    The "film" can not be removed without destroying the LCD. You may want to look into obtaining a non-touch version of the same system.

    Good luck.

    U2711 remove anti glare, not that I recommended it but you get the idea.
    If it fail, I guess you can swap a glossy screen.

    There are some guides on how to do it, but it is very risky.

    Once you remove the anti glare surface, you are exposing the polarizer, so you must be ready with a new screen protector to protect the screen.

    Here is a link to someone who successfully done it on a laptop screen:

    I also have 2 matte screens that I want to do, but they seems risky to me.

    If anything the anti-glare film makes the screen _more_ usable in sunlight, the two important things for actually using a notebook computer under natural light is a matte surface and strong backlight.
    The problems are that you have a touchscreen layer (reduces backlight, increases glare) combined with the computer using a cheap TN display panel.
