factorio lcd display made in china

So my screen with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 has 2,073,600 physical points, or pixels, that can display their own individual color. Your 4k screen will have whatever your monitor"s native resolution"s length times width is. When your screen is on, every one of these pixels will have to be told what color to display by your video card. Regardless of whether you are running an application at the native resolution, or half of the native resolution.

Factorio is a two dimensional game, made up of a bunch of pictures, called sprites, and each sprite has it"s own fixed resolution. For example, let"s say the assembler sprite has a resolution of 60 x 60, or 3600 pixels.

If you take those 3600 pixels and map them 1:1 to two different displays, like a 1080p screen and a 4k screen, then the assembler will look smaller on the screen with more pixels. Now, when you start to zoom in (or out) and you can"t map the sprite"s resolution 1:1 with the monitor"s resolution anymore, the way the sprite gets drawn is changed. As you start zooming in, the resolution of the sprite doesn"t change, your monitor just uses more pixels to display it. When you zoom in really close and start to see the "pixels" of the sprite, each of those "pixels" is actually drawn by many more of the physical pixels of your screen.

So, the resolution of the sprites never changes, what changes is how many of the physical pixels on your screen are used to draw the sprite. If I understand it right, if you zoom in or out in the game, you ARE changing the resolution. Or, zooming in and out has the same effect that being able to change Factorio"s resolution would. Which I think is why there is no resolution options, because at the technical level that is actually redundant.

You should try running Factorio in 4k, and seeing what you can see zoomed all the way out. Then try it with your screen set to 1920x1080. If the amout of what you can see at max zoom gets smaller, then I think that sort of confirms my theory. It would also imply that to get the performance increase you think you"ll get with the lower resolution, just play at 4k and don"t zoom out as much.

But if your video card supports 4k movies and stuff, then I think you might be able to run Factorio at 4k just as easily. I don"t think the calculations the video card has to do on a sprite based game are as expensive/complex as the ones that have to be performed in a 3d rendering pipeline.

"Factorio " is a real-time simulation game that aims to escape from the planet by building a factory line on the drifting planet and automating various tasks. With Factorio, a fierce man who has created an 8-bit computer that actually works has appeared.

One problem I had was that the display worked during the BIOS boot screen but would not work in Windows, the solution was to change the video memory in the BIOS from 256MB to 512MB now it works fine.

The trouble is (and the reason I got a new one, bought this one for low price) that the display has brownish/yellowish hue around the edges. The middle area is fine. It’s usable for normal work, but this is annoying.

Hi Ragnar, This is pretty usual. Most T440p come with the TN 1366x768 14 inches panel. It seems like this panel doesn’t age very well. I have bought multiple t440p with worn out displays: I don’t really care since I immediately replace it with the FullHD one.

My t440p doesn’t have nvidia card, but I begin to put another 8GB RAM, in the weekend will change the display…just to begin the mods!!…Yes it’s a great laptop!

Make sure to ask the seller if it’s a genuine LCD panel (and not a compatible one). Ask them which LCD they have in stock (if any). Don’t buy any compatible LCD as those are generally of poorer quality. I bought mine on Aliexpress but got one with several dead pixels, so I wouldn’t recommend the seller which I bought the unit from.

Hi Roger, I don’t really know the T440s, however it seems quite different because it relies on a ULV Intel CPU. The chassis is also a bit different (thinner). You can’t swap the CPU of a T440s, but you can definitely swap the LCD panel. However, the screens suitable for the T440s might be different. I suggest you to ask on Reddit Thinkpads. It’s the single most valuable resource regarding Thinkpads.

Thanks for the extensive review. I am on the lookout for building a T440P. The only thing that is not clear to me is which screen is considered the best so I would like your thought on this. Could you also elaborate on this: “Always make sure the item description doesn’t talk about compatible LCD”.If you could send me some links that would be great. Thank you!

Hi Jim, Just make sure you get the advertised panel, not a “compatible” one. Compatible LCD panels are equivalent to branded LCD but have usually lesser quality (lower color coverage, higher response time). Definitely not worth the money when you spend a lot to get a genuine LG panel and receive a cheap chinese copy instead.

1080p LCD: I had a B140HAN01.3 in a T430s before and found it a little dull, not bright enough. So I gave a try to the Innolux N140HCG-GQ2 rev.B1. VERY happy with the Innolux 400cdm brightness. Almost no color adjustments. BUT this Innolux does not have tabs on the rim, no way to screw it in place. My work around: (this Innolux is a lot slimmer) took the metal rim from a broken screen, did some trimming at the bottom, put 3M dbl-side tape on the rim, screwed the rim in place, and aligned the Innolux onto the rim. (Innolux is a few mm less wide than original lcd) Put back the bezel. There is light gap between the bezel and the front of the LCD, which I could get rid off by adding some shimming between the tabs and the top cover… but I did not bother… gap is not noticeable. I’m really satisfied with the screen and the installation.

Can you tell me a bit more about the solution you did to ameliorate the space between the lcd and the bezel? I also have the same problem on the bottom part of my bezel. I suspect I might have damaged a plastic connector from the bezel that is not able to stay in place when I put it back together.

Can someone plug in an external monitor into the VGA port and tell me if you can see the bios & OS in both the internal LCD and external VGA monitor at all times ?

Thanks a lot for this awesome guide. After reading it, 3 weeks ago, I purchased a unit with 4210m, 8gb, webcam, illiuminated keyboard in my language, 500GB HDD and the 1366x768 HD Display for € 129,-. Additionally, an activated, licensed Windows10 was found on the HDD.

I’ve bought mine for about $115 with a 4300M CPU, 1600x900 screen and no RAM or HDD (It was the cheapest working T440P that I could find for sale in my country, and I’ve had 16GB of 1600MHz RAM and a 240GB SSD laying around, so didn’t really care about the lack of these components). I’ve found an incredibly good deal - a synaptics T450 touchpad for $12 and I’ve bought this display: https://www.amazon.de/FTDLCD%C2%AE-N140HCE-EN1-REV-C2-Display-Bildschirm/dp/B07GFF375V/

Quick update: the display arrived shortly after writing the first comment and IT IS MAGNIFICENT. It is the real deal, and using it is an absolute pleasure

In most cases, having 2x ram sticks, hence double the memory bandwidth, only leads to marginal performance improvement unless the workload is heavily dependent on RAM bandwidth / speed. Factorio is a game which heavily uses the RAM, thus sees much higher performance gain when switching to dual channel ram.

Hi! The guide did help round out some of my build (4712, 16gb hyperx 2133, transcend 256, Han1.3), and I’m loving the ability to fix small parts when they do break (the frame for the display was cracked in a corner, easy fix). I also replaced the clunkpad with the T450 trackpad (found a synaptics for a fair price).

For anyone ebay trolling, I got an authetic B140HAN01.4 from seller lcdbeststore - I actually ordered a LP140WF3-SPD1 LP140WF3 so not really what I ordered, but it works fine and is in good condition (seems as good as new). Glossy. Linux confirms:

This is not an endorsement, just stating facts of my experience. Really not digging the 3rd party lcd screen seller drama, that’s for sure. Just happy to have a decent screen even if it’s not the one I ordered.
