[H] Glossy LCD screens

Hi, Looking at the ACER LCD's they come in glossy and matt finishes. I have two lapops a IBM T42 with a matt screen and a Dell Inspiron 700m with a glossy screen. I prefer the matt screen as you don't get any reflections. So I am thinking of getting the matt LCD monitor. Are there any benefits I

RE: [H] Glossy LCD screens

Colours are usually brighter with the glossy screens. I tend to find the reflections on glossy screens more bearable. Instead of all or most of the screen being un-readable, it's only the localized area where the main reflection is. Each to their own though :) -Original Message- From:

Re: [H] Glossy LCD screens

So why haven't manufactures switched to LEDs instead of inverters/florescent, which only seem to last a few years at best... Or doesn't that technology work for lappys? regards, al
