X220 hd premium how is screen visibility outdoors in the shade?

Looking to pickup an X220 with the HD Premium (IPS) display. Can anyone confirm if this configuration works well outdoors in the shade, say under a patio. Is the brightness sufficient to see the screen ok.
I would like to be able to work outside sometimes when the weather is nice and currently cannot do that with my X61s as it gets washed out with any thing other than indoor use.
Thanks

The IPS screen most certainly does work well outdoors and is bright enough, in my view.
The matte IPS screen  was one of the primary reasons why I chose an x220 and it was a great decision. You'll never go back to a glossy TN screen. Enjoy!

  • What can I do for screen glare?  Even outside in the shade I can't read the screen

    I can't read the screen outside even in the shade.  Adjusted brightness, etc.  help

    If glare is the problem, buy and install and anti-glare screen cover.
    If brightness is the problem, you only recourse is to max your screen brightness and/or shade the screen.

    I would like to inquire about how I could have my iPad 2 repaired or replaced. I bought it With a credit card via apple store website last June 19 of this year. At first, I already noticed a little white spot in the middle of the screen visible when the display on screen is dark. I thought this was okay. Now, My problem with it is that, it now has green discolorations at the center whenever the screen display is black or dark I.e. When a website's color is black or dark or whenever I go to the search interface.
    I am from the Philippines.
    Please attend to this inquiry as promptly as possible. I'm sorry I have to send it here since I cannot see any email or inquiry page on the apple website. I also cannot reach the toll free number on my mobile phone.
    Thank you very much.

  • I accidently click for a full screen view on Firefox and now I can't undo it. My bar with tools, bookmarks, etc. is not visible. As the browser opens, the bar appears but then jumps up where it can't be reached. How do I turn off the full screen?

    Co-el, This wasn't possible as there wasn't a navigation bar available. The F11 did the trick though. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

  • I somehow set my toolbar to disappear after a few seconds, making the screen jump, very annoying, how do I set it back so it stays visible all of the time?

    I can't remember where I found the option to make the toolbar invisible until I moved my cursor to where the toolbar usually shows. If I move the cursor again, after a few seconds the toolbar disappears causing the screen to jump up and fill in the space where it was. It is so irritating and I can't find out how to make it visible all of the time.

    You can try to check the '''Options''' for the different '''Extensions''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Starting Firefox temporarily in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] may also help determine if an installed add-on is causing the change.

  • How to make all "allowed" clients visible at the log on/welcome screen at start of the computer

    Assuming this is controlled by the Active Directory Server 2012 R2..
    I allow 3 users to be able to log on to computer A.
    I now start computer A. At the welcome / start screen I only see the person who was logged on latest.
    However, it would be great to see which 3 users actually can log on to that computer, have their user pic and names
    on the welcome / start screen instead of the "latest logged on" and then click on the person you are to log on.
    How do I configure the Server 2012 R2, or Client computer, so they won't see last person logged on, but simply everyone
    who actually is able to log on?

    You are not going to be able to do this on a domain computer. You can disable the last logged on user prompt though. This would make the computer prompt for a username at all times. That group policy setting is called: Interactive logon: Do not display
    last user name and is available under Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options.

  • How to get applications to fill the screen

    Hey,
    I have been meaning to ask this for some time but how does one get say the safari window to fit the screen without going into the display preferences and changing the display ratio. If I use a pc (heaven forbid) I can just click the full screen Icon and hey presto all the screen is used. But my beloved Mac does not. What am I to do?........ Woe is me

    Mac OS X does not have a +full screen+ mode like Windows, because it would be a waste of screen real estate to simply expand a window to fill the entire screen. What it does have is a one click expand to largest possible optimum windows size command. Click the GREEN orb at the upper left corner of the window. The window will expand (or in some cases contract) to a size that displays everything on the window without being any taller or wider than necessary. If the window content happens to exceed the width or height of the screen resolution, then it will expand to the largest possible size for the screen. The menu bar will remain and the Dock (if visible) will not be covered up by the expanded window.
    There are a few apps that act differently. For example, iTunes switches between the standard iTunes interface window and the little Mini-Player when you click the on the green orb.

    Screen slides off to the right-how do I get it back?

    Quit and relaunch Safari then go to the Tumblr site.
    See if your post is visible.
    If it didn't get posted, you will have to re type it out.
    Tip... write out the post in Text Edit first, then copy paste the message into the Tumblr window.

  • Officejet 6700 Premium blank touch screen

    A few days ago the touch/control screen on my Officejet Premium 6700, 14 months old, went blank.  It's lit, as are the home and arrow icons, (which don't function).  I've unplugged and replugged in a variety of ways, including directly to the wall outlet, did a hard reset, taking the ink cartridges out and putting them back in.  The power cord connection at the printer end is a bit wobbly at the bottom though solid at the top.    But if the problem is the power cord,  how would the printer be on and able to print from the computer.      Ideas?   My computer is an iMac Desktop, and the computer is attached with a USB cable.

    My  Officejet 6700 is less that a year old.
    I have had several times recently that it has said that it will not scan, copy or fax.  I have been able to persuade it to copy and print for me until today. Now the screen is black. The on button is lit, and the question mark in the corner is lit, but it will not respond to any attempts to get it to function. I am slow to just pull the plug and start over because it recently gave me a message to not unplug it with out turning the power off first. Now it will not turn off!  I am unable to power it down. I am not sure what to try next as it does not respond. 
    Please help me.
    Thank you.

  • I can hardly see my MBP screen in outdoor daylight.

    I would like to use my MacBook Pro outdoors but the screen is barely visible or has too much glare to see it in normal daylight. Does anyone know of a way to do this? My iPad and Kindle both show up very well in daylight - why not my MBP?

    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.  Have you played around with the brightness & dim keys (F1 & F2)?  Check your display settings?

    THAT you can't change. Silly of Apple not to provide a setting to back out the animation effects either as a whole or individually.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.
