Question: T400 LED Screen Resolution Limited to WXGA?

Lenovo's website (US) is now only showing the following screen options for the T400:
14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ CCFL Backlight, Camera
14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/ CCFL Backlight, Camera [add $30.00]
14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ LED Backlight, Camera [add $50.00]
14.1 WXGA TFT High Nit, w/ LED Backlight [add $120.00]
14.1 WXGA TFT High Nit, w/ LED Backlight, Camera [add $150.00]
Does anyone know why the LED screen is limited to WXGA and not WXGA+?
I'm looking to replace my T40p, and I'm not willing to go down in screen resolution.
Thanks,

There are 14.1 WXGA+ LED models available right now. Check the ThinkPad Reference (tabook) and search. That option is just apparently not available in CTO (Custom To Order) systems from the Lenovo Store at the moment.
This brings up the question: How can you order a pre-configured ThinkPad like those listed in tabook? Do you have to buy from a reseller? Why can't you order one from the online Lenovo Store? (Maybe you can, but it's not obvious to me how to do it, at least for the U.S. online store...)

T400 LED screen flickeringly

this is a routine check, i just want to make sure it is your hardware that is having the problem and not some peripheral parts that is giving the problem.
In any case, i think it is a LCD related issue. Do you have warranty still? Flickering issue is related to the LED backlight that is used in your LCD.

T400 LED screen uneven lighting

Overall i am very impressed with my new t400, however my screen has a dimmer portion in the right side. It is mainly the bottom half of the very rightside (1/2 cm), it is slight but noticeable. i think there may be a LED that is defective on that side. Is there anyway i can get some sort of compensation for the defect.
I would send it back, but i always hear stories of laptops coming back with more problems or scratches and other defects.
If i can't get some sort of credit i would rather just keep it.
has anyone been successful in getting credit from lenovo?
(or can any of the admin's give insight)

I dont know why has this become a trend with the T400s. I received a bad screen, the replacement screen was also bad. I'm returning the machine to lenovo if i'm not being compensated. Did you talk to the CS? What did they say?

A60: Question about other screen resolutions

Hi,
I'm using a sattelite A60 with Ati Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP display adapter.
I thinking about buying a 24 inch external LCD screen with resolution: 1920*1200
According to the user's manual the maximum resolution is 2048*1536 but the widescreen resolutions are not listed at all in the table.
Does this screen work at my notebook?
Thanks!
Willem

Hi
Unfortunately Im not familiar with the 24 displays but like Quad said you can test you notebook on this LSD display. But usually you can use different display resolutions and you dont have to use the max display resolution.

VM Workstation 11: trouble screen resolution Windows 2012

Hi all,
I've just installed Workstation 11 and I'm experiencing a problem I find very annoying and slightly odd ..
I'm running VMware on a Windows 8.1 host pc with very high screen resolution (3200 x 1800) which is a pain in general.
However. My virtual Windows 2008 R2 servers all work nicely in VM Workstation 11, running on 3200x1800
and I can even use the convenient Autofit Guest function without much problems.
The odd thing is .. my virtual Windows 2012 R2 server is not playing along at all.
It only seems to support screen resolutions up to 2560x1600 and worse, it doesn't take Autofit at all.
Meaning it will result in a totally black screen, after which I have to use Center Guest to get it back
and then manually set all my 2008 R2 to high resolution again. (In 2 steps coz of the 800x600 it starts in)
I'm surprised, as 2012 is much more recent than 2008, so if one would expect anything like this, it would rather be the opposite?
I have upgraded my virtual hardware on the 2012 R2 to Workstation 11 but to no avail.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Could it be Workstation, or Microsoft ?
(I have found no info on screen resolution limitations in 2012 R2)
Thanks a lot for your replies!

T400 question: get 2765T6U or pay more for LED screen & misc

Hello,
I'm planning to buy the T400 but got a quick question for you guys. I found the T400 2765T6U at Provantage for about $1200.
Unfortunately, this model only comes with a CCFL screen and a few missing features (multiple card reader for example). I then went to Lenovo and configured the Enhanced T400 model with the features I wanted and ended up with $1400 (after a 10% off coupon).
Do you guys think it's worth it paying $200 for the LED screen, a slightly faster CPU, a bigger HD (though slower), and a 7-1 reader? All the other features are exactly the same as the 2765T6U.
Thanks in advance!!

You could try this model: 2765-33U
http://www.provantage.com/lenovo-276533u~7LENO10Y.htm
It is like the 2765-T6U but it has LED WXGA+ screen and 9 cell battery.
The only problem is that it is a "special order" so you may have to wait longer for it to ship (as they do not have it ready in inventory).
Try looking at the tabook.pdf for more models. To get tabook, just google "tabook" and download the .pdf from the IBM website.

Low screen resolution on my T400.

Maximum screen resolution on my new ThinkPad T400 with discrete graphics(windows 7 home premium) is only 1280x800, I was expecting it to to more higher.
Please advice on what to do.
ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 with 256MB
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

IIRC, the choices were 1280x800 (WXGA) or 1440x900 (WXGA+ as mine is). W/ the CTO models you had to pick one when specifying the system.

Screen resolution is limited to 1280 x 720

Hello.
I just got my new iMac 27 3.2 Mhz
The screen resolution is limited to 1280 x 720.
I reinitialized the PR Ram without success.
No other option is displayed in the preferences. someone has already this problem ?

Before taking the Mac to an Apple Store, you could call AppleCare who may be able to offer a solution, or organise an exchange of machine, that would hopefully save you the trouble of carting it around.

Screen resolution problem - HP computer and LED Cinema Display

I just purchased an HP Envy Phoenix H9-1330 with Windows 8, and I connected it to my 27" Mac LED Cinema Display, but the resolution is horrible. The highest option in the screen resolution menu is 1280 x 720, and I'm getting the error message "Your resolution is lower than 1024 x 768. Some items might not fit and apps might not open". How do I fix this? What kind of issue is this (Windows 8? Graphics card? HP can't support my monitor? etc...)?
I just bought another brand new computer, but not an HP, with Windows 8 and I have no problems with the resolution - it looks absolutely beautiful. I want to use my monitor with my HP desktop though.
Thanks for any help

Still haven't figured it out....
BUT I did notice that, on the back of the computer, there are 2 additional DVI connections that are covered with a black cover and screwed in (and they say 'please do not remove'.... I'm asuming it's because they aren't connected to anything? Or maybe they aren't connected to the graphics card?). Is it possible that just my DVI connection is wrong, and I'll need to connect to one of these covered-up DVI inputs instead? But why are they covered up? Do I need to take it in so they can be connected to the graphics card?? Help! I don't want to return this computer, but I will have to if I can't get the resolution fixed.

2011 MBP having limited screen resolution in Bootcamp

Hi All,
Running Bootcamp 4.0 with Win7. Bootcamp software is installed, drivers seem to be in place.
The screen has a limited resolution though, not the full 1440 x900 that it should have. Clicking on screen resolution only shows the one option for resolution.
Any thoughts?
A few other data points, loaded the bootcamp partion up in Parallels and I get the full resolution experience.

That's odd. Which model are you running? 13", 15", or 17"?
It's entirely possible that the Intel (13") or AMD (15"/17") video driver might not have installed properly. Check the Device Manager (Start > right-click Computer > Manage, then click Device Manager at left of the resulting window). If under Display Adapters you see "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter", or a "Video Controller" under Other Devices, then this may be your issue.
Running Boot Camp Setup a second time should fix this, but it's also possible that the driver CD did not burn properly and therefore the folders that contain drivers might be corrupted enough so as not to have been read during Setup. In this case, your best bet is to burn the CD again--to a known-good CD-R.

T400: Screen resolution is mixed-up

I'm using a 2765-21G ThinkPad T400, with Microsoft Vista Business as the OS. I'm using the highest screen resolution, which was native to the PC when I bought it (although I did change the DPI from the default 96 to 106).
Since the PC downloaded the latest batch of Windows updates the other day, certain applications (e.g. Skype, BBC iPlayer download manager, etc.) - as well as Windows message boxes and the ThinkVantage menu - seem to appear at a lower resolution, with a soft/fuzzy appearance to the writing and graphics. This is the case even though everything else remains at its normal, sharp resolution.
It's not the biggest problem in the world, and if I hadn't just paid full-whack on a premium laptop I might just let it slide. But as it is, I'd quite like to find a solution. Anyone got any ideas?

disable your all startup messengers,like yahoo msn google skype and all. may be display driver is get clash with other program..i got this kind of issue in my laptop. use msconfig to disable startup programs.

Satellite M110 - question on Screen resolution 1600 x 900

Hi experts, hoping you can help me out.
Just bought an external screen which needs 1600 x 900 screen resolution,.... trouble is my display settings don't have that option.
If I "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" I can only choose 800x600 or 1024x768
If I uncheck this box "hide...display", the nearest I can choose are 1280x1024 or 1600x1200
Where is the 1600 x 900 option??? everything on the external screen is sttrreettched out.....
I have
- Satellite M110 PSMB0A
- Windows XP
- Display adapter says "Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family"
- I've downloaded the latest driver, (at least I think I did!) and my driver version is 6.14.10.4543 dated 23/03/06
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
There are two reasons why a favorite resolution is not available.
1) the graphic card driver does not support such resolution
2) or/and the graphic card doesnt support it too.
In the user manual of Satellite M110 you should find a info (somewhere at the end of user manual) what resolutions are supported and available.
If the graphic card would support such resolution then this would mean that your installed driver is the reason why you cannot choose this resolution.
In such case its advisable to update the driver and to use the one from the Intel page.
The graphic chip is Intel one and therefore the driver from Intel page should work.
In some cases you would be not able to install the driver executing the setup.exe.
In such case you have to go to the device manger and have to use the advanced installation procedure. Then you could point to the driver package which you have downloaded previously from Intel page.

15" MPB LED screen question

Do ALL new 15" MBP's come with the LED screen?

No regrets on the 17". No high-res option available when I purchased, but after seeing one I wouldn't have gone high res anyway (not glossy either). Like the desktop real estate of the 17" vs. the 15", text on the high res is too small for my comfort. My screen is bright enough for me to use outdoors.

If I run "xorgconfig" and after that "nvidia-xconfig", my screen resolution is 1024x860, but after changed very mode to my native resolution ("1440x900"), is changes to "800x600".

Use an older driver or the vga-port instead.
There are maybe some hacks, but I tried many times in vista and linux. And it's always the same, only 1280x1024.
did some googling:

ThinkPad T500 Screen Resolution Issues

Dear All,
Wonder if anybody can provide any advise on the following issue(s):
Just bought a T500 Centrino vpro, running on XP professional, 15" screen. Really happy with it, its fast and all. However, there seem to be only a few screen resolution options available. On my old Acer Travelmate, I used to have a 1024x600 which suited my myopia just fine. The closest setting to this one seems to be the 1024X768 but it is not great 'cos items appear a tad out of focus.
I understand the T500 i just bought was built to accommodate Vista (as a side note, a Vista Business tag with serial number can be found at the back of my laptop although the machine came with XP pro preinstalled..This leads me to my other question: What happened to my Vista?) and this perhaps explains the limited resolution options available and the fact that apart from the native setting all other resolutions available are not optimal.
Many thanks in advance.

There are several methods to increase the font sizes on your screen:
1) right click on desktop.
2) select personalize
3) select adjust font size (DPI) under the task list on the left
4) select the larger font size that is available.
Sometimes there are fonts that are just too small to read on the web browser.
Hold down your Ctrl key and use the mouse scroll button to increase the font size.
Alternatively Press the blue Fn button on the keyboard and then press the Space bar.
