    I'm sure someone out there sells a add-on high contrast glare screen (ala: brightview, crystalview, truebright, etc)... that I can add to my old existing 15" laptop screen?

    They used to sell those kinds of glarescreens for CRT monitors years and years ago - I'm wondering if anyone sells a decent screen add-on for laptops?

    THANKS.

    Actually what I'm thinking of is more of a shield, or glass that goes over my existing working screen... I just replaced the LCD inverter in this laptop - after its been sitting for 1+ year, and bought my wife a new 17" laptop (HP with Brightview)... and I seem to remember before, NEC sold a monitor and an add-on glarescreen that looked about the same (dark to add contrast)... but it was an OVERLAY onto the existing monitor.

    Thats kinda what I was hoping to find... Something I could overlay on-top-of my existing working lcd screen.
