    as hp poland haven't answered me and every shop says something totally illogic (eg "it's matte glare with antiglare coating" :p) i wanted to ask people here...

    8510w comes with wsxga+ and wuxga screens - unfortunately wuxga version on average costs us$400 more. so the wsxga+ screen would be best, but what type of screen do they use? matte?

    OK, post edit. The HP 8510W only uses matte screens (which have indeed an antiglare coating, but they're still not called matte glare). The upgrade from WSXGA+ to WUXGA in US is 75$ (configurator), but the price of the pre-built units is way higher.
    I have only seen two versions here (both in two versions, with either XP or Vista) of the 8510W: one with T7500 and WSXGA+ and one with T7700 and WUXGA. The price difference is indeed around 400$. Yet, a similar configuration would cost more in the US (when it's customized).

    i guess hp poland seems to do like a lot of sci-fi stories... just got another email - the 112ea product was described by the tech support/sales as "glossy (glare type) anti-glare 15.4" wsxga+ screen"... yeah, i know, seems more of a joke :D than an answer from hp representatives, but i just started to think if there is a chance that 8510w is offered here with glossy screen?
