E6400 ATG glossy !!?

Hi!

Does anybody in this forum own a Dell Latitude E6400 ATG laptop? If so, could you write, whether it's display is glossy or matte.

I asked many Dell sales people, which confirmed that it is matte. Now I bought one and I am very disappointed about the display, because its quite glossy and not matte at all.

So if you have this laptop too, it would be interesting to find out, if its matte or glossy. Perhaps you could even put some pictures online.

By the way, a E6500 latitude I have seen some time ago had a matte display.

Best regards!

Contact Dell to return your system and have the display configuration corrected. If you are told MATTE, then that is why Dell must give you.

 

One would reasonably expect that a display which is marketed as "outdoor viewable" would be matte, however although I've not seen the ATG it is my understanding that the display is glossy but that it has an anti-glare coating which (along with exceptional brightness) makes it "outdoor viewable".

But aside from a touchscreen display (which I presume has the same gloss finish) there is no other display option.

It's regrettable that you were misled about the finish of the ATG display (and regrettable that Dell cannot provide better information on their website) but I am curious as to whether you find the ATG's display usable nonetheless....
