big difference?

15.4 WXGA TFT with LED Backlight [add $31.87]
15.4 WSXGA+ TFT [add $47.81]

that's why i am confused, the wsxga+ needs another 15 bucks for upgrade.I don't care about that 15 bucks more. I suppose wsxga+ is a better screen.
For wsxga+, is it bright enough for you to look at it under direct sunlight?

From the spreadsheet, it says they both have 129dpi and 200+ nit.
Does it mean they have the same brightness? What's dpi and nit?

On lenovo website in canada, the T500 screen options don't have "w/ CCFL Backlight", so it doesn't come with it if i order in canada?

Boy, this threw me for a loop! The US site does not offer the LED option on the 15.4" screen, but the Canadian site does. ????

Man, you're lazy, seriously.
There've been so many comments here saying that there's no difference in colors and viewing angles between CCFL and LED.
Nothing difficult to find.
DPI? www.google.com -> first search result.

It's not true that WXGA and WSXGA+ have the same DPI - it's not logical.
NIT - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nit_(unit)
You know, it has 200+.
201 = 200+
249 = 200+
The difference between 201 and 249 is huge, but the symbol's the same ...
You say that WSXGA+ is crappy, so WXGA with LED is crappy too - it's the same screen but with a different backlight.
If I had a choice - WXGA LED or WSXGA+ CCFL - I'd choose WSXGA+ without any doubts - the resolution is much more important for me than the better backlight.

hm sorry, but i don't think you're right
sure, LED backlight shouldn't influence screen quality, cause it is only a different backlight..

the WXGA and WSXGA+ are different panels
-> THERE ARE differences in quality

Yep, you're right - I was thinking about the same, but have written wrongly. What I meant:
WSXGA+ with LED or without LED has the same screen's quality (just a different backlight).
WSXGA+ with LED and the same WSXGA+ with CCFL will have the same screen quality.
And my observations say that WSXGA+ is much better than WXGA.
So if WSXGA+ CCFL is crappy, WXGA LED is crappy too.
