    The tabook says:

    This is strange because no monitor has such a resolution.

    I was really hoping to plug the W500 into a 2560x1600 monitor and use it in tandem with the LCD on the W500. But this information leads me to believe this is not possible.

    It also says:

    But the Lenovo advertisement says 200+ nit. :(

    Can't confirm it at the moment, but if the screen happens to be a crappy Samsung Screen, it is 175 nit.

    If they ever come out with the LED WUXGA screen do you think I could purchase just the screen and swap it out?
