if you are lucky you may get the lp171wu3 model this is the newer version of the wu1. it is brighter and has better contrast ratio.

 

Thanks for the data!

 

Does anyone now what screens come in the 9262?

 

Yes.
(+10char)

 

I just looked at that page on LG and it shows the LP171 WU1 with 600:1 contrast ratio and 16ms response?

 

they may have updated it..the info i posted was taken from a replacement site where i know someone who sells the screens. i would go by what is now listed on the web site and also the 9262 uses the same model screens from what i am told as the 579x models do..

 

I was told by Justin at XoticPC that the 9262 does indeed use the WU1 for WUXGA..

 

then i must have the WU1 and i must say that it is pretty good for me. good brightness and very minimal light leakage towards the bottom. viewing angles are good, too. if i remember, though, the alienware m9750 i used to have had a birghter screen but more light leakage and a very lousy viewing angle from below.

i am curious to see how much better the new model is.

 

^^^ pretty much agreed. it not the best screen i have seen but it is pretty nice. very minimal light leakage. could be brighter, colors are great though, does have some grain to it but its minimal. overall not a bad 6 bit panel

 

avoid w02 like the plague.. i don't know how the hell i ended up with it since i bought my 9262 in jan this year.

 

Is something wrong with the links? I see the page but no data shows up.

Thanks,

Joe

 

hmm yeah they pulled the info down for some reason.. not sure why ill see if i can find it again

 

I wonder if it`d be worth it to upgrade the screen.
Well, actually, not for me, I`m fine with mine. Although a brighter one would brighten my day...

 

Nop my friend, the WU1 is better than the WU3...

Unfortunately LG.Phillips will discontinue the WU1 over the new WU3 with lower specs, to lower the WUXGA panels cost.

Here it is an comparation between both models(older specs .pdf VS new):



WU5 100 color saturation and 16milion colors over 256k...

 

Yeah, I'd go for the WU5 - can those be had?

 

+1 re: WU5, I'm in for the first Sager notebook that has this screen.

The Blackhawk Xr5 may offer the WU5 lcd as an option:

17" HD WUXGA+ 1920x1200 Ultra Resolution Matte Non-Gloss Wide Screen Cinema Display

re: http://www.pcmicroworks.com/store/customize.php

 

Strange, the specs listed on the lg website do not match the pdf supplied by Audigy. The website lists contrast on the WU1 as 600:1, not 700.

In fact, I don't even see the WU1 in the PDF that I just downloaded from the site.

http://www.lgphilips-lcd.com/homeContain/jsp/eng/prd/prd300_j_e.jsp for reference.

 

As between Audigy and LG, I'd trust Audigy over LG - if LG is dumping the WU1 and replacing it with the WU3 just to get cheaper product, my guess is that they're trying to pull the old soviet-style PR trick of airbrushing out of the picture the inconvenient facts of the fact, like the original WU1 with better specs.

Just as an example, from an otherwise very unreliable website:
(though the website pretends otherwise, I believe that this is one of their primary training tools - pretending history doesn't exist)
Trotsky "bites" the dust

 

lol @ Shyster

 

i was told some of the specs there on the wu1 were not correct by a lg rep...there are 13 different versions of the wu1 btw...that from what i was told does not cover them all. that is a general spec sheet.

 

so we went from the WU1 not being very good to it being very good lol

 

imo the wu1 is decent but not great as i have always said..

 

I wonder if anyone would actually even offer the screen choices if we made a big deal?
I mean : CPUs are made of options,hdds are made of options,why couldn`t we choose what screen to have also ?

 

Rest assured, the WU5 is frightfully expensive, as it is LED backlighted.

 

Can you quantify D ) "frightfully expensive" - we're dealing with folks who're willing to drop US$3-$4 on a system, so we may be a little less faint of heart than many.

 

imo the wu5 will be prob 500-700$ roughly

 

Here's one for sale for $700.00 on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-LP171WU5-17-...31569QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262

 

That is expensive, and probably a little too rich for my blood, but not frightfully expensive - "frightfully" would probably start around US$1,000 or so.

 

imo im sure retail is around there..

 

Would a WU5 work with the 9262?

 

Is there any way for me to find out what screen is in my system, short of taking it apart?

 

Yeah... I'd like to know do... Device Manager just says "Generic PnP Monitor" !

 

what does it say under the hardware id tab in the details screen?? 99.5% you have the lp171wu1 if you have the wuxga, and the lp171we1 if you have the wsxga..

 

there is no hardware id. nothing in the properties says anything about make and model....

 

Then use Everest to check out.

 

Try something like Monitor Asset Manager or Power Strip from Entech; if your display's info is in there, one of these utilities should be able to find it.

 

Either the drop down box from device manager, or Everest will show you the model.
You can tell how obsessed I am about the temps

 

mine reads APP9C69 in hardware ids

 

tried monitor asset manager and it does not identify any info on the monitor.

Hardware information........ n/a
Windows description......... Default Monitor

 

powerstrip does not report it either. it says the same thing as device manager, APP9C69.

 

wow really??????? hmm app9c69 i do not believe is even a lg screen

 

don't know.

i found this thread pertaining to my monitor model #

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=237230

 

hmm i can check for you to find out give me a minute ill make a phone call.

 

yes that is a "generic" name for the lp171wu1...usually used by apple. not sure how or why they found their way into the clevo's. maybe just what lg shipped out since they had them in stock at the time.. ?? dont know. also the lplf600 is the lp171wu1 as well

 

ok cool so none of the d900c owners should complain then. we got a good screen.

 

well that was according to my source who is in that business so i would trust him on it.

 

My pure (cynical) speculation would be: some one at the LG plant started programming the batch of units from whence came ARGH's display with EDID data for shipment to _Apple, when either (i) he realized he was zapping the wrong set of pallets, or (ii) _Apple changed its mind about accepting delivery of that particular pallet, so they got sent back - hopefully double-checked - and put right back in line for shipment out, to another buyer (Clevo).

EDIT: I think the snotty, truly self-absorbed companies, like _Sony and _Apple have it done that way so that they can pretend that they built the entire system, from assembling the first molecules of silicon, up to Steve Jobs personally putting the final dab of polish on the exterior, when in fact they're no more "manufacturers" than Sager is - what's more, Sager's honest about it, the others're just posers. _Sony even went so far as to hide the true identity of the maker of the display unit in my )$% vaio in their own confidential top-secret service manual - the only way I finally found out was by opening the back of the lid up so I could see the label stuck on the back of the display unit itself. Pathetic it what it is.

 

LPL0B0A is a LP171WU1, i opened the panel and checked.
