    Hi sorry to cheat you in here but i am in dire straights.

    I need to know what your dv6 or 7 glossy screen is like outdoors.
    When i say outdoors i mean inside a vehicle out of direct sunlight.

    I do(did) a lot of A. Watching dvd and some typing in my van and the old matte screen was okay for me. Would i get away with the new glossy screens as i have my eye on a hp and have fell in love with it.

    Be quick though as i need to order it today :) I will of course dance at our wedding for you.

    Kind regards.
    The Jedinator.

    it was bad when i had my old DV6 that had a quad core AMD CPU and 6750 gfx and it was just horrible in sunlight. Reflections were bad too and I when i was in the car it reflected badly unless it was night. Really, The 720P and 1600x900 HP glossy screens suck in comparison to the matte 1080P. The 1080P is a world better and wont reflect sunlight.
