I know for sure mine is IPS. The model is LP125WH2 SLB3. The color reproduction is super compare to my Y580. Ghost is absolute minimal. I notice ghost when i move Windows across screen but I really have to look hard for it. I cannot see ghost in movies fast action movies. The angle view really good. I notice pictures are not as sharp but text is very sharp. Backlit could be a bit brighter for outdoor. Black reproduction is really good even in a dark room. AIDA64 says the panel was manufactured in 2010. I find it questionable. Monitor ID LEN40E2. I do not have the old gen panel so I cannot give you a contrast.

None here so far. I only have problem where the GPU is not being fully utilized for older game, causing the game to have lower fps than usual. If you game opengl or directx? If opengl, try to enable triple buffer. You should be able to overclock w/ stock bios up to 1066mhz.

Ya, I believe all the "home" version of Lenovo notebook do not come with HD light. I bought X230 and Y580 recently. X230 has HD led but not Y580. It's lame imo. You can download system tray HD activity icon. There are a few available. Try to google it.

Hi, is the V8.01 is the true full flash or it is only the partial flash? Partial flash as in it will flash but will return me with an error that a portion of memory could not be written to.

It is weird so you many of user are complainnig about the stock wifi. What router are you guys using? I am using dd-wrt and tomatos w/ Broadcom based chipset and not experiencing any drop out, lag or slow speed. Maybe I am one of the few lucky one. Have you tried the latest driver from intel.com?

Is it possible to disable max brightness during startup to save battery life? I cannot control my brightness until the machine boots into Windows. This is for Y580 with V8.1firmware.
