When we disabled the Dolby enhancements, which come enabled by default, music became flat and lifeless. Like other ThinkPads, the T431s comes with Dolby Home Theater v4 software that improves its audio quality and gives you fine control over sound settings. Whether we were playing Patrice Rushen's bass-heavy "Forget Me Nots" or The Scorpions' guitar-laden "No One Like You," the audio was crystal clear and loud enough to more than fill a room. The Lenovo ThinkPad T431s' speakers are oddly placed on the back bottom of the system, but provide loud, accurate sound that's good enough for music listening. However, this showing is about on a par with the 209 lux thin-and-light laptop category average and well above the Dell Latitude 6430u (143 lux) and HP EliteBook Folio 9470M (165 lux). We enjoyed slightly wider viewing angles when there was a white background, such as when viewing websites.Īt 202 lux on our light meter, the T431s' screen is significantly dimmer than 249 lux provided by last year's T430s and the 279 lux of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. And when moved any amount off center to the sides, dark colors started to turn white. When staring at the screen head-on, we had to tilt the lid back about 15 degrees to get a clearer image.

Iron Man's candy red armor took on a light orange shade while the normally deep red of Thor's cape, green of the Hulk's skin and blue of Captain America's costume all seemed dull.

When we watched 1080p trailers for both "The Avengers" and "Iron Man 3" colors appeared white-washed and undersaturated. Unfortunately, the screen's mediocre color quality and viewing angles leave much to be desired. Click to EnlargeThe ThinkPad T431s' 14-inch screen comes standard with a 1600 x 900 resolution screen, which provides a reasonable amount of real estate for Windows and documents compared with the 1366 x 768 display that comes standard on so many other business notebooks, including its predecessor, the T430s.
