Dell Warranty Screen Replacement Question

Hi,
I have some quick questions about the replacement screen that is coming tomm. that I will install.

1) It appears that I am reciving a W9892 LCD, (SERVICE KIT, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, 17, Wide Ultra Extended Graphics Array, GLARE WIDE VIEWING ANGLE, SAMSUNG.)
Is this screen any better/worse than my existing one, which is a: WC222?
(LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, 17, Wide Ultra Extended Graphics Array, GLARE WIDE VIEWING ANGLE, LENGTH/LONG)

2) The reason that dell is replacing the screen is because the housing that the screen is in is failing me. Before I get a little flex, squeaking when I got the notebook 2 months ago. Now, it is flexing more and making the squeaking nose more often and louder. Somehow they couldn't send me a replacement housing. Anyways, if you all think that the Samsung Screen isn't as good as my WC222, I can just exchange housing, right? Dell won't get mad and charge me for the screen, just because I exchanged the housing? I will return the screen back to dell with the Samsung screen if it is worse than the one I have however.


Thanks again, I did a search, but cannot find some definate answers.

So, you would recommend me to just swap the plastics/bezel. I wouldn't get charged or introuble with Dell if I do this and return the Samsung LCD with the old plastics?
Thanks

lol unfortuneally, I told them I wanted the plastics, but they ended up sending a whole new assembly instead. I'll let everyone know what happens tomm. Hopefully, both will look the same.
Any other opinions are welcome. thank you

Is X4766 Dell's Part No. or the actual screen's model number when I take apart the housing?
Im getting a Samsung Screen with a Dell Part No of: W9892, however, I don't know if X4766 is Dell or Samsung's Part No.

thanks
