Swapping TN screen with IPS one: HELP!
Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2011 6:09 am
I am going to take a dive and swap an IPS screen from a lesser X220i into my other X220.
1. I have expressed my concern elsewhere (http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=99779) about the low-brightness of the IPS screen and the creamy/yellowy tinge - are these the norm? the brightness seems a lot lower than my current TN and at max 15, it is the equivalent of the TN's 11-12. But at least there is no ghosting or visible bleed as some have reported.
2. Is that a straightforward physical swap? The HMM seems to suggest so - it appears the different LCD's all use the same connector (a 40-pin one?).
Pls let me have your opinion as tomorrow is a public holiday over here and I was planning the swap then, rather than be at the beach!
