    Hey guys you probably know what I am going to ask.

    Is the glare that bad that you cannot really use it during the day in a bright room.

    And if you knew then what you know now, would you have still bought it?

    Dont want a laptop I can only use in certain rooms of the house.

    Anyone know if the sony Fz x-bright's are any better

    Thanks for you comments.

    its all personal preference
    if you work outdoors alot or cannot bear the reflections you'd be better of with a matte screen
    but the glossy screens(true-life) make the colours appear more vibrant thus providing for a better visual experience
    i personally own a laptop with a glossy screen
    i wont deny the existence of reflections during strong backdrop of sunlight or so
    but a simple adjustment of the screen and all is well
    and yes i would buy the glossy screen again in a heart beat

    I don't find any problems with it.. I love the screen so much that I wouldn't hesitate to have purchased it again.

    It is pretty bad if you are using it out door, FOr indoor it is fine.
