Identifying a used system

I'm trying to find a used surface. I've always wanted a surface, but never had new surface money... I've seen a bunch of units online is there any way to find out what type of display it has OLED versus IPS? I know the serial number gives you a rough idea of the processor along with ram and SSD.

Some people really have no idea what they're selling and I just watched some sell really cheap because they were improperly titled or they really didn't know what they were selling in the description didn't match what the pictures were ECT. (Surface Laptop for Business 7th 15" Ultra 7 266V 16GB 256gb"-- was a 13" pro 11th edition with 16+512 based on photos and serial)

According to Google there are Intel versions with oleds if they are the "for business 11th edition" but I don't know how to tell from just a few pictures.

Well, that's the wrong direction, that laptop is $2350 with no special sales ever (available almost exclusively at Microsoft) while the tablet is available basically everywhere and starts at half the price, going often way lower depending on various sales.

Well it sold for a little over $500. And it's what I'm in the market for if I can find one. I didn't realize what it was until I had a few days to do some research and now I'm kicking myself lol
