I'm looking at Ebay to find a 15" Flexview model, and am wondering how one can tell if the machine is truly a flex model ?
Does 'something' in the model number designate it as such ?
Finding mostly R40 series that are in my price range .
As I understand it, the SXGA will have a larger text size as opposed to UXGA ?

I'm always a bit leary when it comes to EBay :

Thanx for the link. however I'm still a bit confused :
As I understand that chart, it lists the model number of the Display and mentions what machines it was Available in. Does the actual ModelNumber of the machine indicate that it is indeed a Flex ? Example :
R51 2883- *** where the *** tells us that it's a flex ?
Or, must you disassemble to find the particular FRU model # of the display itself ?

Thanx,
Ray

Flexview displays are all 15" SXGA+/UXGA displays on the following models:

R50p/R51/T42/T43/T60

So if it is 15" and SXGA+ or UXGA, it is Flexview (unless the unit in question has been tampered with).

Thanx 'dr'...
