    Brightview is a glossy finish--some people like it, others hate it. If you will be working outside or anywhere where there could be glare/overhead lighting, I would recommend against it. It's really nice to watch movies or play games on--or even do office tasks (the colors are brighter, more saturated, etc) as long as you are either in the dark, or somewhere that you will not experience glare.


    It's personal preference- do you want a glossy or matte screen?

    I agree if you are using it outside or very lighted area I would not get it
