    It's hard to understand manufacturers fetish for glossy screens on laptops. Reflections cause more eye strain. Not only that but LCD preformance is ruined by the glossy finish which Tom's Hardware web site continuely points out in their test's.

    95% of high preformance Desktop LCD's don't have them, nor do LCD TV's.

    Consumer preference is split down the middle. So why can't I find a laptop anywhere without it?
