579x screen vs. 926x screen

When I bought my 5760 I ended up returning it because the screen was not very bright. I later learned it's because the 5760 only had a single lamp.

Now, with the 579x I was wondering if it is still a single lamp and if so, is it any brighter than it's predecessor?

I was looking at another post in the forums here and I saw this photo:



This is from a 926x and looks VERY nice and bright! My 5760 looked nothing like that. So I am wondering, does the 579x have the same brightness level? Does the 926x have dual lamps? If so, I may get a slimmed down 926x just to get that screen.

 

oh... i tough it was the same screen

 

You mean you want to get a 17" screen from a D901C and put it in a M570RU? I don't know if the connectors are the same on the LCD from the inverter. Maybe Gophn might know.

 

the LCD panels for most high-end 17" notebooks are close (to the same).

Most of these panels are by LG.

They do not have dual lamps... as far as I know.

If you want a particular panel with the specs (brightness, contrast, etc..) that you want, you can specify it to the vendor/OEM that is putting together your notebook about whichever LCD panel that you want.

...but most of the time, these panels that are used in Clevo 17" notebooks are usually the same kind WXGA+, WSXGA+, WUXGA... through LG.Philips.

 

You know with Clevo though a standard could become proprietary. Just a word of warning. Has anyone here taken apart their LCD's and taken pictures of the LCD cable connections? If so please post them. It might be helpful in making a determination if the LCD's would be compatible.

 

Are you sure your laptop and this one as the same resolution? and glossy?

 

..yup..Gophn seems to be right - as usually.. - since you are ordering a CUSTOM notebook, you chould not have any problems with ordering a specific LCD screen for your unit..and if I'm wrong, you can always give it a shot and ask XoticPc or PowerNotebooks about ordering a unit with a specific LCD..after all you can return the unit during yhour satisfaction guarantee period and get your money back...just make sure you ask for a SPECIFIC LCD screen during your ordering process..both those companies seem to be GREAT resellers and it'd be a shame to hear about any of them getting hurt by a customer who wanted something that wasn't specified during ordering process...

 

you can not pick a specific lcd screen. i know.. the 579X is a single lamp screen. imo its pretty dim compared to some other 17" i have seen.. not to bad and def not as bad as say the hp i saw but not as bright as i would have liked

 

the rule of thumb (usually) for 17" notebook LCD panels....

... the higher the resolution, the lower the brightness/contrast and response...

due to power consumption usually.

I have been happy with my WUXGA panel for over 1.5 years now... its contrast is still a good 500:1 and 25ms response is still good, most [users] wont even notice the difference between 25ms to 16ms.

 

Yep done it a few weeks ago. I didn't take any pics when doing it but the guys at Sager support sent me some pics of what to do at each stage. I'll see if i can dig them up and if they show enough detail. Now what exactly would I be looking for?

 

The 926x and 579x systems use the same LCD screens. Gophn is right that they are all single-lamp, and the screens are manufactured by LG.

 

So anyone that has a 579x, does the screen look as bright as the one in the picture for you?

 

gophn, does that apply to 15 inchers also? I was thinking about getting the m15x w/ WUXGA, but does that mean its brightness will be really bad?

 

for 15" LCDs... it might be a bit better in brightness since the smaller panel would use less power than a 17" panel.

 

So for gaming its better a smaller native resolution? or i doesnt matter?

 

it does not really matter that much IMO.

The main argument for people to get a lower resolution LCD panel is that:
- they cannot see small words (like on a WUXGA).. but it makes no sense since you can just increase the DPI and the theme font sizes.
- they want to have a better gaming experience... since gaming at a smaller resolution = better performance

But after going with a WUXGA, any mid to high-end videocard would do fine in that res for gaming. And you can choose the lower resolutions as well (if you choose not to go native) and it still looks good... no stretching or tearing really visible.

The great thing about gaming at a high res... is that you do not even need AA since you will not notice the edges of objects when you are knee deep in action. ...while those with lower resolutions will need to up their AA to hide the "jaggies"

 

For a word processing program, Thats very true.

For internet use tho, Some fonts do get larger, others do not. I think it depends on how the web page is displayed.

Mine is set for Large text in I.E. so sometimes i will load a page where part of the page displays the larger font, and the rest is very small. And of course the part i want to see is in the smaller section....LOL

50 year old eyes, Thats OK. I would rather be 50 than the Alternative.....LOL

 

well as for web browsing, there are many plug-ins or extensions for IE and Opera ... mainly Firefox though.

These plugins can zoom in the entire pag, which includes all text and pictures (which usually is not normally enlarged with basic browser options).

Here is the best extension for Firefox I found to be very useful for those that cannot see very well:
PageZoom

its easy to use, since you can Zoom in and out with (Alt + +) and such.

 

I Normaly just grab the reading glasses, (Sucks) Or if i'm reading/looking at alot of stuff I will just reset the screen res.

FPS Gaming i can see the crosshairs just fine, So that can't be my problem.............LOL
