    Does anyone have a solution to eliminating the awful glare from the Studio 1535 screen?

    It's a glossy screen; almost all mainstream laptops, with the exception of some business level computers which feature matte screens, sport a glossy screen.

    There really is no way around it other than to change the lighting or the location of the computer.

    THe only way round it then would be to replace the screen with a matte one.

    what's the downside (other than added expense) of a matte screen vs a glossy. Thinking of upgrading my screen in the near future so I'd be interested in any differences
