    Hi all,

    How bright is the T400 regular screen (1280x800)? I know it's no contest compared to the LED backlit one, but is the CCFL one still usable?. Also, how does the brightness compare to the X61s UltraLight? I've read that the T400 regular screen is 185 nits, while the X61s is 180 nits.

    Can't answer the question (got the LED screen) but I just had to add that if its a matter of cash the $40 or so were so worth it for me for a great screen. I keep brightness at 60% unless I'm outside.
