    Hi, Everyone.

    I just received my ThinkPad X61. I found its MultiTouch MultiView screen is very grainy. I guess it is a trade-off of the Touch Screen Function. Lenovo actually offers another screen option, SXGA+. I did not choose because I wanted choose a better CPU, which is bound to MultiTouch MultiView Screen.

    Does anybody know if the SXGA+ screen is also so grainy?

    Thanks

    Maybe you should call in lenovo and explain the issue, maybe a replacement would be better?

    I don't think it is a defect. It looks like a compromise of touch screen.
