    Yesterday I placed an order for a blue M1330 in the outlet. In the specs it said that it had the .30 mp web camera meaning that it was an LED back lit model.

    Now, looking at the details in my detailed order summary, which only came up after it said the laptop shipped. I'm pretty sure I'm getting the standard display. It lists the camera as a 2.0mp model and the screen as:

    UN864 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY..., 13.3 WXGA, VIDEO ELEC. STDS. ASSOC...., TLF, LGP, V2

    I guess I'll wait until I get the thing to verify, but I'm sure it was a typo in the outlet and not in the invoice.

    Has this happened before? What is my best course of action here?

    If true, your best course of action is to request an LED screen. Do you have ANY email or invoice that says LED?

    Seems like there's an intern working at the Dell Outlet Store at the moment who's not really doing his job :)

    I hope it works out for you CitizenTony

    All I have is a screen grab of the specs that states .30 mp camera. I flipped through a few dozen a while ago and it's a pretty common error. I see now where they state which screen it has, but they have about 10 different ways of saying that.

    There are plenty of 2.0mp LED screens, and .30mp ccfl screens. All of which are incorrect of course. I felt a bit baited and switched, but it's more of a standards issue at Dell I think.

    They've really got to get that website under control.

    The ones that are labeled as 2mp LED are the LED screens (although it comes with 0.3MP).
