Is there anyway to get one?
I haven't seen resellers offering them except for the big name brand companies.
Why do most of these 15.4 inch displays come with matte screens? What is the advantage?

Matte screen is anti glare. The advantage of matte is much less reflection.

Yes, if you want glare, you can get a glossy. There's the V6VA with similar specs to the Z70VA.

Anti-glare screen? The Z70Va is a matte screen, which means it's normal, not the new glare-type or reflective screens, as zazonz has stated.

It's also a widescreen type, with a high-res' 1680x1050 screen, it's awesome

The V6Va has similar specs to the Z70Va, but it is a normal aspect ratio screen without the widescreen, and it's a glossy type, but I think you can still get the matte screen version, V6V, as the V6Va is really new.

Get the Z70Va~!!! If you want a glossy screen, just tape the plastic screen protector that comes with it to the screen.

Cheers,
Mike
