    assuming i'm no expert that can tell just from looking at the screen itself, is there a way to tell whether i have an LED or CCFL? looking at what was ordered doesn't count, because it can be wrong.

    You could always take it apart. That's not the most fun job in the world.

    You could always go into the control panel > Device Manager > Monitors > Properties > Details Tab > Hardware ID drop down > then google the hardware ID. You might not have any joy though.
