Hi ..OLED/PLED displays have a black background and lighter characters
(like the one shown on the homepage of this site). Backlit LCD screens
have bright background (yellow, green or blue usually). Sounds like
yours is OLED/PLED. I have heard these
have reliability issues? Anyway its easy enough to replace with a 
backlit lcd if you are worried..the mainboard supports both kinds of
display. A tech could easily do it for you.

cheers
steve
