    My m1340 has a screen ID of SEC5441. Now, I ordered this with the impression that it was a LED screen (says so in the order details). However, a search on this website has given me conflicting answers. Some posts are referring the SEC5441 as a definite LED, while others are sure its a definite CCFL.

    Can anyone knowledgeable shed some light on this?

    (Also, I figure I can tell if its LED/CCFL by the quality of the webcam image. Is there a good webcam capture program for Vista? In XP I could just use the webcam utility but that doesn't seem to be present in Vista.)
