Any of the other NUS peeps using the embedded security chip software? I've downloaded all the programs but haven't installed it yet. Is it really worthwhile? Thoughts?

i compared my r40 lcd screens to other laptops or crt monitors and i found that the screen is quite yellowish!! that means the white colour are not white anymore..its abit yellow...

I am a R40 user.... but my screen is not yellowish leh....all white...

 

[X18]

Did u actualli compare ur screen with others model lcd or crt monitor?

i think u'll find the difference when u do that..it's pretty obvious..the white colour on our lcds looks a bit..eh..how should i say..its not pure white..

anyway, i have noticed that normally laptop screens will have that kind of problem after one or two years...sigh.

I think it could be due to the brightness settings. Try setting it to the brightest and see if the problem is still there. It could also be due to the different type of LCD panels used too.

 

[X18]

What do u mean by different type of lcd panels used?

that means r40 are using the inferior type of lcds?

anyway, my brightness setting are set to the highest level liao

actualli it is not vry serious la..it is still white..but not as white as other lappy lcds.

You cannot say that R40 is using an inferior LCD. The yellowish screen could be also due to different badges of shipments coz i remembered seeing r40 at shops and they have really good LCDs no yellowish color. So i strongly advise that you check with IBM helpdesk to see what they can do for you.
