September 22, 200718 yr Well, i have a ibm thinkpad and it has a non reflective screen, however, i find that many other people's laptop's screen has like a see through glass as a screen. Personally, i don't like having a reflective screen, but which one is better and whats pros and cons for each? Dark Phoenix Clan Site
September 22, 200718 yr a reflective screen gives better, sharper colors, so movies and pictures and things tend to look better on them, but matte or low gloss screens work better in direct sunlight, because less light is reflected off the screen, which means less glare.
September 22, 200718 yr pretty much. The cost is about the same, so many computer manufacturers let you pick between the two types for free when you buy a new computer.
September 23, 200718 yr I will say having a nicly glosed (reflective) screen really does wonders for your movies. This laptop is super glossed and it's got the best picture i've ever seen from a monitor. Of course the only way I could ever hope to use it outside during the day would be to boost the monitor power untill it was set someplace between 'sunburn' and 'vaporize' but I never use computers outside so I don't mind. Plus it doubles as a mirror when the screens off :wink: It really comes down to personal preferance.
