I've seen a few posts here on laptop screens, and some thought that less
reflective screens may be better for certain applications, depending on
lighting. I'm thinking in particular of frequent business travel, and what
laptop brands/models may be available that have matte or anti-reflective
screens available, if any. I've looked at Best Buy and Sam's Club, and the
folks at Best Buy informed me that's how they all are now. And, for that
matter, that the brighter, more reflective screens are more durable and
easier to clean.
Personally, I'm a bit sensitive to glare, being a nearsighted glasses
wearer.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Check out Dell's Latitude line, available through their Small Business
Division, or higher.
Stay away from "TrueBrite" LCDs... They're the highly reflective ones.

Please log in for more thread options Dell's website doesn't say anything about it, so I called sales support for
small business. They weren't certain if a matte screen option was available,
and said my best bet (to be sure) would be to call back during business
hours when they could let me know either way.
I'll let you know what I find out.

There is no "matte screen option."
Any screen that *ISN'T* a "TrueLife" (sorry, I previously said "TrueBrite")
screen, should be a matte (i.e., not highly reflective) finish.

Please log in for more thread options Right. And the non TrueLife (I also said "TruBrite" earlier) choice was
not present yesterday on the 6400 configuration page. But I just
checked and it's still showing on the E1505.
