    hi there1

    Just curious as to how many models of the RGB LED monitor are there, and what are their main differences?
    From what i found out on ebay there are two types?
    0K1NFP - 0J2CY8 and LTN170CT11
    Can someone recommend which replacement i should get?

    Cheers
    Tio

    We use two different screens for the M17x R2, one is a LCD screen and the other one a LED screen.

    The main reason behind this, is that LED used much less energy than LCD, and we needed that energy to be able to run with dual GTX 285s.

    If you would like help getting any of the two parts send me a PM and I'll coordinate everything for you.

    They are both the same thing.

    The first P/N is a Dell P/N while the second one is a manufacturer P/N from Samsung.

    i actually had one of each. had to replace one of them for dead/stuck pixel. the first one, 0K1NFP, i prefer more to the latter one - better white and brighter. luckily, no annoying stuck pixel on this one :)
