    hi,

    I have a new T400 for three days. However, seems like there is a display problem. Actually it is diffucult to realise it in the first look. However, especially when I compare the display quality with another same serie notebook's the diffrence easily can be recognized. First I thought, may be my laptop didn't have led backlights and that was the reason of difference, but it is not. Both of the laptops have same lcd with led backlights.

    I am really confused, is it possible to have such a display qualty difference between two same notebooks? Or is there a problem with my notebook?

    Are you saying you have two t400's and the displays look different to you? You could have one both a Samsung and LG panel.

    Pics? Lenovo is known for having a lottery for screens. I think the biggest weakness of Lenovo's notebooks are their poor quality screens (or rather the chances of getting one, since they have some good quality screens too).

    yes, that is exactly what I mean, displays look different. In one t400 colors are more bright and clear and other one seems pale after I look to this one. Is this normal, otherwise I will give this noteebook back.
