@FIXITplease, this is Lenovo and they are specialized in trolling with ThinkPads where they equip some of the crappiest existing IPS panels that basically no one else puts in their laptops, especially not in their premier lines.
Lenovo is doing that consistently for years at this point even in the most expensive products like their X1 line which is why I intentionally went with a pretty much flawlesse WQHD panel in my X1 Carbon instead of FHD that's plagues with ghosting and similarly slow gray to gray times.
And, unfortunately, it seem that exactly that is pretty much Lenovo's goal - to force people pay premium price for sh*t panels and if they don't like those screens there is always far better and more expensive panel to choose. Let's skip entry-level (ehm, cheap) ThinkPad series such as E and L and focus on T/Ts because here is T in question:
- 34 ms Black to White + 68 ms Grey to Grey in T14s G2 (notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T14s-G2-Intel-review-A-very-good-business-laptop-despite-the-16-9-format.548662.0.html)
- 56 ms Black to White + 84 ms (!!) Grey to Grey in another T14s G2 (notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T14s-G2-AMD-Laptop-Review-Ultrabook-Efficiency-Meets-Workstation-Power.609959.0.html)
It's not limited to just 14" screens because use that same in all other sizes, like with this 15.6" P15v G2 as example:
- 28 ms Black to White + 48 ms Grey to Grey (notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-P15v-G2-laptop-review-Affordable-business-workstation.625677.0.html)
I can keep just listing here but you get my point; those are all IPS screens and they are all crap. Lenovo's panel lottery is just making at even worse than it is. So yeah, it's either their rare talent or bad luck to just stumble upon the worst of the worst panels and then go
"Oh man, this slow panel with 51% sRGB is exactly what our business customers want and need, they will gladly pay 2000€ for such impressive experience!!1" or they do that intentionally to earn 25-50% more for same models with better panels. I'm 99.99% sure it's the latter.
