    Hi I just recently got two xps140's from the dell outlet.

    the first one is just like a normal screen, not really any reflection or anything of that sort.

    the second one i just got this week..but it has major reflection..I can check my self out while sitting there on pretty much any sort of screen that is a little dark.
    Is this one true life??
    Why does these two wxactly same laptops have two totally different screens?

    On the order form it doesn't say that i do not have true life on either, just says i have the normal screen....
    :confused:

    confused here...help!

    thank You!

    Yes, the second xps m140 you got does have the truelife. Many comapnies offer the truelife option. With the truelife you get better contrast ratio by like 10 or 20%. Its a $25 upgrade from the normal screen.
