    Might have found the way to see what kind of Screen you will receive on your System BEFORE having it in your hands

    Props to ttpmx for finding this ( see thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=212898 ), I had to manually add my system though. you guys need to find your service tag first of all. To do that, follow the instructions ttpmx gave you by going under Tech Support -> My systems list. Once there, go in Find System and Peripheral. Enter either your customer or order number and go all the way down the page and hit submit (don't need to modify the criterias, they include all shippings between 2006 and 2008 on all type of systems). Once you hit that, your system should appear (it needs to be shipped). You should see the tag service number, write it down (or ctrl-c). Go back to Tech Support -> My systems list. Now add the Service Tag number and hit Add. You should see your system in your list now, and you should be able to click on the Service Tag number (which is an hyperlink) and see all the details of your system. Go down mid page approximately and tada!

    You probably need to be logged in your customer account on dell's site to do that also.

    1 XP059 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY..., 15.4WXGA+, VIDEO ELEC. STDS. ASSOC...., TLF, LGP

    This is what I should receive. Makes a lot of sense since most wxga+ users received LG screens. I was still hesitating between WXGA+ and WSXGA+ knowing most WSXGA+ users didn't receive LG screens and that it's not that easy to get one, I'll probably stay with this one.

    P.S.: Let the calls before receiving the systems begin :p

    Does it really work though?

    Well if it does that's pretty nice to know that for my future purchases! :D

    Here is the screen on my Vostro 1400, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY..., 14.1WXGA, VIDEO ELEC. STDS. ASSOC...., LGP, V2.

    I got it a few days ago, and the screen is horrid. I may send it back.
