 Today a guy asked me if the screen of my laptop is mirror screen? I do
not understand this term: what "mirror screen" is?

Thanks

The term he might have meant is 'reflective'. Screens like the
Ultra-brite on my dv8100cto are reflective and the glare from a strong
incandescent light staged behind me can be very distracting.

The more technically correct terminology would be glossy instead of
mirror screen. Worse different manufactures call them different things.
See:

His terminology is not correct, but he probably means the glossy screens
that have become popular (along with "wide screen") in the past 2 years
or so.

They may be popular with the manufacturers. AFAICT thay are far from
popular with the users.
