LG ( == Philips) is one of the major panel manufacturers. I just had a look into their catalogue, and in their current lineup there's only _one_ panel with 8 bit colour depth. A 17,1" widescreen. The panel technology is not specified, but the backlight is described as "RGB LED" where all the others are "white LED". It has about 34% higher power consumption than the other 17,1" alternatives. Here's the webpage: http://www.lgdisplay.com/homeContain/jsp/eng/prd/prd300_j_e.jsp The panel model number is LP171WU5. It's not listed on the webpage, only in the PDF downloadable from the webpage.
It's terribly difficult to figure out which panels are actually inside any particular laptop unless the maker states it as part of the specs. Which nearly noone does. :-( Jostein -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
