Does a M17x R4 with a 120hz display automatically come with a built-in IR emitter? (no 3D Bundle purchased)
Folks,
I'm looking to buy on eBay a "new in box" M17x R4 with a 120hz display - but listed without 3D glasses. The computer is unopened and apparently purchased with the 120hz display but without the nVidia 3D bundle. (Apparently, this was an option some time ago as this is no longer an option on the Dell website.)
My question is: Does the 120hz display come with an IR emitter and can I get 3D gaming by buying only the 3D glasses?
Or would I be stuck with just a 120hz display with no IR emitter and have to buy the nVidia 3D bundle kit including glasses and external IR emitter.
I would much prefer the internally installed IR emitter to save items to pack when I travel with my laptop. (Yes, I'm planning on hauling this heavy load around with me!)
Since I can't find the configuration option for purchase just the 120hz display, I'm having trouble finding out if the display has the IR emitter. Any help from the group would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Based on the part number scrub, the 3D LCD Emitter and 3D LCD Emitter cable are part of the 17.3-inch WideFHD 1920 x 1080 120Hz LCD. But the Nvidia 3D Vision Glasses Kit is not part of it. So he could have purchased the 3D LCD but not the Glasses.

vrijheidsamen,
Send me the service tag number via private message and I can look to see if the Emitter and Emitter cable are on the invoice.

I asked the seller for the Service Tag and they were unwilling because of a concern about fraud. I appreciate your offer to check for me though.

I recently did a lot of research into 3D monitors and glasses. From what i know, it really depends on the monitor. Some like my Asus have the integrated IR. Others do not. Do you know the brand on the monitor?

The built-in M17x R4 laptop display is just described as 120hz. I couldn't tell you the specific LCD manufacturer. The question is whether the bezel (display frame) includes the D emiiter. Chris M described the part numbers for the emitter and emitter cable.
