    I ordered my XPS m1330 with the slim and light display, which was suppose to come with a VGA webcam. However, when I enter the Dell Webcam Center, the maximum resolution is listed as 1280x1024, which is 1.3 megapixels. So did Dell include a 1.3 mp camera with the LED display? Does it provide the option for a 1.3 mp picture when the camera is only VGA? or did Dell send me the standard display by accident?

    I cannot tell if it's the standard display because I don't have another m1330 to compare it to.

    Check the device manager which has your display model number. You can use that to know whether you have LED or not.

    Where do you find the display model number? All it says is Generic PnP monitor in Device Manager.

    Thanks for your help

    Double click on the Generic PnP Monitor

    Under the dropdown, select "Hardware Ids" and post the value if you dont know what kind it is from it.

    The LED display does only get a VGA webcam. You confirmed you have the LED so you udo have the VGA. The true res is 640x480 but the higher res you mentioned is an interpolated/scaled res (ie fake). So you're all good.
