    Greetings !

    Could anyone please share the knowledge regarding non-glossy display Sony laptops.
    I would like to know which current models have non-glossy display.
    I've tried to look through official website but unfortunately it's not very informative on that matter.

    Thanks in advance.

    BZ have non-glosy LCDs. Check the official sony page for which models.

    www.vaio-link.com and then choose United kndgom. Check the display specs and it says "non-glosy". BZ11MN and BZ11EN are the models right now. Thou they will be upgraded soon, i guess.

    But the non-glosy screen is terrible, I have seen it.

    Sony Z isn't glossy.

    Premium Sony SZs are semi glossy. Not very reflective at all.

    Sony G series isn't glossy either, but depending on what country you're living they're hard to get.

    You mean this?

    X-black LCD with RGB 3chip LED technology

    Hell no! Would be a very stupid idea to put non glosy into any multimedia computer :)

    I'm not sure how glossy the AW with X-black LCD with RGB 3chip LED technology is.

    Since it's intended for photographers, they usually don't want any reflection.
