    is it true that some people are getting bright screens and some people are getting dim screens? so its like a 50/50 chance that you'll receive a good screen? or does it depend on the manufacturer they use?

    yup depends on who makes the screen. they use 2 or 3 different companies right now it seems. lg is the brightest of the three imo

    can you ask them to put in an LG screen if you call?

    Ask them... then you'll know.

    Mostly you see around here that they can't guarantee a certain part be used in your system build, but they say there's so much % of a chance you'll get it.

    Is there a way to tell which screen you have without ripping the screen housing apart? I'm curious as to which I got in my newly arrived system.

    Look for the screen hardware ID in the device manager, inside Windows. Then Google that number.

    okay. So I feel stupid now, further research and googling leads back to the owners lounge thread, and indicates that the code i got is one for the lg screen. Altho in my defense I am not one to read through 29 pages of threads hehe. But I think in this case i might just want to do that and see if theres anything else I can learn.

    All of the WSXGA+ are LG.

    Most of the WUXGA LG, but some are AUO which will be a bit darker on boot-up, but once they warm up a bit the brightness is fine.
