    Does anybody have one? I am contemplating returning my truelife for a matte screen and was wondering if anybody had one to comment on. Any pics? I simply cannot handle the glare. Thanks.

    I have an M140 with the matte screen, and I like it. (I believe it's an LG, if that matters.) The preference for one over the other would be just that...a personal preference. I've not seen a Dell True Life screen, but my wife has a Sony VAIO with whatever their name is for True Life. It's OK, but like you I'm irritated by the glare and reflections. That's why I went with a matte screen.

    The "best" screen is the one that you personally prefer, of course. My Dell matte screen suits me just fine.
