    tropics: do not use the word "wtf" on our forums again. It is especially inappropriate that you started a thread with that as the title. It was most unhelpful. Use descriptive thread titles so we know what to expect when we open the thread.

    Regarding the different screen types - Alienware never promised you a certain screen model, and they can't. It is like this with all manufacturers/brands, including Sager. They use what screens they have in stock, and they get them from different suppliers, which is why there is variability.
