    M1530 arrived the other day. Loving it so far but I just want to know if there's a way to tell if I did in fact get the LED screen I ordered. Is there some sign on the exterior of the computer or found somewhere in the hard drive? Thanks.

    I've never used vista, but it's something like you go into Personalize, then Graphics, then hardware, then Advanced, then Driver, and then you can check the part number you have

    I completely forgot but if your part number starts with CP something then its LED.

    I dunno someone else will probably give you a better answer.

    I think I was reading a review about the 1530 and they said the LED screen only came with a VGA camera but I think it was an older review. Their website and my build sheet definitely says 2MP. Hopefully that review was wrong or the camera on the LED has since been replaced by a 2MP.

    You're confusing the 1530 with 1330. The 1330 LED screen comes with a VGA camera.

    go to control panel, then device manager, then click on monitors and click on generic pnp monitor. When you get there click on details and hardware id and it should say MONITOR\CMO1555
