Starting from ground zero for my laptop search

Check out the pic below comparing the above two displays. Not even close, the T410 (on the left) blows away the R52 (and therefore my T60p).



Will this translate into better direct-sunlight/outdoor viewing?

 

Looks like I've found a reasonably-priced T400 with a LG-Philips LP141WP1-TLB8, FRU=42T0579 (not quite a LP141WP2-TLB1, but still an LG...for whatever that's worth). 220 nit. Any comments on this display? Seems like it might be my best options thus far (aside from upgrading any T400 to a LP141WP2-TLB1)...

 

I'm not sure, but I'm reading that the LP141WP1-TLB8 might be a CCFL/backlit system, instead of LED backlit. Is one technology necessarily "better" than the other? And/or does the CCFL present a potential problem for my outdoor/sunlight viewing, battery drain, or anything else?

 

Yes, the T410 will be significantly easier to see with direct sunlight on it.

 

Excellent, thanks. Will the LG-Philips LP141WP1-TLB8 (FRU=42T0579) display in a T400 that I'm looking to buy offer similar/same/better brightness/quality/sunlit-viewing to the pictured (above) T410 display (FRU=42T0729)?

 

Another point: a used 220-nit display (LP141WP1-TLB8, supposedly with a CCFL backlight that wears out sooner than LED backlights?) may or may not be as bright as a new 200-nit display (FRU=42T0597, an AUO B141PW03 according to TFT display - ThinkWiki ), the latter is another option I have to buy.

Thoughts?
