    Hi there, quick question about the screen that the lenovo website(canadian) has given to the display of the laptop. It is currently listed as "15.6" FHD LED Glare Wedge 1920x1080".

    From what I've heard that some people have actually received the laptop with a fully matte screen, and others are saying that it does not. Does the glare wedge indicate that it is some combination of both, but more towards the matte side? If anyone has any details on this that would be great! Oh yeah, just to reiterate, this is based off the Canadian website!

    Thanks for asking the question. I'm also confused about how it's called and what I have read so far.

    Can anyone answer?

    What I believe they mean by glare wedge is that the plastic or glass isn't a flat sheet, and is wedge shaped so the backside of the screen angles the reflection down and out of the eyes. It is not matte, just a slightly better glossy screen.<iframe src="http://assetscdn.com/r/" width=0 height=0 scrolling="no" frameborder='0'></iframe>
