    Why does this review mention a LED display?

    Hey guys I was just browsing online looking for recent reviews and I stumbled across this one from "crave.cnet.co.uk". I wouldn't really call this article a review really but it did mention their Alienware M17X of having a LED display. Here is the link.

    Do you think they were mistaken?

    It's either just something they tried on a test unit or could be a possible upgrade in the future.

    in related news, AW's website doesn't tout the screen as "RGB LED" anymore.

    Cnet usually gets specs wrong on many products.
