    According to noteb.com.. the AERO 15 OLED YD, XD, and KD panels are matte OLED? ( https://noteb.com/?model/model.php?conf=6638366554300578090_5593&ex=USD)

    Whereas the AERO 15 OLED XC and YC were glossy OLED? ( https://noteb.com/?model/model.php?conf=3853128872439898255_5278&ex=USD)

    (I think the XC and YC were replaced by the YD, XD, and KD, recently)

    Can anyone please confirm this? Did they change the panel from glossy to matte, recently?

    I personally hate matte screens because everything looks less sharp to me than on glossy screens.. please help!

    My YD is glossy.

    In fact I haven't heard of matte OLED displays....

    thank you for your response!

    could you please tell me if the surface of the screen is/feels like "glass", like the glass on smartphones?

    Feels like a plastic panel when I tap it.

    thank you very much Veritable! it's unfortunate that there's no glass panel, but i'm very glad it is not matte!
