Looking at picking up 15" High-res anti-glare, anyone do the same?

So I had the 15" 2011 2.2Ghz HIgh-res glossy which is a beauty all in its own right. But I sort of got hooked on using a 15" Anti-glare for work and looks really solid all the way around. One thing I always worry about with traveling with my MBP is the glass getting scraped or scratched or cracked, etc. ontop of some of the light glare.
I was curious did anyone make the trade off and pick up a anti-glare high res instead of the standard high-res glossy?
Do you like itmore or less? How is the color production for editing movies and playing games like portal or other steam games?
Is it less weight not having the glass panel attached in day to day travel use?
easier to clean?
thanks in advanced!

I tried to delete this but I don't see how.
I don't need this question answered anymore because I found a flex model at office depot. I ordered it this morning because they give me 14 days to return it if I don't like it and they don't charge a restocking fee. It's very good that Lenovo doesn't have the same return policy. I'd probably order a number of things I don't really need, fall in love with them and wind up spending way too much money on things I don't need.
It's also a bit cheaper -- $600 for:
Flex 2 15.6" 1080p display
4th Gen i5
6 GB Ram
1TB Hard disk
DVD optical drive
Seems inexpensive (if it's truly good quality). Very curious to see what you get for $600. (My lenovo twist cost $992 and it only has a 12.5" display). So...I'm not expecting much. I'm just looking for a backup laptop in case of an emergency. My desktop monitor and some hard disks are getting old. I'd like to be able to do something breaks.

Is there any way to get a glass cover for my high res anti glare display?

This may sound silly but I wasn't expecting the high res anti glare macbook pro to not have a glass cover over it. to many this might not be an issue, but I need to be able to use a digital drawing pen over top the surface of my monitor. My previous macbook was the first of the unibodies from 2008 and that works fine. But I guess I should have gone with the hi res glossy. So are there any solid screen protectors available or am I going to have to see about returning this computer. :|

Why don't you instead just use a piece of rounded edge glass in the rare times when your doing that?
Your one of the very few that has to actually draw on their screen, most use a drawing pad Walcom tablet, iPad or import a scan or image into Adobe Illustrator rather than hold their hand up to the screen for hours.
Don't you know you can command shift 3 or 4 to snapshot a image of anything on the screen? SnapZ Pro X will record video?
Seems to me your doing things the wrong way.
The anti-glare MacBook Pro is awesome when you take it to various places and can still see the screen and can't adust the enviroment to suit.

High Res/ Anti-glare display vs. New Retina

I bought (via Apple Hong Kong) my beefed-up 15" MPB with the High Resolution/ Anti Glare display last November and the quailty is outstanding.
Considering the display quality only has anyone compared the two side by side? If so, I would be curious to hear your opinions and thoughts.
Regards,
P.s I should also mention that I am an American living and working in Sai Gon (aka Ho Chi Minh City) Vietnam and although Apple products do make it here the lag time is several months, hence the inabiltiy to see for myself.

Macbook pro core i7 high res anti-glare screen garbled graphics

My two month old macbook pro consistently (once every day or two) produces a garbled up screen after using it for a few hours. The only way to resolve this is to restart the computer. I've talked with apple support and have gone into the store for help and so far everyone is clueless and offer no real advice. I can't take a screenshot on the machine once this occurs, the picture just comes up blank, but I did take pictures with my cellphone.

Has anyone else had a similar issue and is this most likely a graphics hardware error?

Drm31078, it sounds like you've made up your mind what the problem is and decided to wait for it to fix itself. In light of ryanfitz's experience, which now indicates that the problem occurs when using each of his two GPUs, I question your conclusions that there's a graphics switching problem and that Apple's basic software is at fault, simply because there are thousands of other users with the same machine and the same Apple software who aren't seeing the same behavior. Therefore, I recommend that you run the extended Apple Hardware test repeatedly in hopes that it will eventually detect an intermittent hardware fault, bearing in mind that if there's a fault in the video cable or the LCD panel, AHT can't and won't detect it. And I recommend showing your pictures to a Genius or an authorized service technician for evaluation. A single Apple employee's failure to detect a hardware problem is not conclusive evidence that none exists, and I don't think there's any good reason to dismiss that possibility out of hand on the basis of what you've seen and heard so far.

Is the new 2011 MBP Hi Res Anti Glare screen actually LED

Last time around, my friend bought an antiglare hi res MBP but found that when he received it, it did not have LED tech... it was LCD like the old models. After speaking with Apple they told him that what true and allowed him to exchange for gloss since the site did not say this anywhere.
Is the current MBP the same way or has Apple sorted out how to make the high rez display both anti glare AND LED?

You're absolutely right. I bought a 2010 15" hi-res anti-glare MacBook Pro and found the panel to be significantly darker than that of the regular 1440x900 screens. So what I did was return the laptop and purchased a 13" MBA. After comprehensive testing, I've concluded the 2010 13" and 11" MBAs to be the brightest (led backlight-wise) of all Apple laptops. Unfortunately, not so much contrast as the MBAs have worse viewing angles than the Pros.
It's hard time information like this elsewhere, but for all else looking for a Mac with the brightest screens here's a list:
2010 MacBook Air > 13" MBP > 15" & 17" MBP > 15" MBP Hi-Res > 15" MBP Hi-Res Anti-Glare > 13" MB
I'm still waiting until Apple unifies all 15" to Hi-Res next year (hopefully) before making the jump.

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won't launch apps. When asked say "launch Facebook" Siri responds with "it doesn't look like you have an app named Facebook" and I get the same results when trying to launch any

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

I recently upgraded iPhone4S to iOS7. Now photos on my phone look like photo negatives; all colors are a ghostly contrast. The same is true for icons of downloaded apps. What can I do?

Will there be an anti-glare screen for the new MacBook Pro?

Hi j,
Apple rarely announces upcoming hardware upgrades, so we'll probably just have to wait and see if that's something that happens in the future with the retina line. In the meantime, you can express your desire for one here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

24"iMAC panel much higher quality than 23" Acd, its the same as Samsung ?

Hi!
According to my research on 24" LCD panels, they almost all use samsungs S-PVA screen, including 244t, Dell 2407WFP , Acer, HP, etc etc..
I notice a huge jump in quality compared to the 20" or 23" ACD, mainly due to the lack of grainy/sparkly/video noise/screen door type layer of the former screens.
Can you confirm that this is indeed a samsung panel?
The ACD's are LG's on IPS.
Well whatever it is, I can't believe how wonderful this display looks, its the first time I can say that a display can replace a CRT. And its much sharper to boot.
I found an almost undying similarity to the 244t by Samsung, and I'm interested in getting that to accompany my MAC pro.

I just came to my local Apple dealer to get help and they have never encountered this before. Questions they asked that made it less clear for them; they were shot in jpeg and I have exported using every setting all yielding the same results.
This sounds to be a software issue and I encourage Apple's staff to investigate it.

Infoview pick list values and CR parameter values are not the same

Hello All
We have created created Crystal Reports based upon BW Query using Static Parameters as recomended by SAP. When we run the query in InfoView the Pick List is dynamically updated and returns the correct data for selection. When The Crystal Report opens and you wish to navigate through the report using the parameter selection the selection criteria has not been maintained by BW and does not match the Pick List.
Can you please advise if there is any way to make this work?
We ar using Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.3.1.684
on BOBJ XI 3.1
Any help would be appreciated,
Phillip

Hello Ingo
What is strange that in InfoView the pick list is only dynamic the Parameters when the document is open (in InfoView) are not dynamic. An example would be Searching on Material. In Info view the pick list provides all the materials to select from. Once though the report is open the parameter list on the left hand side could be seen as blank as it refers to the static list that is not manually maintained within Crystal Reports or provide a list of details that has no reference to the dynamic selection as returned from BW as it is a static list that was loaded with Crystal Reports Designer on creation.
What we are wanting to achieve is that Info View Pick List is Dynamic and the Parameter list that can be used to navigate within the document once opened is dynamically refreshed to be the same as the Pick List provided by BW and InfoView.
Is this possible?
With CR Designer if we use Do Not Show, Info View no longer provides this parameter on the left hand side.
If we use Editable the list provided in InfoView is equal to the static list as maintained within CR Designer.
We have not tested Read Only Yet so I am not sure if this could be the solution or not.
Any ideas would be of great benefit

Where to find readily-available high-res MBP 15' in Hong Kong ?

Hi, I need either a new or a refurb 15" MB in HK with a high-res anti-glare screen.
Any ideas in which store I can find one?
I tried DG but they only have the 2.8 CPU version that sells for HKD $23k, I'm looking for something that will cost me max. HKD $19k
The problem is - it has to be readily available for purchase in a store, as I'm leaving town in 48hrs.
Thank you in advance!

It seems obvious that you have tried _http://store.apple.com/hk_
Maybe that is DG?

What gives the best contrast and sharpness in text and reading documents on macbook pro with Hi-res screen, glossy or anti glare ?

HI,
I consider buying a MacBook pro 15 with hi-res screen.
My primary use is text editing and document reading (primarily Word).
I want as good as possible "clearness" or is it called contrast, leat blurry looking text.
Anyone who has any experience and/or opinion on this.
Thanks for your answer.
Terje

If I were you, I would opt for the high-res/anti-glare option - it's only $100US now: back when I purchased my MBP in March of 2012, it was a $250 option which I just couldn't afford. Now, looking at the new models side-by-side, I wish that I had ponyed up the $250 for the HR/AG option.
I'm certain that you won't regret it - the people that have the option seem to be tickled pink with it. These days I'm using a (glossy) 17" Apple Thunderbolt Display 90% of the time in a semi-dark room. But I find that my MBP with the glossy screen is simply unusable when outdoors or in bright backlighting.
Go for it...

Anti glare screen - put glossy glass over it?

Hi all
I recently bought a 15" MBP with a high res anti glare screen - I noticed that the screen dosent have the glas front "cover" like my 13" MBP glossy has.
Is it possible to put this glass on the anti glare screen? I know that the silver alu frame has to be removed from the antiglare screen. But the question is - is it possible and has anyone done it?
Thanks Christian

Wow, I've never seen glitches like those before.
When I first got my late 2008 MacBook Pro, I had some "hiccups" with the video card which made it freeze when I used my iTunes visualizer and etc.
Apple replaced the internal components, and so far I haven't had any graphic related problems.
I'd say, Take it back to Apple if you have time to leave it for further testing.
From the looks of it, I believe they should replace the mother board (at least that's what they did for me when I had graphics glitches)
Hope everything works out for you!

Is there any store that sell MBP with anti-glare display?

I googled, but I can't find any store which sell those version. Is those version sell only at Apple Store?
My location is in Japan now.
