    Can anyone recommend an anti-glare or matte screen protector? I use my laptop (HP DV6700) in my car for navigation and the glare is pretty annoying and I'm leaving for a 3K mile trip on Friday, so no time for shipping. Hopefully someone can recommend something as I don't have time to hit every computer store before I leave. Thanks for any help.

    I believe that 3M makes some screen protectors/glare reducers.

    The only frame-less filter is a privacy filter. It says it has some anti-glare properties and it may be my only shot considering the short notice. It looks like they sell them at Best Buy, I think I'll pick one up and see how it does in the car. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Where can I find plastic foil? I'm not familiar with that product.
