    I've also spoken with Dell support and they acknowledged the error. I definitely have the CCFL per my service tag and their records. LED's are currently on backorder so I'll have to wait awhile for the replacement. I have no problem with that. ;)

    OMG what more do you people need?
    Cliegal's LCD is CCFL while Tileman's is LED.
    Proof: pictures, measurement done in the other thread with 2,5mm difference and informations from device manager/service tag (tileman = MONITOR\CMO 1390 = Chi Mei Optoelectronics = LED screen while Cliegal has AU OPTRONICS CORP with 2M camera = CCFL)

    I wonder if webcam itself is the issue of thickness....even with the LED.
    I think the LED screen recieved by Tileman is thicker that than in the Dell LED picture

    Ok. There is no question here. Tileman has an LED display, and Cliegal has a CFFL.

    As a complement to djrm's image, here is my comparison image.

    Cliegal CCFL on the left. Tileman LED on the right.

    They are going to send a new one when they get the LED screens in and can build it. I also got some concession $$. Dell support was very good and they were seriously concerned about the screen mixup. I have no reason to be upset as I have a wonderful laptop with a CCFL screen to use in the meantime.

    Thanks you two:

    I think that anyone who chose the CCFL might be slightly shocked at the pic. Of course money is always an issue and if you couldn't afford the LED then im sure it will still be an awesome laptop.

    The CCFL casing does not even deserve to be matched with the sleek M1330. It makes the computer look fat and ugly.

    But the view, once opened and turned on, is lovely. :) I watched part of a movie and used slingplayer to watch some TV at the office last night and the CCFL is great.

    I don't think it's that shocking IMO. Nearly all laptops on the market are CCFL and we're all still alive lol. I must say that from the looks of it, Dell is not the best at making thin displays.

    My current CCFL looks thinner, but as always with pics it's hard to tell. I'm glad I spent my money on a better processor and graphics card rather than £130 extra for the screen :eek: We get rip off prices compared to the US...

    Why a refund? She has a cool laptop already, and they are offering to replace the screen or the system when one becomes available... Asking for a free laptop for that is not right.

    Nice comparison's guys. I had thought tileman's screen looked thick like cliegal's, but i think its because the picture i was looking at was taken closer than the one's i was comparing it to.

    I think he was joking that they should refund her for being such a nice customer...

    How many other people has this happened to? Dell screwed my order up too, so I called and they offered $500 - I took it, of course, but I'm thinking of ordering another one and selling this one if I can find a buyer for it.

    I checked my packing slip and it says my part number for the Slim and Light LCD is RW483. And the Item number for it is 320-5591. When I look it up on the Dell Service Tag page, it says something about OptiPlex GX1 but from Europe and from 10/29/1999. I just want to know what kind of screen I have, if it's the CCFL or the LED.

    I am looking at the wrong Part Numbers?
