Faint Ghosting on X220 IPS screen

ADMIN EDIT:
There are two items being discussed in this thread:
1) A backlight bleed issue as described by SR45 - we are investigating this, but have seen only a couple users noting this so far.
2) "Ghosting" or persistence of an after-image phenomena after a static image is maintained on the display for 15 or more. This comprises the bulk of the discussion on this thread.
Not all customers have observed this, nor view it as an "issue". See related thread with counter point.
I've already posted on the notebookreview forum and thought I would also leave a message here as well to cover all forums to get some more feed back.
I have tested this out a few times now, and I get a faint burn in (ghosting) when using a dark background and even a light blue backgrounds when rebooting the system immediately after downloading and installing some software. When this was first noticed, I just booted up to IE 9 and the google page with my favorite sites on the extreme left side for about a minute, than I rebooted the system. During the boot up, I could see the faint outline of the task bar at the bottom, the favorites vertical line that seperates the favorites from the main google page.
One or more members with the X220 on the notebookreview forum have noticed the same thing, and wonder if anyone else has seen this as well. Trying to figure out if this is wide spreed or just a few bad panels.
Thank you
One picture of the vertical line is posted on the link below.

ThinkPad X220 i7 | 8 Gb ram | 320 Gb Hdd 7200 rpm | 6 Cell

I have the exact same problem. I noticed that I was getting this pseudo burn-in (and also quite a lot of backlight bleed). I returned my x220 and ordered a new one, same configuration. The new one just came, and it has the same ghosting problem as the first. Note that the ghosting does not take hours to occur: all I need to do is leave my web browser open for about fifteen minutes and then switch to another screen with dark background, and the UI elements will appear faintly burned into the screen, all over whatever text I'm processing (I use a text editor with a dark background, for programming). This is totally unacceptable, and I'm very disappointed. At this point, I don't know what to do: I've tired both linux and windows, and returning the laptop for a new one. It seems like I am going to have to return this second one too, and I don't think I am going to try and get a third laptop. This is very disappointing, because the rest of the compter is very nice.
Has anyone NOT had this problem with the IPS displays on the x220? Has anyone had this problem and fixed it? Can someone from lenovo please comment? More than anything, I want to be able to own this laptop and like it, but I can't when I've been convinced that the "premium" display has consistent defects.

Looking for a List of GT72 with IPS screen

hi guys !
I'm looking to buy a GT72 with a 970M or 980M , but my main focus is on the screen . i really want a IPS screen with my GT 72 , and i know that there is a few which got one.
when i look on website a lot of information are missing and i'm never sure if there is actually a IPS screen or not.
My budget is like between 1.7k€ and 1.9k€ so if someone could make a list of GT72 with IPS screen in this price average it would be nice
sorry for my bad english
thanks

Hi Ann Thanks for that. I did come across that list too. There is a wiki site started also that has bugn to show how each works too. That's what I'd love to create for the entire list with a thumbnail as a visual When I have time!

Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

Hi, Derek -
...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

Full-Screen Mode: Cannot switch to full-screen mode

hi. i tried to run the DisplayModeTest.java file in the Full-Screen Mode Tutorial, and i got this exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Could not get display mode
   at sun.awt.Win32GraphicsDevice.getCurrentDisplayMode(Native Method)
   at sun.awt.Win32GraphicsDevice.getDisplayMode(Win32GraphicsDevice.java:330)
   at DisplayModeTest.<init>(DisplayModeTest.java:117)
   at DisplayModeTest.main(DisplayModeTest:237)and for all other programs that try to switch to full-screen mode i get similar ones (although isFullScreenSupported() returns true). any ideas why this error is thrown and how to fix this?
i use a j2se 1.4.1_03 on a win2k machine (single-monitor, single-processor, etc... nothing fancy).
thanks,
__blackwolf__

the solution was to use WinXP :) more seriously, i got an email from a Java developer yesterday and he told me that there is a bug they have to fix, and for now it won't work if you dont have DirectX (>= 8.1 ?), full-hardware acceleration (for the video card) and who knows, maybe some other requirements. try running the program with
java -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true <class>this makes Java avoid using DDraw -- should make the program slower, but runnable...
i have another problem though: cannot run it on a RedHat Linux 9. apparently, isFullScreenSupported() returns false, but this is bullshit, because i have other (non-Java) programs that use exclusive full-screen mode (mplayer, for example). anyone knows how to make it work? thanks.

Switch off Mac screen while streaming video on apple tv

Hello!
I have a question. Is it possible to switch of the MacBook screen (e.g. closing the MacBook) and watch a video (movie) via apple TV?
Right now I use airplay, start the VCL Player and if I than switch of the screen of the macbook it automaticly turns off the apple TV too!
Thanks for the help!

Found this discussion regarding the topic, with a pic included. No solution found there either.... http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=18563517#post18563517

I have a MacBook Air, it automatically minimises and switches from the screen I am in for some reason ?

This problem is often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you first check for an update. If that doesn't solve the problem, remove it according to the developer's instructions. You may need to boot in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to "show status icons." According to reports, that may be enough to stop the Finder from crashing.

HT201406 when ipod is switched on the screen shows a usb cable symbol and itunes symbol, why is this

when ipod is switched on the screen shows a usb cable symbol and itunes symbol, and it wont let me switch it on even though it is fully charged up, why is this?

It is either an erased iPod or an iPod that has a problem. The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer via the USB cable and restore via iTunes. For how to restore see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software

Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
Any way to fix it?

only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.

Is there a way to get the bookmarks toolbar to display when switching to full screen on a Mac?

When switching to full screen mode in Firefox 9 the bookmarks toolbar goes away. I can't find any view setting to keep it displayed. Is there a way?

Maybe use the Bookmarks sidebar instead (Command+B).
You can also add code to userChrome.css below the default @namespace line to display the Bookmarks Toolbar when you hover to the top of the window to unhide the toolbars and tab bar.<br />
I don't know if that works on a Mac.

I have a tiny problem that is driving me mad. When I am playing an album in iTunes using cover flow view (with the playlist beneath the artwork picture) the picture is exactly above the album title. All is symmetrical. When I switch to full screen display, the artwork moves a couple of inches to the left and the display is therefore asymmetrical. Why and how do I correct it? It would drive you mad to.
Thanks for any help,
Graham

I was having the same problem, but tried the "Top Button + Home Button" reset and that did work for me. My unofficial guess is that perhaps RAM caches get filled through daily use of various apps leaving no memory for cover flow. Resetting the phone on the phone itself seems to reset that RAM. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it solved my issue. Hope this helps.

Trying to find out if X220 with model number 42875TU have the IPS screens

Hi, I'm trying to find out if X220's with Model Part Numbers of 4287-5TU have the IPS screens? I cant find the model through the Lenovo model search. Thanks for the help.

Hi
I can't explain why partslookup service by MTM doesn't show your laptop parts. Though support site contains its short specification.
Try to get parts list by laptop serial number if you know that one:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/partslookup
You'll find the panel p/n and its description.

Gradient banding on X220 IPS screen

Over on the Faint Ghosting on X220 IPS screen thread, I mentioned (twice, actually) that I see gradient banding on my X220 IPS screen. Nobody else has brought up this issue, and at the moment it seems that I may have a defective screen.
Here's a test image to check for gradient banding: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gradient.php. View and compare how it looks on other laptop and desktop monitors. Gradients appear smooth on my desktop PC (Dell monitor and low end Radeon card) and MacBook Pro, but banding is easily visible on my X220 with IPS screen. I even see faint banding when I view this forum, the subtle gradient background at the top of each post. My display is set to 32 bit color and 60 Hz refresh.
I'll take it up with Lenovo support. Meanwhile, anybody else who has the issue can post and discuss here.

I have the exact same problem.
When there is a gradient (like on the login screen, or the webpage linked earlier) I can see the image moving for a couple of seconds. This kind of behavior from the screen also makes my eyes painful after a while.
I love this laptop otherwise, but this is a terrible quality issue. I tried to explain my problem to lenovo with no luck.
Anyway, from what I read here, it's common to most x220, what can I do.
If at least lenovo was helpful. Or if they could let me return the laptop without the absurd 15% restocking fee...
Edit: Alright, found by myself after a couple of hours searching: The moving bands when the display is "adjusting" to the new picture is in part due to Intel's power saving tech "Intel Display Power Saving Technology" which can be disabled in intel's control panel. It causes flickering of the screen in general, but mostly gradients.
For those wondering, yes, it does save some power. The computer idling with this feature uses 10 watts. Without it's 11. I don't know how it'll affect battery life, but if I really need longer battery life, I'll turn the brightness down myself.
I still notice some flickering, I'll see how it goes. The banding, while now static, is still clearly visible though.
Maybe someday they'll learn LG is not good at IPS screens (see the ipad2 fiasco too)
