    To anyone who has this laptop, what are your opinions on the screen? Is it glarey and reflective? I saw a video of it being played but it was in a dark room, however while there was some reflection it didn't seem too glarey.

    So basically, what is it like in different lighting conditons, i.e. dark, electric lighting, window open behind screen, window open behind user etc. ?

    Because the lappy I have now is pretty bad for glare but I was wondering how the 6625 handles it.

    Has anyone customer bought Zepto's anti-glare filtery thing? Or have any Zepto reps here seen it, and is it better or worse?


    Thankyooou

    Well the screen is glossy, and in my opinion it makes the colours much richer and stronger. That combined with the high resolution makes it a pleasure to look at. I think it handles light quite well although I have not tried it outside yet.

    OK but do you know what it looks like if you have the screen black and a light on in the room? Cos right now on these white pages this laptop looks fine, but if I am on a dark screen I can clearly see my reflection.

    Well there will always be some reflections, I honestly dont notice them. It's like... if you wear glasses, there are reflections on the lenses but you don't notice them. In my opinion the 6625 glossy screen is the best screen I haveever seen :)

    Oookay well I guess all it needs now is for someone to say what they think of the screen film thing. I saw someone saying on the official Zepto forum a while back about how they liked it but it's all in German and I can't really be bothered with all of that.

    As long as it's not angled directly at a Window or bright light it's great. Colours are distinct, it's clear, sharp, bright and really rather wonderful. Excellent screen.
