I used to love Thinkpads until I started using laptops with displays that aren't dog shit.
I can adapt to a bad keyboard, lack of trackpoint and bad touchpad, but a bad screen will always bother me.
- smoldesu 4y agoThis is especially a problem on the older models. Some Thinkpads are really excellent machines besides their unfortunate 720p, TN panels. Admittedly though, Lenovo seemed to get their act together on later laptops. My T460s has a matte 1080p display with 90%+ DCI P3 coverage, which is pretty good for a $300 used laptop.
- opan 4y agoOn the T440p you can swap in a screen from a Razer Blade. There are probably similar things you can do to other models.
- nathanasmith 4y agoI ordered a 1080p screen and controller from Aliexpress for my trusty old Lenovo T420. Installed in about 30 minutes and worked perfectly. The difference in image quality versus the original crap panel is huge.
