    Could any 1 post some pics of A ultrasharp/truelife screen that is outside? People say it is unreadable outside in the sun, just wondering what it looks like. Also maybe if you have a matte screen and a truelife screen, pictures of the 2 screens next to each other so we can see the difference. Thanks

    99.999% of notebook screens are unreadable in sunlight (the other .001% are specialty screens/notebooks that cost a lot more). it doesn't matter if it's glossy or matte, it's unworkable in direct sun.
