We have long lost the extra high quality displays to the whims of the crap
laptop market (Lenovo volumes were not enough to resist the pressure from
the display vendors).  Although you CAN send in a flat pannel for 3rd-party
BrightView-III coating, it is expensive and violates your warranty.

Anything below 115 dpi really doesn't belong on a ThinkPad.  But oh well,
after the SL models, we know where the ThinkPad line is in high risk of
going, don't we?
