    Hello,
    I'm clueless when it comes to Dell so i got a little question.
    I ordered a Dell Inspiron 6400 with a WXGA TrueLife LCD screen.
    I'm gonna pick it up in 2 days, so i was wondering, is there a way to identify the TrueLife screen from the ordinary WXGA screen? a way without logging into windows? Is there suppose to be a sticker on the laptop saying TrueLife Technology or anything? any special line in the BIOS?

    Its not that i don't trust the company i bought it from, well actually i do, they already provided me with a wrong model in the past, so i really wanna make sure this time before i pay.

    Thanks in advance,
    Itay.

    It's shiny/glossy. A non-truelife screen has a matte finish.
