    Do I have a LED or a CCFL backlight?

    I was perusing my Dell.com account for my laptop and looking at the build specs (Studio 1537), and noticed something that confused me a bit:

    1 J656H Liquid Crystal Display 15.4WXGA, Light Emitting Diode True Life, 0-2BD, Lg Philips Lcd
    and
    1 M135C Bezel, Cold Cathode FluorescentLamp, Camera, HEPURN
    and
    1 M465J Converter, Light Emitting Diode, Low Cost, Liquid Crystal Display, Notebook, Hepburn

    So, which do I have? LED, or CCFL? I see both terms in my specs sheet so I guess I'm a little confused :)

    Just curious, doesn't really matter to me... I'm just a curious person :)

    Mine came from Best Buy, so I don't know ;) The box does not give specifics on the LCD backlight nor did the specs on the BB product page. Like I said, doesn't really matter to me either way, I was just confused by what seemed to be conflicting information in the specs listed in my dell.com account :)

    Okay, nevermind -- ignore me. The product page at BBY does list the Studio 15 (1537)'s as having an LED display. Its not stated either way on the Specifications page, but on the Overview page it states it as being the LED display.

    -----
    15.4" WXGA widescreen LED display
    With TrueLife technology and 1280 x 800 resolution brings your movies and games to life.
    -----

    So guess that answers my question. ;)
