Lenovo T530 laptop screen
I have a Lenovo t530 2359CTO that due to a recent drop needs a new screen. When I purchased the laptop I opted for a matte 1920x1080 screen. When I look for a replacement my options are 1366x768 or 1600x900. Which is correct
I own a Lenovo ideapad with an NVIDIA Geforce GT 650M graphics card. Windows 8 is the OS installed. Everything worked fine on the laptop until I updated to Windows 8.1.
If I let the laptop sit for more than one minute, the screen will turn black. The backlight stays on, so the screen is not turning completely off. Any key press or mouse movement will "wake" the screen from this state.
I have checked several things to try and resolve the issue. I have updated my graphics card drivers to the latest versions. I have restarted my PC a few times. I have observed this behavior while it is plugged into an outlet or unplugged and running off the battery.
I have also looked into the power settings for my PC. The screen is not set to turn off until 15 minutes and the laptop isn't supposed to go to sleep until 30. Adaptive brightness is not enabled.
This one is $900 which is my AT MOST price range http://www.bestbuy.com/...9163970041
And this one is more expensive and I can ONLY get it if it goes on sale Black Friday or cyber Monday for $900 (do you think that's possible?) http://www.bestbuy.com/...cat0502000
Also, if you have any suggestions maybe I must tell you that I really want a touch screen with it and remember NO MORE than $900
Now I just learned about this neat little feature that my lenovo laptop has which is the fingerprint scanner and I like it alot because of the added security, now what I would like to know is if there are any programs out there that use that feature as well?
I know what you're going to say. That's impossible. It's like asking a Ferrari or a Lamborghini for less than $100,000.
But I've heard of people say that they bought a gaming laptop for less than $1000 and it runs games at high graphics.
I need links to the laptops or links to sites where I can make mine for less than $1000.

Apologies in advance for this long post, but I like to be thorough. So to get right down to it, here are my laptops specs:
-I use a Lenovo Ideapad 585 laptop
-Processor- AMD E1-1500 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.48GHZ
-Ram- 4GB
-Operating System- the 64-bit version of Windows 8.1
I believe the whole issue stems from updating to windows 8.1. Had no issues for a few weeks after the update and then I had an issue with not being able to change the brightness on the screen. I installed the latest drivers; video, lenovo Energy Management, and a few windows driver packages from the lenovo website that fixed other peoples problems. One of those things did the trick and I could adjust my screens brightness.
Then the current issue started up, not being able to open certain programs. I've only found three so far: Windows Photo Preview program, AMD Control Catalyst Center, and Razer Synapse, but I imagine there are more. At this point I did a system restore to back before the screen brightness issue since I couldn't remember what I had done that might have started this issue, and that fixed opening those programs. But of course the screen brightness didn't work again a few days later.
I could go back to an older driver and that fixed the issue. Went from AMD Radeon HD 7130 Graphics to AMD Radeon HD 7130M and that fixed the screen brightness again. But back to square one on opening those programs a day later.
I have a laptop - Lenovo Ideapad z500 - 15.6" screen size.
I hate its reflective glossy display. I want to put ViewGurad's Anti-Glare screen protector on it.
My concern is whether the laptop skin will be looking dull or maybe weird colors or something else after applying that screen protector.
Also, will it somehow damage the screen if I ever want to pull it out?
I have Windows 8 on my Lenovo G500. I'm completely content with Windows 8. Last time I updated to Windows 8.1 it would not allow my laptop to access internet or anything. How do I disable the automatic update? I can't get any work done with it interrupting me.
I have a lenovo y-40 and the GPU is a radeon r9 m275x. Is it possible for me to upgrade my laptop to the radeon r9 m290x? My CPU i have right now is a intel i-7 4510u but i feel like its bringing me down. To what CPU can i upgrade to make my laptop better. I would like to still use an i-7 since i use the same laptop to make Photoshop stuff. I also have 12 GB of RAM.
