    Hello everybody,

    My uncle got the Aspire 5672. I loved the type of screen so much. It looked like a sort of mirror when it wasn't on. I'm going to buy me a new laptop and wanted to make sure it had that type of screen. So what name of screen am I looking for in the laptop specifications?

    Acer calls it "CrystalBrite". Other manufacturers have similar sort of name for their glossy screen LCD's.

    HP calls it - Brightview
    Dell - Ultrabright/Trulife (one of those 2, I think)
    Sony - XBrite or XBlack
    Asus - Colorshine
    Toshiba - Trubrite
    Lenovo - Vibrantview
    Gateway - Ultrabright
    Fujitsu - Crystalshine
    MSI - Glare Type/Super Glare

    What miner said and they are also called Glossy, reflective, and transflective as well. Dell calls them Trulife - if it doesn't say Trulife - it's the typical matte screen (like your usual LCD monitor). Acer calls them crystalBrite. Basically this is what you have the same few terms but mix and match them

    Tru ----------------- Brite
    Clear ----------------Shine
    Ultra ----------------View
    X ------------------Life
    Crystal
