    HI
    Before I go ahead with the upgrade from wxga to wxga+ I just wanted to make sure that I understood it correctly.
    Am I right in assuming that the 42T0427 at New IBM Thinkpad R61 Lcd Screen Panel WXGA+ 42T0427 on eBay (end time 26-Jun-10 17:02:31 BST) will be compatible with my t61 7661-gn3?
    And furthermore, can the partnumbers be fully trusted in regards to nit when I buy "unoriginal" "compatible" from ebay?
    If the numbers can be trusted I have the choice between a (220nit, LG-Philips
    42T0406 at 135$) and a (200nit, LG-Philips 42T0427 at 120$) both incl shipping from US to DK
    Any noticeable difference between 220 and 200 nit?
    Regards
    Rune

    From purely part number point of view, they are compatible. I am not sure how much you can trust the nits number from the compatible panels.

    If you use the LCD at full brightness you may notice the difference in brightness, but you have to put them side by side to appreciate the difference.
