    Are there retail screens that use v4 so I can see firsthand if the glossy bothers me? I got rid of an Alienware M17xR3 because the screen bothered me (one reason) but after seeing other glossy screens I think my issue is with the coating used. I love my 27" IPS Shimian thats glossy. Before I go through the trouble it would be nice if I can just see it in person.
