    So I'm also looking at the Z61t now. Its not as "good" a deal in some ways, but... how are the screens on these wides?

    The thinkwiki: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/TFT_display#TFT_Displays_as_found_in_ThinkPads
    seems to indicate that the 14.0" might be best

    I'd like to hear from real people how are the viewing angles and contrast on the various screens 14.0 WXGA, 14.1 WXGA, 14.1 WXGA+, ... etc.

    Thanks.

    The Z60t I saw was decent, but nothing great. Unless it is IPS, they're not gonna be great.

    yeah, I keep mulling over the T60 IPS, but I again and again decide I have a hard time justifying the cost and weight.

    Like most laptop screen it will darken as you move off center. I guess it would depend on what you are going as to whether it is worth it.
