    I know that the company is known for (how to put this in a politically correct way) misinforming the potential buyers in the past. Still, would like to know what's going on. They do offer the anti-glare screens option for the D900F.
    Does anyone know if it's true and if yes, what type of screen is it? Do they simply put some filters/films to the glossy surface or do they actually have a proper matte (built-in) screens?
    If there's anyone who has such a screen, could you tell me your impression?

    Thank You.

    Not just misinforming them, but blatantly lying to customers, knowingly ripping them off and deceiving multiple customers on multiple occasions as well as breaking Canadian law on several of those occasions.

    Seriously.. Stay away from them. The links in my sig say it all.

    I was just curious, and hoping some reliable resellers has that option and it's real. But guess, I wish too much.
    Thanks, m8.

    If anyone else is even thinking of ever dealing with this company, just remember this quote -

    I can ask mySN if there will be getting some anti-glare screens for the D900F or if Clevo offers them as an option though mySN may not. Wanna write them anyway about the CPU fan sticker thing...

    Aikimox, you might want to try contacting AET solutions and asking if they offer the D900F with a matte screen. I believe if you buy it from AET you will only pay GST as well. A few people here in the Clevo forum have also successfully gotten AET to price match XoticPC too.

    Thanks, though I'm not in a rush. There's plenty of time till SB. If the W510 has a decent screen it might sooth my urge for bigger guns for a while.
    That's what made me wonder if it's a scam (what eurocom claimed) or not.

    eurocom always seem to break nda rules and advertise new releases and upgrades way before everyone else BUT its only a ploy to get sales in first but then they seem to be almost last to get their first deliverys in.

    i know this doesnt help much with your screen enquiry so if i were you i would contact some other suppliers first just to see if they can offer that screen.
