Most of the Thinkpad models now have fancier IPS screens as an option. For example, my W540 has a 2880x1620 IPS display.

- dfc 11y agoI looked at the W-series and was excited about the HW specs. I decided to stick with T-series when I saw the nvidia graphics card.
- TD-Linux 11y agoFortunately the Intel graphics are connected to all the display outputs. The nvidia card is always off for me (I unloaded the nouveau kernel module to be sure, but normally it turns off automatically when idle)
- nfriedly 11y agoYea, my ThinkPad is a W540, but since the "good" display isn't standard, mine didn't come with it.
- agumonkey 11y agoSure it was always an option, but the few companies I've seen bought batches of models with TN panels. And even TN, there are differences in quality, my x60 had one of the ugliest, the bit dithering and pixel gap was amazingly bad. Most netbooks weren't that bad. I get the low contrast for long hours of work but this was just cheap. I guess the IBM / Lenovo transition caused it.
