What is up with crappy monitors on Laptops lately?
-
All the new laptops seem to have monitors with a glossy finish. Do the manufacturers think we like to look at glare?:wtf:

I'm not sure either. The colors look brighter than in a matte finish LCD; but the glare problem, or even simple reflection in a lighted room with a dark image is much more annoying IMO. IF you only use predominantly white applications though it the glossy screen is definitely better. I'm just waiting for a revival in antiglare screens to hang in front of your LCD, followed by the first lawsuits from people who cracked their screens by not remembering to remove them before closing the lid.

That's about what I told my friends too. I also told them to put a bunch of masking tape on the screens to reduce glare.:laugh: Where's a VC when you need one? I wonder if I should send a note to 3M.
