Why are laptop screens glossy now-a-days?
-
It's so dissapointing these days walking through a mega store like Best Buy and seeing all their laptops with glossy screens. I don't get it. Who could have ever decided that a screen full of glare (like the old CRTs) was a good thing for LCDs? I guess some people are lured by all their shininess. It's definitely turned me off to the idea of replacing my old laptop. :sigh: I found this discussion about it on Joel on Software[^]
My latest C# extension method: public static bool In<T>(this T value, params T[] values) { return values.Any(v => v.Equals(value)); } Example: bool valid = answer.In("Yes", "No", "Dunno");

Glossy screens don't diffuse light as much so images will look more crisp, making them better for multimedia usage which is big these days.
Thats fine occasionally, but the 90% of places where you're suffering from glare they blow. My personal laptop has to cower shoved back between two taller parts of my desk to avoid the light.

Attach a 3M Privacy screen and you are set. Remove the screen for watching movies and use the screen for diverse environments.

Hmmm, I wonder if 3M secretly promoted the new trend. :) Thanks for the tip.
