Newegg probably got their information mixed up somewhere along the line. The 8104 definitely has the 15.4" WSXGA display. If by some freak accident I get mine with a WXGA screen - well, just watch CNN for a late breaking story about a guy going crazy and destroying the Acer corporate headquarters

Only downside for the people that ordered. Every site claims it is a wxga screen. These people are gonna have to confirm to us it isn't...^^

i guess if Acer.com, hardware review sites and member reviews aren't enough, you can wait for newegg buyers, all of which are configured and built by Acer. have fun.

I plan on doing that because acer is just as capable of making typos as 3 retailers who get the shipment in at the same time. Why would 3 retailers all getting the shipment in the same time say it is wxga. Maybe acer changed to screen line to increase production? You don't know until you contact the retailers to get the facts or until someone buys it from them and tells you. It is common sense. The user reviews were people who bought theirs almost a month ago. Wake up and smell the coffee production line could have changed.

Nice rolling eyes. I hope you use that on all your posts, it's perfect for you.

you're right, they must've changed the production line from WXGA to WSXGA before they shipped any. Because no one has ever received a WXGA, even in early january.

Then they changed all their literature and brochures, because they weren't sure of what they wanted to do when they first produced the laptop.

Then they shipped a bunch of WXGA screens just to a few online retailers like Newegg, they thought it would be amusing to confuse everyone with the stats on acer.com.

See how that works, even without the rolling eyes?

The reason the other retailers got it wrong is because they use NewEgg's site for specs, and NewEgg is well known for these kinds of typos.

Yep, mine is WSXGA also (also from Newegg). Samsung is what comes up as the manufacturer when I run get-edid. Verry happy with the screen. Much better than my Dell 9200 that I had returned - don't get me started on that whole mess......
