    I doubt it. Matte screens aren't usually brighter than glossy (e.g., TrueLife) screens.

    This is only an assumption, though...

    Thats it!
    I've got replacement today. They sorted most of issues, but:
    light leakage on top left of the screen and noise from the LCd which becomes louder when changing brightness. Here we go again!
    They will send an engineer on Thursday to replace a screen.
    After Thursday I hope no problems, anymore !

    Bytheway matte is much better than Trulife.

    One funny thing is tha I returned my laptop last Thursday and they delivered replacement today. Hmmm, hows this possible they said at least 2 weeks.
