    I cant find any matte sreens for this latop. Will they be making matte screens for this laptop? Or do I have to wait for the next laptop to replace the 9262 to have the matte screen options?

    So far as I know, the matte screen is no longer available for the NP9262; whether or not it'll be available for the successor model remains to be seen, although if it's no longer offered for the NP9262 because of a lack of interest on the part of most buyers, then it's unlikely to be re-offered on the successor model.

    I dont like the glossy screens because of the glare, it reflects light too much. Is there a way to reduce or get rid of the glare?

    We have been staring at "glossy" screens ever since the first black and white TV was made. If there is a glare, change the angle of the screen or turn off the light. Too easy.

    There are, I believe, screen protectors/sleeves you can get that will in effect "convert" a glossy screen to a matte surface.

    Where can I find one of those? What stores or stores online sell them? Do they really work to stop the glare?

    I read the service manual but it doesnt tell you how to take out the lcd screen or how to put it back on the laptop.
