Need a better resolution for my lenovo t500 laptop

#1 Post by viorel2008 » Wed Aug 19, 2009 11:55 am

Hi,
Just bought a brand new Lenovo laptop.
Need a better resolution for my lenovo T500 -20892KU, 15.4" WXGA (1280 x 800).
Any idea how I can improve the resolution.
Thanks,

Neil

Welcome to the forum!

You know, LCD panels have a fixed resolution, right? So there is nothing you can do to change the actual resolution of the panel. What would be a better resolution for you?
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

I will prefer 1600x1200 or at least 1440x900.

Well...I have an A31P for sale in the Marketplace that has a 1600x1200 resolution FlexView panel.

Or, maybe you could return your T500, and buy one with a 1440x900 or a 15.4” WSXGA+ (1680 X 1050) panel.

I will prefer to buy a brand new LCD from a computer store in Toronto.

Attempting to replace the LCD yourself will void your warranty.
