    Hello All,

    Is there anyway to improve the visibility of the glossy touch screen? It's useless outdoors and where there are overhanging lights inside. I try to keep it clean but even with max brightness it's like a mirror.

    I am regretting getting the 2k screen as well, scaling issues everywhere, Windows is not ready for a 2k screen of this size. I have scaling set to 200%, is it a better option just to choose half the resolution instead?

    These issues with the screen alone make me want to change this model, the touch is useful sometime but it seems it's more often an issue.

    @Sir Punk you can get a matte screen protector for it. Many people recommend Photodon; application is a pain though, I never got to apply mine without dust particles and scrapped it; however all my devices have semi-matte screens already, and I got a screen protector only to avoid scratches from stylus.
