Avoid Glare On Screens and Notebook Frames

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by bobetsue 02/20/07

Glare and reflection from high glare screens, screen frames, and notebook computers is annoying and distract from function and use.

In stores, this may be a marketing ploy. Consumers may not fully understand the problem of glare. Online sellers like Dell should inform buyers when shopping whether the screen and case are "glare" or "nonglare."

When "nonglare" was introduced to television, shoppers considered it an advantage worthy of extra expense. In the art world, nonglare glass is considered worthy of extra expense.

How did we ever get glossy screens?

Dell should offer customers a choice between "glare" and "nonglare." 251 Comments »

Stop the TrueLife Madness!

Monitors and Displays submitted by jmecc 03/28/07

First it was all the laptops and now even desktop screens are getting the TrueLife garbage (SP1908). Just keep the screens mat like they were - there was nothing wrong with it and the manufacturers had to screw with it.

TrueLife brings this terrible glare onto the screen that mat screens avoid. In stores, you see this fishbowl screensaver and you know why it looks good - because a real-life fishbowl is glossy! As soon as you try to get work done on these the glare is a big problem though.

Each manufacturer claims to have some anti-reflective coating, but they all look shiny. You know how to recognize something that is reflective: if it is shiny that means it is reflecting light, otherwise it would not look shiny. Please, please, please return to the mat screens!!! 6 Comments »
