17" notebook with matte (non-glossy) display?

All I can find are glossy-style displays in 17" notebooks. Can anybody recommend a current or even old but possibly still available model to look at? This is for occasional surfing/etc. in a secondary room so it does not need to be a speed daemon.

Thanks,

I had kind of ignored Dell because with Texas tax their prices are not that great and the Inspiron is way ugly IMHO -- I am so sick of silver noteboks! But I did not realize the base screen was old school. Hmmm...

Why no Gigabit ethernet? I am really surprised this is not standard now. I'd use wireless mostly but every now and then could see jacking into my home LAN to do a big transfer or work on my photos which are on a seperate server where the Gigabit really speeds things up. But it does have DVI out which is another thing I want if I can get it just for future expandability/use.

I also like the Toshiba P100 and HP dv9000t but I think both only come in glossy -- unless I'm reading their literature wrong.

Not sure how big of an external monitor via DVI each could drive.

Dell really gives it to you on XP Pro. $150 vs $59/$79 for HP/Toshiba. Maybe I will just wait for systems with a Vista upgrade coupon to come out. That will likely be $200 saved and perhaps October? Although I doubt I'd switch right away, I would probably eventually.

I wish I did not do .NET programming + have so much darn software for Windows. I might just junk it all for Macs (I do have an old G4), however. Some of the UI bits bug me -- and has since I had a NeXT as my primary workstation a lonnnggg time ago -- but I like the Mach OS and UN*X command shell (vs. Cygwin which I use on Windows).

The 17" MacBook Pro is soooo expensive for my use. I'd have to research boot camp more to know whether I'd have compatability problems.

When I edit my RAW photo files I notice the difference to my RAID5 file server. But there I am a power user. Can't have every feature, that is for sure!

Saw that and thanks. But I don't need all of it's workstation graphics. Based on what I've seen out of the Toshiba P100 and HP dv9000t, I'd not spend more than $1,400 with tax/shipping. Since this is not a primary computer I may even rethink some features (especially DVI and Gigiabit) since those would be occasional use anyway.

I've only been able to see them in stores where the reflections are absolutely horrible. Even of my face in the screen. I suppose you eventually adapt and see through it just like watching a tube TV?

What about eye strain? I hear people talk about this alot. Is this due to the reflections or something else?

I'm someone who tends to keep his LCD brightness lower than most for everyday use, as my eyes get tired easily. And I won't be using this for primary photo editing -- my major hobby -- so better color gamut is not really a big deal to me.

Seems like it's the Dell 9400 if I want matte.
