    That is the WUXGA panel, yes.

    It isn't standard and is an upgrade (if that's what you meant)...

    I think the TL in that stands for Truelife which is a term Dell uses . The WXGA panel is not Truelife.

    They all have the dimming issue so you have 0 choice in that and the only panel shipping with these machines is Samsung so again 0 choice.
