    I am abit confused with all the different types of screens that are available? With the 1520 i ordered the LCD option i chose is "High Resolution, glossy widescreen 15.4 inch display (1440 x 900) " How can i tell which "Screen" it is, for example WXGA+, WSXGA+, WUXGA? Another thing, what are the chances i get a grainy screen? Ive been hearing a lot about this, what does it look like?

    1440x900 = WXGA+

    Ok thanks, and how can I check the maker of my screen when it arrives? Like AUO or SEC?

    Go into Control Panel, Device Manager, and then Monitor. Right click on the monitor and select Properties. Under the Details tab, click on the drop-down list and select Hardware Ids. The Value displayed should give you the panel code, MONITOR\XXXXXXX. Google or search this site for the code to figure out what the acronym stands for in your case.
