    Hi guys ,

    I need your assistance regarding the Sony Vaio F23 display .
    I intend to buy a specific model sold in store ( this one : JR.com: Sony VAIO VPCF234FX/B 16.4" Notebook PC - Black in PC Notebook Computers ) that has a Full HD Anti-glare display . Is it Sony's "Premium" display ?

    An other one that I'm considering is Sony's F23 gaming bundle ( this one : JR.com: Sony VAIO VPCF23JFX/BC 16.4" Gaming Notebook PC - Black in PC Notebook Computers ) that I know for sure that has a glossy and not anti-glare display . Does it means that it is not "Premium" but only "Plus" ?

    Thanks in advance !

    The F series in US only comes with one type of display - Vaio Display Premium MATTE/ Anti glare.
    There is no glossy screen Vaio display plus F series sold in US AFAIK.

    Yes, that is what I knew too , that all the F23 models sold in US are including a "Premium" display .

    But then I called Sony and I found that what they are selling as Sony Vaio F23 Gaming bundle that is a F23 model ( 6G RAM , 500G HD 7200 rpm , nvidia 540 + Battlefield 3 + Sony headphones ) has a glossy screen and it is not Premium ...
    You can find this product here : 16.4" VAIO F Gaming Laptop | VAIO F Series Gaming Bundle | VPCF23JFX/BC | Sony USA
    or here :
    JR.com: Sony VAIO VPCF23JFX/BC 16.4" Gaming Notebook PC - Black in PC Notebook Computers

    According to the sales person that I spoke with , it has a glossy "Sony Standard" display because they consider that a such display is better for gaming proposes ...and this specific model is supposed to be used for gaming .
    So it looks like not all the F23 displays sold in US are "Premium" and from here my question if the 'anti-glare" means "Premium" because "glossy" looks to be "Sony Standard " and not Premium , even if it sold in US.
