how do I tell if it is the right screen?

You can search by your laptop model. If you have a Dell Inspiron M5040, this will work.

Stephen, the two answers below are correct. There are different screen technologies, but if you follow Carl's suggestion, you will not need to worry about that. The only other concern is look at where the connectors are on your current screen (bottom left or right) and be sure you get a screen with the connectors in the same place.

I really don't know. I searched my specific model number of my computer to find the right screen. You may want to take your laptop apart to find the specific screen model number. I found step by step instructions with pictures for this online for my specific laptop.

Check to see what model of laptop you have. Most of the time when looking for a screen for a laptop it helps to get a screen specific to that brand & model of laptop.

There are several types of the LP156WH1. Usually noted in 2 parenthesis like this one, (TL) (CL1). Make sure you get the one that matches the same parenthesis. Check what's written on your screen, and if it matches, you will be good to go. If your screen has that 2 pin connector at the bottom, should be good to go too.

Not sure but the screen works perfectly for me... if the part numbers match I would go for it. Amazon is helpful if you must return it.

It is the same screen. Make sure the sender sends you the correct screen though.

I used my model number and the description for the replacement screen had my model number. I also found a YouTube video that helped me with the install

Typically, the only way to know exactly which model screen you need is to actually see the part or model number on the back of it. That means gently pulling off the screen bezel, and removing enough screws to separate the screen from the plastic back panel. Most computer repair shops do this regularly, but it's not considered a DIY task.

I am editing this answer... I don't think this is a match - when I google your part number I get some screens that are different... But stay optimistic, because you can't believe anything on the web, you know? I checked for a few corresonding pictures, they look just different enough to me. Your screen looks expensive in some places. Maybe contact this merchant on Amazon to see if they have a screen for you, or could get one. The screen was a great price and worked perfectly.

If the screen is just broken its a matter of the LCD screen the top glass is included if this is the model that you need it is the correct size. Make sure the resolution and aspect ratio is the correct type and if possible dissemble the screen and check the parts number which should be located on the bottom center on the back of the screen.

I'm really uncertain. My IT guy at work only gave me specifics of what was needed for the second screen.

Very (very) tentative yes. I remember in the directions there was info about extra screens. But please note, I am not a technician, not even a technie.

Hello,Thank you for your interest! We best match compatibility based off the part number and revision number of your original screen itself (not the model of computer). This information would be located on the backside of your original screen. If you can supply us with this, we would be more than happy to check our inventory for you! We prefer to ensure you receive the correct screen the first time!Olivia W.VIVO Customer Support

Hi Maria, Thank you for your interest in one of our products. We would be more than happy to find a screen that is compatible with your laptop. In checking for screen compatibility, it is best that we go by the "part number" of the screen to ensure accuracy. You can find the part number at the back of the screen once it is taken out of the laptop.We look forward in doing business with you.Thank you
