    XGA, XGA+, Truelife?

    What are these and what do they mean exactly? I'm looking for a matte screen and I opted for a XGA. From what I've been reading, Truelife is glossy.

    Am I right or no?

    XGA = 1280x800 resolution
    XGA+=1440x900 resolution

    Truelife is the glossy mirrorlike finish.

    Matte only comes in XGA.

    Ah good I made the right choice then :D

    After owning an Acer and working with several HP dv's, I hate glossy.
