    I'm looking to buy a alienware from craigslist and someone gave me these specs. I can't tell if it's the 1080p screen so I wanted to list the specs here to see if someone could tell me. The price is $850 BTW.

    That seems like a decent price, but I am no expert... wait for other's responses.

    As to the screen: 3CGKT 1 MODULE..., LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY..., 14.0HDF, WLED, AG, FLAT..., LEGEND...

    If the seller can't tell you the specs in normal words and is selling at a really low price, there is a huge chance that machine is stolen. This statement coming from someone who had their m15x stolen and recovered thanks to Craig's list

    Thanks guys. Someone supposedly offered him $950 so he will probably go with that person.

    He may have taken away a big headache from you. Something else will come for you. Why don't you look for good deals on the DELL outlet store? There are promotions going on all the time.
