    Hi,

    So I just ordered a new X1 Carbon (4th gen) and crossing my fingers to get the LG screen.
    If it's Panasonic I plan on returning it. My question is, does anyone know if the X1 Yoga OLED also suffers from this "display lottery" issue or is that display guaranteed to be high quality?

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan

    The X1 Yoga OLED has only one display which is from Samsung. The OLED screen is very nice, vivid and bright. It's basically like the display on a Samsung Galaxy S6 or similar which they have enlarged for laptops (pixel arrangement is different though). Unfortunately I got a display with one dead pixel so OLEDs suffer from this as well. Since the manufacturing process of OLEDs is not as mature as LCD, you might end up with these errors. The upside is that the resolution is relatively large so that one dead pixel isn't really visible unless you search for it.
