You can't.

You have to check the back of the actual LCD.

The model name/box info doesn't tell you.

Honestly though, i don't believe there's all that much difference.

Frankly, i'd likely save my money & get the LG 204WT/WTX instead, as i find it's very comparable, & without an annoyingly shiny glossy frame that's fingerprint prone.
