    Hi Guys,

    I just bought a Dell Studio XPS 16 second hand, advertised with an RGBLED screen.

    The laptop works great but I am very sceptical about this display, all the reviews harp on about how amazing it looks but I can't really see much of a difference between this screen and my WLED monitor. Also when I run Catalyst Control Centre it doesn't work.

    Could someone please help? I will send this laptop back if it doesn't have the RGBLED screen as I paid extra for this feature because I edit photos a lot.

    Many thanks in advance

    Gar

    Go to Device manager - Monitors - Properties - Details tab - Scroll to Hardware Ids under property and check if it is SEC5448. RGBs come with this Id.
