X200s - 50Hz interlaced display mode only... What a headache!

Bought X200s (1440x900 resolution) recently.
Have found it to be very bad for my eyes.
I've used to work on my aforetime Quanta for hours w/o any problems.
Now with X200s I do have blearing eyes and headache very soon.
Investigating the problem I've found that the best (and the only) display resolution possible is 50Hz.
Moreover, only interlaced display mode is possible, even with native resolution!
So the best mode we have with the newest X200s is 50Hz interlaced...
Well, I've seen such LCD monitors when I was young (that was ages ago)...
But now???
I wonder if there is any other notebook (either netBook) on the market now with maximum refresh rate less then 60Hz?
No fear!
I'm definitely sure that Lenovo should recall this piteous product ASAP.

I do not compare CRT to LCD at all.
To be more clear:
1. All modern LCD screens (including all laptop screens currently on market) hold at least 60Hz refresh rate/non-interlaced mode.
2. Whereas cheap laptop LCDs work usually at not more then 60Hz, good screens possess 75Hz and sometimes 90Hz rates.
3. Only very old LCD screens (10+ years ago) had 50Hz of refresh rate maximum and could work utilising interlaced modes only.
4. The common notion states that any good LCD (not CRT) screen must render 60Hz refresh rate at least.
On smaller CRT monitors (~<14 inches) few people notice any discomfort below 60–72 Hz. On larger CRT monitors (~>17 inches) most people would experience mild discomfort unless the refresh is set to a more comfortable 85 Hz or higher. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate)
Some major manufactures consider 60Hz to be unsufficient, offering 75Hz-capable laptop screens.
5. Low refresh rate setting affects the LCD’s performance (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22119?viewlocale=en_US etc. etc.).
So, am I wrong? Or is the market wrong?
Are there any other laptops with 50Hz (interlaced) maximum refresh rate I'm not aware of?
I doubt if any.
Back on topic: with new X200s (1440x900), I have 90Hz (non-interlaced) on external 17" 1280x1024 Sony LCD monitor, and up to 100Hz on external 20" NEC LCD monitor (any resolution).
Both have a great picture.
50Hz interlaced is definitely the laptop screen limitation, not of the Intel 4 Series Express graphic adapter.
I've tried the older X200s (1280x800), which runs at 60Hz non-interlaced and does have a good stable picture.
Did Lenovo accomplish a product invention, or there is a sales pitch of cheap screens below standards?
BTW, in some countries LCD screens with refresh rates below 60Hz are prohibited by public health regulations.

  • Requirement is OB52 should be in display mode only

    Dear Experts,
    In sap users profile sap_new is required but OB52 should be in come in display mode only on PRD system, How can I provide the t-code OB52 for Disply only.
    Regards,
    TVS

    Hi,
    If SAP_NEW given to any one,then we can't change it to display mode.OB52 is purely depend on type of
    System.In PROD system it will come in change mode only.Where as in other Boxes like DEV/QAS,OB52 will be accessible depend on Client state(SCC4).
    So I guess it is not possible in PROD box after giving SAP_NEW.

  • Depriciation key and useful life periods in asset master should in display mode only

    Hi all
    At the time of creation asset master AS01 we are given the Asset class, company code and similar of asset (1) then we click enter button we will get Create asset: master data screen here in general tab we enter the description and in time dependent tab we enter cost center manually
    But
    When we click on Depreciation tab here the  Depreciation key and use life fields are automatically come with Dep.key(ABC) and use life(15) (Because we maintained in OAYZ)
    Here user have a chance to change the Dep.key(ABC) and use life(15).so my requirement is these two fields are display with only display mode .
    User don’t have chance to modify this.

    Hi Anil,
    The screen layout for Asset and its depreciation tab are different. You have to make these fields as Display only in the screen layout. This can be done using T-Code AO21. Below are the screenshots for the path and screen layout for your reference. This should solve your issue

  • How to display form in display mode only

    Dear firends...
         My BSP applications's page which is form actually is opend in change mode by default, I want to initialize this page in display mode as default. please help me to know how could carry out this task. Any suggestion, code, article will be great help of mine.
    thanking you,

    I think you mean HTMLB textEdit. Is that right ?
    If it's the case, you have the <i>disabled</i> attribute to set to 'TRUE' in order to prevent any input by the user.
    Here is the example adapted from SBSPEXT_HTMLB, page TextEdit.bsp
    <htmlb:textEdit  id       = "txtEdit"
                     text     = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
                     disabled = "true" />

  • BASIS- Give display rights only to FBCJ(Cash journal) Tcode

    Hi,
    I want to restrict transaction FBCJ(Cash journal) in display mode only.
    I created a test role and added only FBCJ Tcode.
    At object level (F_FBCJ), I maintained as below
    Activity 33(Read)
    Authorization Group * (only * selection is posible)
    When this role is attached to a user( he has only this role), he is still able to change and save cash journal.
    What to do to give display access only ?
    Thanks in advance
    AshrafKT

    I know it s an old post, but for future references here is the answer.
    If you need only display, transaction FBCJ3 can be use.
    If other activities are needed then FBCJ needs to be used, but in order for the object F_FBCJ to work, the authorization group should be set in every journal.
    The authorization group can be set using the transaction FBCJC0.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards, Jose.

  • Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the new MacBook Pro retina in an extended display mode?

    Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the MacBook Pro retina display in an extended display mode? What is the output resolution and is sound also transmitted across?

    SB1983, by extended display do you mean mirror?  All MBP since early 2011 support it if they are running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  The resolution will depend on your Apple TV (2 Gen is 720 and 3rd Gen 1080) and wifi, it will lose some quality but I find it minimal.  It does also mirror the sound.

    Go to SPRO --> Financial Accounting --> Financial Accounting (New) --> Document --> Rules for changing document --> Document Changes Rules, line item.
    In that go to field name BSEG-ZFBDT for account type D (customers), K (Vendors), etc as required. Double click on that field name and remove the tick "Field can be changed"

  • Conditions Tab to be in display mode

    Dear Friends,
    There is a unique requirement I have come across where the Conditions Tab in the Sales Order and the Billing Document should be in display mode only and that too only for 2 scenarios. The reason I cannot go to the Condition Type and make the necessary settings is that, the same Condition Types are commonly used in the Pricing Procedure of other scenarios. So, if I make the changes in one condition Type, it will affect the other Pricing Procedure.
    I cannot copy the Condition Types in Pricing Procedure and replace the existing ones because the BI reports will be afftected.
    Kindly suggest a solution where even in create mode of the Sales Order or Billing Document, the Conditions Tab is in display mode.
    Regards
    Vineet Jain

    Hi Anil,
    Please refer to OSS notes:
    105621 - Authorization check for the condition screen - you can use following user-exit includes for changing the condition tab to display only:
    USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION
    USEREXIT_PRICING_CHECK
    USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFIC_LEER
    USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFIC_KZWI
    USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFIC_KOPF
    1165078 - Authorization check for conditions or subtotals - from ECC6.0 EHP4 there is a dedicated BAdI for authorization check, however if the user is not aurhorized to change the conditions, the conditions are not visible for the user as well.

    Marcin

  • Display Mode - Module Pool

    Hi Friends,
    Need help in Module Pool,
    when button click want to display screen in Display Mode only.....

    Hi Sharavan,
    I hope you want to achieve the Toggle Display Functionality. To achieve this you have perform this following steps:
    1. Define the names Properly for each of the individual Screen Elements. Like for Button you can do BTN_01.. etc etc...
    2. In the PBO Module define a Module like MODULE screen_settings. In this you will run the following code:
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF SCREEN-NAME = 'BTN_01'.
            SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
            MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    For a group of BTNs or Text Elements you can form a GROUP and can Enable and Disable all at once.
    3. The Next step is the handling of the Table Control.In the PBO event there you will have the LOOPing the Table control.
    There inside the loop place a Module and enable and disable each and individual rows.
    You must keep a central Instance from where you can check whether you want the screen elements in DISPLAY/CHANGE mode.
    Hope this will help.
    Thanks,
    Samantak.
