    Hi guys,

    I was just wondering if anyone knew what the options for the screen were for the M17x R1/R2??

    I know you could have a 1440x900 screen (LCD or LED??) and also a 1900x1200 LED RGB screen (which I've got) but did dell ever have other screen options?

    Like normal LCD 1900x1200? or LCD 1440x900?

    Download HwInfo (32 or 64, doesn't matter) or Astra.
    Press the Monitor tab and find the serial number.

    Dual CCFL panel 1440*900 has U519K€170BT

    Dual CCFL panel 1920*1200 has R610K€170CT

    RGB panel 1920*1200 should be K1NFP€170CT or the model added later on J2CY8€170CT
