    It's glossy, glare, truelife, call it like you want, but it doesn't have a matte antireflection-coating ;)

    Thanks guys!! You are right! RGB should be just glossy and my reseller admits that he has had to make a mistake, so he offers me to exchange it. So the machine that got to me is definitely not an rgb led. (Agent @ dells chat apparently neither had an idea what is true-life screen when he said rgb led is a bit matte!)

    Still, I maintain that the wuxga resolution is a very accurate for 15,4 inch screen. I had no problems with it, even if it was not RGB LED :) My next maschine surely comes with wuxga.

    Now I can choose again between a 2ccfl, and the TRUE true-life screen;)

    I have just seen rgb led running in a store, it's glare, and it appears a bit ping when seen from an angle. How do you manage this reddish appearance. Who did a hardware calibration? Does the manual calibration and so called "eyeballing" adjusts enough the screen, so its not to much red or oversaturated to you?

    Yes it looks a bit reddish from the side... but its not a problem, when you work in front of the notebook. Eyeballing is kind of hard with the RGB screen. I bought a spyder 3 tool to do this for me and I get a very good result!

    I got exchanged my laptop by the reseller last week. The other item which I ordered (also comes from dell outlet) is with a 2CCFL display, and I am subjectively happy with it. Although it needs to get used to its light bleeding, and not 100% blacks, but I have assumed that it will be good enough for what I use it habitually now. And also I made a little savings with this. I belive I'll give a try to RGB LED technology just next time, or may be earlier with an additional external display ;) Cheers!

    I recently purchased a M6400 and requested a RGB LED display. There were some other discrepancies with the order so I am wanting to verify that an RGB LED display was actually installed in the machine. The Hardware ID for the monitor is SEC5443 and it does have a reddish tint to it when I look at it from off-angles. From this information is it safe to conclude that the proper RGB LED display was installed (as opposed to a CCFL-type dispay)? Do traditional CCFL-type displays suffer from the same reddish tint issue? Thanks for any help.

    Yes, everything points to a RGB-LED-screen! Especially ccfl screens don't have reddish tint, because, they only have a white backlight.
    On my RGB-LED the screen looks red when I look from the sides, some kind of blue/violet when I look from the bottom and it looks greenish when I look from the top of the screen.

    Dell offers a much more powerful video solution, and a 3 year warranty (vs. Lenovo's 1 year).

    adding a similar warranty to a Lenovo will boost the price by hundreds of dollars
