    If that adds an additional few cents to the cost, notebook manufacturers won't do it!

    Even if manufacturers don't go with it you could probably apply it yourself as an aftermarket upgrade.

    Also, what's to say manufacturers won't use it? I know for a fact that some sony laptops have an anti-glare coating on their screens.

    Exact same reason why they moved from 16:10 to 16:9. A few exceptions doesn't constitute general trend.

    This would be fantastic but might not solve the being-hard-to-clean issue.

    Anti-glare/matte screens are the way to go for all-around use.

    Thanks for the link, I've submitted a news article on this.
