    Hey guys,

    I recently ordered the DV6T quad edition with the 1080p screen. I just found out yesterday that it has a matte screen, which i cant stand. Specifically, the screen is the AUO B156HW01 v.3. This is the matte screen with 60% gamut and max brightness of 220 nits. I am not happy with this. I really would like the v.7, which is the glossy 95% gamut with 300 nit brightness. At the very least I would like the v.0, glossy, 60% gamut and 300 nit brightness.

    I am not going to reutrn and exchange because they won't rehonor my 30% off coupon. I have searched EVERYWHERE and everyone that claims they have the v7 really only has the lp156wf1(tl)(c1), which is actually more like the AUO v.0, but with crummier quality overall.

    Can someone please help me locate an actual B156HW01 v.7 or V.0 from a reputable dealer.

    Thanks so much!
