These are great laptops, but the GLARE is ridiculous. Is there something you can purchase to cut down the glare?

yeah the glare is bad. I'd check out what Tom said cause I did a quick search and found several listed for specific laptops/brands but not for this one. Hope you find one that works.

this might be helpful: 3M Privacy Filter for 17.3 Inch Widescreen Laptop (PF17.3W); available here on Amazon; from the product description page: "Filter is reversible. Choose matte side for anti-glare or glossy side for increased clarity."

You will get some glare. Still worth it given the led screen is protected and looks not bad

Possibly because lenovo web is terribly unorganized. The model I recieved has 1920x1080 matte antiglare screen. Extremely good picture.

Same as previous answer. Helps a bit, maybe. No real noticeable difference as far as glare is concerned. HOWEVER, there is a MATTE FINISH Illumishield that is probably better. I tried to cancel my order for the original but it had already shipped. I think the matte finish is specifically designed to reduce glare.

the samsung nc-20 is glossy unfortunately. i dont know why the glossy screen is the majority of netbooks? how stupid can companies be. these are for TRAVELING!! Not only glare is a problem but privacy as well. i dont need the person next to me on a plane watching everything i do.

Yes, there is glare, but I tell you what, the plasma picture is a superior picture, darker darks and I found a way to reduce the reflection. Too bad they are stopping production of them.

You can see but not as well... Just adjust the brightness and use an anti-glare screen protector, it'll definitely help. I guess that's an issue with tablets. Otherwise it's awesome.

I have two of these on XPS 8700 computers and they have been great. I don't think they have anti-glare coating and if you have some bright sunlight from windows you will get reflections. Do not notice any problems with desk lightning.

Same as the answer above regarding glare. Have had the set for about 6 weeks now. Very pleased.

Looks like this was answered below. I will say that I don't use this anymore. You can't see the screen because of the glare. It's even worse is you use polarized sunglasses.

The resolution of the screen is unacceptable. Also is you're buying a laptop from Amazon, make sure it is not a third party purchase, or you could be stuck with a restocking charge.

I wear gaming glasses for the glare, since I'm on the computer all day long and it's not bad. The sound canceling does work well. They work particularly well for webinars, or online meetins through Citrix and the like. All in all, a good purchase and I would recommend.

my screen I bought was a little bigger than my screen but I applied it anyways it sticks out a little but it does help with the glare I am person that doesn't bother me that it sticks out but I know it might bother someone else. Right now I am annoyed my laptop froze on me twice tonight so I put it up.

There is a back lighting option that you can enable or disable with a keyboard shortcut. When it's enabled, the lighting is quite bright and effective -- I found it to work really well for using the laptop in the dark.

I have the 71F and once you turn it on the glare is really not an issue. I would much rather have the 25,000:1 contrast!

I've not experienced a problem with glare. My tv is next to a window but angled at approximately 45 degrees away from the windo.

The os is your choice; I have Win7 upgradable later if I want. The screen seems matte to me, but I'm not sure....
