    RGB has been discontinued for a while so if you're in the US, I doubt you got one. Copy and paste your hwinfo32 here so may be someone can help. Noone can tell you what you have from what's stated on your op. :confused:

    If the new screen is better than your old one, just forget about it and keep it. If it isn't, take it up with Dell and have them send a tech over to swap the displays. It's not as if you don't have a choice//
