    Have M1330 with LED screen and want to buy M1530 with same screen from the outlet site. Viewing the description via the service tag, I cannot see specs for the LED screen.

    Were none made? Were none returned? Am I reading the specs wrong and there is a different description from the M1330 refurb site that plainly shows LED screen.

    M1330 T8300 Led 64G SSD hd 4G- all the bells and whistles $1400 refurb. Love it :)

    I just bought a LED m1530 from the outlet on Tuesday. It was the first one I had seen and since it met all my other requirements I picked it up. It was listed when I clicked the product number that showed all the specs. They are a rare find since they are so new but I'm sure you'll find one if you keep looking.

    Nice score on that M1330! The Outlet looks a bit depleted at the moment, I have been perusing it this afternoon. Just keep checking back as they always are updating their inventories.

    The LED panels are different than the CCFL panels in terms of size. This won't work.

    Maybe you will see mine as it has to go back and I don't' know if I'm just going to fix it. It takes 5 minutes of hitting the power button to start the laptop and then it restarts a couple of times till it works.

    There is a good possibility that some of those "15.4 WXGA Laptop Screen Display with TrueLife" models might actually be WXGA+ screens. Mine was, and atleast another forum member who posted in the big M1530's owners thread was. I think there is a team of people who copy this data over from the service tags somewhere, because it seems each machine in the outlet shows the information in a slightly different way (sometimes the processor is listed on the first line, and sometimes it is listed at the bottom).

    All screens come in the same caseing. I had a Dell guy put a Regular samsung in my laptop before I realised it was dimmer and looked like **** and had him take it out and go get me the right screen.
