    People are begging me for images of the glossy screen, so here you go. They're not exactly high quality and I don't think they're representative (especially the dark picture looks 10x worse than in reality) but hey, you're asking. Notice there's some reflection with dark imagery in daytime and light leakage (I think someone called it) at the bottom. It's not the best screen I've ever seen, but it's definitely better than the matte screen on my old ASUS.

    Any idea if the matte screens also suffer the slight light leakage of the glossy screens, as it might help swing my decision on what to buy. Have to say I do like the glossy screens on most laptops I've looked at though.

    Thanks for the pics whorse !

    I also like the glossy screens esthetics-wise however in use I think matte is much better. I ordered mine with matte screen this morning.

    Nice pictures! Thanks for that. It's always good to see things like this and I'm sure a lot of interested prospective Zepto buyers will appreciate this.

    The screen is indeed great. Sharp and bright (with a minimum of light leakage at the bottom).

    If you wanna know more about the screen - it's a Chi Mei N140A1-L01 display (maybe Google will bring up some information for interested ppl).

    Well Google brought me back to this site, which then informed me that its the same screen that is used in the W3J or that has atleast been used in some W3J models anyway. So any reviews of the W3J and its screen quality should give buyers a good idea of what the glossy Zepto screen is like.
