    Hey, do you mind checking the quality of the headphone out?

    I don't find my P151HM to be loud, but loud is relative. I used to have inspiron 1520 which was much louder. Now I just use bluetooth headphone since I live with others.

    As for the screen, i think there was a diagnostic tool read about a while back but i cant find it.

    Some folks have reported poor sound quality, not necessarily a poorly constructed jack.

    Check Hardware manager--I'm not sure if it shows up but your 95% matte should be B156HW01 V.4

    I have this Dell Inspiron 6000 where the headphone jack has broken in such a way that neither headphones or speakers work anymore. Either the connector is broken, or the MB is.

    Quite honestly if you can't tell by looking at the screen (or you have a concern just based on looking at the screen), it probably isn't there.

    If the monitor looks excellent why worry about it?

    Mistrust of the retailer?

    Seriously, though, all the retailers who are active here have very clean records with the BBB and resellerratings.com. I don't think they're about to start stiffing customers to save $95.

    (Secretly, I'd like to know how to tell, too. Especially w/o dismantling the laptop.)

    Back in XP you could tell by the hardware profiles (Right click "My computer", go to properties, click device manager, go to Monitor, right click your device then hit properties). Head to the Details tab then change the dropdown to Hardware/Compatible ID's (I think).

    EDIT:

    alternate route:

    Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Monitors (expand this) -> Right click your monitor and hit properties -> Details Tab -> Change dropdown to Hardware/Compatible ID's

    The V4 is the 95% gamut model I'm pretty sure. So yeah, you're good :)
