M6400 - RGB LED - SpecViewperf -> 120 Watts?

I'll go get Everest and check on my Covet.

I've been hoping someone would get a standard M6400 with RGBLED... Can you confirm for me if it is matte or glossy finish on that?

 

Well, now I am really confused.
I guess I don't have any rainbow effect, on the other hand at the bottom left corner of the screen it's a bit brighter - which could be caused of ccfl.

Shouldn't LED panels have constant brightness all over the screen?


UPDATE: I just made a call to the dell support. The guy told me that regarding my system specs it really is a RGB LED panel. But still a little bit confusing...

 

My Covet says MONITOR\DELA02E, so wth does that mean?

Ah crap Im being retarded. Thats the 24' screen. Back with the other one later.

 

Covet = SEC5443

FWIW

 

Thanx for all your replies.

@toaddodger: well for me it was worth the posting. As "Barn" already wrote, XPS1730 also has SEC5443. I only wanted to be on the safe side that I got the right hardware for the upgrade price of 299$.


btw, is there an option for saving the brightness settings? Everytime the lappy wakes up from standby mode it starts up with 100% brightness.

 

You can change these in the bios, I believe

 

Hello to all! I have the similar notebook as janik_dk described, Dell m4400 with wuxga rgb led ...that is since today evening I did lots of research prior to the purchase, especially on the display specs. and its colours. I've been a bit surprised when I just see a little of white bleeding from the upper and lower edges of the display on black background, the first thought that have passed through my mind was the same as that of all of You: "was it really rgb led?" (and here I find this topic)

Again Monitor ID is: sec5443. I have just emailed Tech. Support with this peculiar curiosity. I'll post here the answer when it arrives. Anyway, as I can see that this case is not a particular one, and some of You where already reassured by the Tech. Support that actually it is the rgb led as it was supposed to be... Think I can sleep well this evening

 

I'm having EXACTLY the same issue with my M4400 RGB LED.
White bleeding on top & bottom, Hardware ID is SEC5443, I open the bottom plate & dig into the screen panel & saw the thin film screen connection printed "RGB", so I thought mine was safe.

 

Hi WiseFreeman,

I have found the answers from fellows users of m4400 RGB LED under this link:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=333840&page=6

-there all have concluded, that probably the only way to know its RGB LED, is that the screen HAS TO BE GLOSSY surface, and has a typical pink aspect when seen from the sides. I have also viewed this appearance in a store, to get asured.

Also the Tech Suport from Dell.co.uk added this:
"One thing that you can do is check the backlighting of the display when the
screen is turned on but totally black. With a CCFL display there should be
a "stronger lit" area at the bottom of the display, whereas, with a
RGB LED display, the backlighting should be evenly spread across the screen."

Me, after regathering of all those clues, I finally got exchanged my laptop by the reseller. The other item which I ordered (also from dell outlet) is with a 2CCFL display, and I am happy with it. Although I need to get used to its light bleeding, and not 100% blacks, but in the end it is good enough for what I use it habitually. And also I made a little savings with this

 

This is how I confirmed my screen is RGBLED (Please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks in advance.):





I can feel the pink color coat on the screen, I think it's glossy yet matte, not as glossy as MBP glass screen.


However, even with all my evidence lead to RGBLED, my screen still show the 2CCFL symptom, notice the white light bleeding on the bottom & top?
