If you want a brighter panel, you should get the WQHD version to be on the safe side. We can unfortunately not say how the LG display performs in this respect. This is clearly below the advertised value. The maximum brightness is only 226 cd/m² and just 211 cd/m² on average (brightness distribution: 89%). The display even manages a better contrast ratio of more than 1,000:1 thanks to the very low black value (0.22 cd/m²), but this is unfortunately all the good news. Lenovo advertises a luminance of 250 cd/m² as well as a contrast ratio of 700:1. The alternative is a Full HD panel from LG. Our panel has the designation N140HCE-EAA (LEN40A9) and is provided by Innolux. Similar to previous models, Lenovo uses panels from different manufacturers, so you cannot avoid a certain panel lottery. The advantage of this resolution is that you can also use it without scaling. The Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) results in a decent pixel density of 157 PPI in combination with the 14-inch screen. Lenovo only equips the ThinkPad T460s with IPS displays. Some pictures were taken from this article as well. The relevant information is available in the review of the T460s 20FA003GEE. Our two review units of the ThinkPad T460s use the same chassis, so we will not cover the sections Case, Connectivity, Input Devices and Speakers in this review update. Besides the Core i5 processor (ULV), Lenovo also equips the T460s with a 192 GB SSD as well as a matte Full HD IPS display. The first thing you will notice on the spec sheet is the small amount of RAM (4 GB), but the configuration is otherwise pretty powerful. The education model of our review configuration is around 200 Euros (~$227) less expensive. Today we review the base model with the designation 20F9003SGE for around 1,400 Euros (~$1590) and check if there are any compromises you will have to make. However, the high-end configuration is also expensive at around 2,350 Euros (~$2669). The ThinkPad T460s left a great impression in our recent review and is already one of the best office notebooks in 2016. For the original German review, see here.
