    Does this come with a matte screen or glossy? If glossy, does anyone know of any HP that comes with a matte screen?

    thanks!

    There's no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers, and I have one, I don't know. :eek: You could contact HP sales and ask. :)

    Only matte. There are no current plans for glossy options.

    If memory serves me right, pretty much all the HP Compaq business notebooks use matte standard, however, I believe that some of the more base models have a glossy screen option with LED.
