    question on the screens. I just purchased an anti-glare screen for the 1420, and I was wondering if it is a TrueLife screen with anti-glare, or is it just a regular LCD with anti-glare. I was under the impression its just a regular screen, and that the two other GLOSSY choices were TrueLife. However, when i called Dell's support on the phone (OH FUN) the lady with whom I spoke said that all 3 screens are in fact True Life, even the anti-glare. This seemed counterintuitive so i asked her to check for me with someone, and she did, and said that she they are ALL true life. Now, i smelled BS, can anyone clarify that for me? Regardless, after hearing everyones moans and groans over the GLOSSY screens, i'm taking back my thoughts of switching to glossy. ANti-glare for me.

    This is the first time I hear about anti-glare, as far as I know there are 2, matte and truelife(reflective).

    I'd go with truelife myself.
