    when i have my first m17x i notice a low sharpness and an auto dim and we open the m17x to see the type of screen it was a samsung i forget the number but ZFACTOR lcd professional tell us that was special made for dell m17x. now i have a new system with 4870's and the picture, colors are amazing also i didn't notice the auto dimming no more, has to be a different screen any body who own the last system notice the change ?​

    One way to find out. Pull it apart and look at the model number.

    I think the stupid auto-dim is very easy to tell. I spot it the very first time I opened my machine. Can you confirm on that Witcher?
