    Are both of these panels AFFS?

    12.1" WideView SuperBright LED backlit WXGA panel
    12.1" WideView MultiTouch + MultiView LED backlit WXGA panel

    I imagine the multitouch panel has the resistance coating, is it noticeable when watching video? Are these panels still better quality that the WXGA+ panels in the X200s machines?

    The recent theory has actually been that the LED panels (both the ones above) are in fact Samsung S-PVA rather than Hydis FFS panels ( read THIS). Conversely, the CCFL model is FFS.

    That being said I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the SuperBright panel on the x200T. It is far and away better than the panel on the x200, x200s, x300, T400, et. al.

    The Multi-Touch panel is likely to add a bit extra grain to the surface. Depending on your eyesight this may become noticeable while watching a video, but I would say the effect is quite subtle. Both of the LED panels are of very high quality.

    That sucks. I'm allergic for PVA. Does this particular PVA panel come with the overdosis inputlag as most PVA monitor do?

    I have seen the X200t screen before, and it doesn't have any input lag. The one issue I perceive is that its white is kinda yellowish. The BOE-Hydis panel used in X61t has very bright white, unlike the PVA panel in X200t. Maybe I'm just too picky. The particular model I looked at is the LED variant of X200t with touchscreen.
