Hi all!
I'm patiently waiting for my recently ordered M17x to arrive. So in the mean time I'm doing some extra research. One of the things I keep reading about the M17x laptops is how reflective the screen is. So much so, that some feel it unusable at times. So, I'm a bit worried.
I ordered one with this consideration mainly because where it will reside while I'm doing 90% of my use/gaming there should be little for it to reflect. But, the other 10%, or if it ends up being still to much in the original 90% of use, I'm wondering what to do. Seriously, I'd prefer to see pretty graphics rather than my ugly mug! I'm not a big fan of reflective screens anyway, but consider many other factors as more important than how flashy the screen surface is.
A quick Google search turned up a few sites like this:
http://www.photodon.com/mm5/merchant...egory_Code=DLL
Does anyone have any experience with these? I've used quite a few film covers on cell phones, and I do know they can be a pain to install on small screens. So, I'm expecting a real work-out to install one on a 17" screen. Also, the link above only shows normal Dell laptops. Does anyone know of a maker specifically for Alienware screens?
Personally I still can't understand why most all desktop LCD screens have matte or non-reflective finishes, yet laptops still have shiny disturbing reflective ones?
Just doesn't make sense.
Thanks!
