    Looking at the the Lenovo order page it lists the display as having an "Anti-Glare Wedge" whereas a few weeks ago it was a "Glare Wedge".

    Does anyone know if this means the screen is now matte?

    Look again at the order page, it has been revised to say the screen is glossy.

    I thought Lenovo had got the screen right with this model.

    You know. I originally had tried to get a 650m sli model and the glare was oppressive. I recently got the newer 750m version and the first thing I noticed was lack of glare. Sure, I can still see reflections but it doesnt seem nearly as bad. Thought I was making this up in my head but perhaps Lenovo changed panels.
