High-Resolution, Anti-Glare LCD for Gaming Laptop?

Kra Z Joe asks: "I've been having difficulty locating a laptop that has an anti-glare, WSXGA 15.4" or WUXGA 17" display AND a gaming-capable graphics system. As for anti-glare displays, I can find the standard WXGA 15.4" screens on laptops with graphics systems capable of running today's games, and I can find the higher resolution displays used with either an integrated Intel 'Extreme' graphics system, or some dedicated 'business' graphics systems. Unable to locate a major brand PC that meets my requirements — I've also attempted to find an add-on anti-glare product to use with those glossy-screened laptops. It seems that nobody makes a working product without also tacking on some type of 'privacy' guard, or some plastic frame that would prevent me from closing the laptop. Does anyone know a reputable laptop maker that would like my money, or where I can find a good anti-glare covering that works without limiting my ability to view from the side?"

    Sager or any other fine Clevo-designed laptop. It's offered that which you seek for years.

  2. What is it with the glossy screens anyway?? by 5pp000 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This whole glossy screen thing seems like a very unfortunate fad. I know, glossy is better for watching movies -- is that really the primary use that most laptops are being sold for???

    I think we (those of us who don't always use our laptops in the dark) need to let the manufacturers know that there is still a significant fraction of the market for whom glossy screens are unacceptable, period. It's just nuts that you can't get a 17" 1920x1200 laptop from Dell with a matte-finish screen.
