Dell Latitude E4200 LED Panel

There are two different LED Panels used for E4200.
Toshiba is not a good one, which has some bleeding issue.
Samsung is the best, which is soft.

You can figure out which panel you own on your E4200 via looking at the bottom of LED panel (Golden color means that you have a Toshiba one, and Silver one will be Samsung. Toshiba one also shows a lot of small bulbs at the edge, bad, bad...

 

I got Toshiba. My screen looks great, and I am looking at 3008WFP all day long. I mean color is nowhere close but no issues like others described. There must been bad batches.

 

Thanks for the pics. Judging from the pics, I think I received a Samsung. I haven't removed the bezel, but the bottom part of the bezel is loose, and I can pull it back to peek underneath - and it looks like the mesh-type of stuff at the bottom of your pic of the Samsung (and there is no circuit board visible like in the Toshiba pics). I haven't used the machine very much yet, but haven't had complaints about the screen so far. Guess I'm lucky?

 

Instead of opening the bezel, can you check the hardware ID of the monitor? Mine says LCD2307. Any idea who makes this?

 

Toshiba.

Thanks, you're right, it's a Toshiba. I agree with you that it is very sensitive to viewing angle, but the LG on my E6400 is about the same.

 

Hardware ID:

LCD2307= Toshiba
SEC5441= Samsung

 

Hi jjaafree,

Do you happen to have pictures of the Toshiba and Samsung panels side by side? Subjectively, what are the differences in their display quality? Thanks.
