    Hi All,

    I'm thinking about buying the Thinkpad X1 Yoga and currently leaning towards the FHD (1920x1080) option due to the fact I'm not sure how useful increased resolution would be on a 14" screen. I would more seriously consider the OLED model but the fact it has a glossy finish is kind of a negative for me. I'm also concerned about battery life and possible burn-in issues associated with OLED. I'm curious how the color and gamut of the WQHD IFD compares to the FHD model. Also the FHD doesn't list on the specs page as Anti-Glare, but the WQHD does. Is this correct?

    14" WQHD (2560 x 1440) OLED, Touch, 300 nits
    14" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, Touch, 300 nits
    14" WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS, Anti-Glare, 300 nits

    Any advice on this decision is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    M
