    Hey all! FYI, the A2G antiglare screen is available at newegg and amazon. Got the email today, and ordered mine! :)

    From what I've ready they reduce glare immensely on the m11x... Newegg shipments usually take one day for me, I'll install it and let you know what I think...

    I ordered mine from dell and it just came today. The box they shipped mine in was bigger than the box the m11x came in.

    Ordered mine last week from Dell (who was out at the time) but got shipping notification Monday and it should be here Friday. I will also report on my results.

    Initially when I put it on, I was alittle unhappy with the slightly noticable difference in image quality. However, after using my m11x for a couple of days both indoors and outdoors, I must say that I have no regrets having it.

    It makes a huge difference for me being able to see what's on the screen when I am outdoors, or when there is a bright light source behind me when I work.

    I do still have that slight peeve about the image quality now and again(it is more noticable on white backgrounds), but overall, the pluses outweigh the cons for me.

    Plus, no more worries ever about the screen being scratched. :)

    Your mileage may vary.

    I wish they had a regular one (non-antiglare). I just want to protect the screen from the keyboard. I'm not too concerned about the glare.
    I guess I'll have to make my own, but it won't have the perfect shape like precut one.

    Sorry if this has already been asked. I did do a search and had a look in various threads but could see any info, anyway
    Where can I buy the M11x Antiglare screen from in the UK?. It seems DELL USA and Amazon USA do it but no the UK sites
    thanks
