Replacing glossy screen?

[Ja Di ksw]

Is it possibly to make the 15" screen non-glossy? Replacing it somehow, or putting something on it? I went and looked at them in the store today and the glare was horrible. If I can't replace it somehow I might just go with the 17" and choose the matte option.

There's a rumour suggesting Apple might introduce matte back to the laptop range.

17" has the benefit of the high resolution, if portability isn't too much of an issue.

Colorware PC will do it for around $300. TechRestore is rumored to be introducing the option soon for around $200.

Kilamite - Yeah, I saw that, but I'm on a limited time frame. My computer broke, and I need a new one ASAP. On top of that, I moved to Vienna, Austria, but am about to take a 11 day trip back to the States where the computers are a TON cheaper. I can't really wait, and even if I could, I would have to pay hundreds more to get it in Austria .

thegoldenmackid - Ugh, fairly pricey. Might be worth it, but it would actually cost less to just get the 17"

TechRestore will swap it out for you for $199
Not cheap, but if it bothers you that much check it out.

Question, if I get the 17" with the glossy screen instead, is it set up like the old PowerBook's? Or does it still have the glass in front like the new ones?

The entire current lineup is identical.

Not so. If you do the Matte finish on the 17" they have a silver border. I don't know if they still have glass, though.

No glass. Thankfully.
