    As far as being able to tell whether you got the wsxga screen, just go into display properties. if it displays 1280x800 as the maximum resolution you got the wxga screen, if it's something larger than that as the max res you're set. There are ways to determine what LCD you have--search this forum or google it. you have the 21 day return policy if the screen is not to your liking-some people have had luck with getting a new LCD shipped to them but my experience has been that you will need to return the computer if the screen is not to your satisfaction.

    Getting an LG screen does not mean you will be happy, everyone makes a big deal about what brand of screen they have but each company makes good and bad screens.
