    I did, but it was a complicated way of doing it, haha. I used a 14.1 inch matte screen and then removed that glossy bezel totally. Lot of work. Worth it.

    I have thought about that and have read they help a bit, but it still seems like a bandaid solution to me. I would rather remove the glossy bezel completely and replace it with a matte version. I am actually pretty surprised nobody has done this (except the dude that cut out the glossy bezel which I am unwilling to do.
