    You should be able to easily tell if its a BrightView screen or not.

    Turn off the computer so the screen is off. If you can easily see your reflection in it, then its a BrightView screen.

    A label should say Brightview on it. It should be glossy. Your invoice will state Brightview. You cannot upgrade. You will have to return it.
