Submission + - Laptops With Matt Screens Becoming Rare (slashdot.org) 4
craznar writes: I have focus issues with my eyes, one of the effects of this is that I cannot focus on a gloss screen. Having purchased laptops for myself yearly for around 15 years, I have been finding it more and more difficult to actually find a laptop I can even use.
Today I ring up HP/Compaq, Sony, Toshiba and review the Dell and ASUS web sites to find that there is almost no matt screens available any more. Toshiba do one model with matt screen (The Tecra), Dell seem to do one model as well (Vostro).
Am I doomed to a future without a laptop, as technology advances — my choices are being restricted by this desire to turn laptops into media centers.
So here is your challenge, find me laptops of any brand, operating system — with a matt screen, minimum 1280 horizontal resolution, minimum 1024 vertical resolution.
That has been my screen specification for around a decade...
