I know there is an official T42 thread, but I posted there and did not get a reply. Need information ASAP!!
I have been considering a 15" T42 with 1400X1050 SXGA+ Flexview and 64MB 9600 card, and I have questions ONLY about the Flexview display. This is the SXGA+ I am considering, not the UXGA screen.
1.) There have been discussions on another forum about the Flexview being a VERY slow display, with response times listed (from the screen manufacturer) of 60ms and higher, and reports of ghosting doing anything from viewing DVD movies to gaming. Is this truly a very slow display, and will I see ghosting??? Is it truly slower than most manufacturers LCD notebook screens???
If there is ghosing, will it be easily noticable in day-to-day use. I am not a heavy gamer.
2.) Also, is the Flexview anything like the SONY XBrite display??? I do not like the SONY because it is very reflective, in fact, you can see yourself reflected in the screen depending on the lighting.
I would MORE than appreciate any honest answers to these two questions. Several people have told me to order a Thinkpad, and return it if I am not happy with it, but that is the last thing I would like to do.
Thanks,
