I don't know if it is the same issue, but on my T520 Photoshop does open files but it doesn't draw anything on the screen when OpenGL ist enabled and it's running with standard settings. However when I force photoshop.exe to run on the integrated Intel graphics, it works even with OpenGL enabled. D...

I've got the same problem using brand new W520 (I know this is T forum, but I don't think in matters in this particular case).
Has anyone able to find solution to this issue other than disabling OpenGL in photoshop or disabling Optimus in BIOS?

Thanks

I just want to share my experience with w520 FHD panel. In my setup I use Apple Cinema Display 23'' (3 years old), Dell U2311H and the w520. All 3 have been recently calibrated using HueyPro. Not surprisingly the Cinema Display shows the best colors and the Dell is not far behind. But the w520 still...

4270CTO ordered 3/29 arrived 4/11 AM (2nd-day UPS upgrade). FHD screen, 2820QM, color sensor (probably *really* needed if the FHD screen is only 6bit D/A!) Lucky you David! Mine have been stuck in Louisville, KY with "This shipment is warehoused until it is released by Clearing Agency" status since...

Altrough the shipping date for my W520 was postponed from 8 to Apr'14, it has shipped today. Hooray!!!

The ship date for my W520 has been changed from Apr'8 to Apr'14th. I ordered ICI7-2820QM with FHD screen.
This really sucks

Am I alone or others had ship dates of their W520’s postponed also?

Thanks to those who send me PMs with the bios download link. Now my X300 have got Intel 5300 installed and it's wokring just fine.

Hi, I'd purchased an Intel 5300 from eBay. The card listing was showing card as compatible with x300/301. Today the card arrived; I plugged it in my X300 and of course I ended up with the 1802 error. I've an option to send the card back but I would rather keep it. I understand that you should work w...

After installing the Fingerprint driver, the fingerprint no longer works. It used to work just fine prior to that.
System X300 with Windows 7 RC1

Guys, I'm trying to figure if it's possible to install 5300 on X300. I've been serching around but I couldn't find an answer to this question.

Thanks,
Yury

It's gone indeed. I just ordered a T400 with LED option two days ago.

Hi all. I'm thinking of buying the x300. Are people generally happy with their machines? I'm happy with mine, but I hate the LCD screen. I'm concerned about the 64GB hard drive. Do you find it big enough? Does Vista hog a lot of the space? Is there an option to get a 128GB drive on the 300? I still...

I have more problems with Vista than I can keep track of. If your needs are modest, Vista works. If you needs are significant (business and work related), XP does a better job. ... JDH JDH, I've been using Vista on several computers since the day it the RTM was released to the beta testers. The onl...

1) I can only compare my X300's LCD to my previous T43p IPS screen and in this comparison the x300's screen loses big time.

2) I use both track point and track pad, the trackpad seems to be just fine.

3) I'm using my x300 as a development pc and it's fast enough to run Visual Studio 2008.

I don't think you need a privacy filter for x300. The LCD's viewing angles are so bad, one practically have to look really straight at the monitor to see what's on the screen.

I've figured out how to use ICC profile my X300 was calibrated with/for... It's called DisplayProfile and it "removes" the Bug in Vista's WCS tables. Can you please explain in more details about DisplayProfile fix? I calibrated my X300 with Eye-One2 hardware calibrator. This hardware comes with a s...

I got my x300 day, used to use T43p with a IPS panel. I have both of the notebooks sitting next to each other, wow.. the X300's screen is just sucks comparing to the T43p's one. Well I knew it gonna be bad.

I love everything else about this notebook, but the not the LCD quality

I hope you've realised that it was stupid to post the screenshot with Vista cd-key?!

Note from Moderator: Find another way to describe this other than stupid.

I had an 15'' LCD on my T43p replaced twice within 8 months by IBM Singapore due to a small about 2mm long particle in LCD.

Now I got a scratch on my LCD and I really hope that some particle or dust would appear again so I could get the LCD replaced with a new one
