    I received a replacement LCD (LED backlit) yesterday. The old one had a bunch of dead pixels. But, this new LCD is terrible. Awful black levels, terrible glare and lots of bleeding light. Anything with a black background is difficult to see.

    How do I detect the make and model of this LCD so that I can complain again to Dell.

    I have an XPS1330.
