    14.1" WXGA TFT
    14.1 WXGA TFT w/LED BL [add $20.00]
    14.1" WXGA+ TFT w/ LED BL [add $72.00] [Lenovo recommended]
    14.1" WXGA TFT HN w/LED BL [add $135.00]

    I've been reading the forum about the T400 and the "bad panel" issue popped up several times. However the the T400 is the best for my budget right now and I'm deciding which screen to get. Out of the above options which one would you guys recommend?

    if you need to use it outside/care about screen quality go for:
    14.1" WXGA TFT HN w/LED BL [add $135.00]
    if you want the most real estate/resolution go for:
    14.1" WXGA+ TFT w/ LED BL [add $72.00] [Lenovo recommended]
    if you just want the cheapest one go for:
    14.1 WXGA TFT w/LED BL [add $20.00]

    So the HN has the best quality (contrast and saturation)? I've read on here that the HN is more washed out compared to the rest.
