    This is the discription on Sager website:-

    15.6" Full HD LED-Backlit Display with Super Glossy Surface (1920 x 1080)

    Is this the screen type that is mirror like and reflect light? I hope it is not, I hate reflective screen.

    I am confused with the word glossy and glare used in lcd term... :confused:

    Thank you.

    Yes Glossy screens have a reflective surface. If you want a Non reflective screen you may want to look at the 8130 which has a Matte Screen. Matte screen are non reflective.

    Another option would be to purchase one of those overlays on the market that can take allot of the reflectiveness off of a glossy screen.

    uh, just read the 8130 spec, no extreme processor and no 485...

    Aww i want Matte screen for 8150!
    So far it seems only Mysn XMG P501 offers that. I hate the big "XMG" words at the outer casing...
    Eurocom is silent, cougar 2.0 is not found on the website till now and details not available. (?)

    Check out photodon.com for anti-reflective covers. I plan on ordering one for the NP8170. I'll be sure to do a write up on it when I get it.
