Non reflective screen cover?

I don't know where I read it but I was sure that there is an option with the MacBook to make the screen non-reflective. Currently I have a glossy screeen and although its great, it reflects any light from behind and that's anoying.
Maybe it was a SONY laptop?

supposedly the glossy screen had better color saturation (deeper blacks) but having checked both out with my son, we decided a non-reflective MBP. I don't believe there is an impact on color gamut, although it may be perceived that way.
Unless your work environment has uniform light with no direct light whatsoever (incl. overhead fluorescent, incandescent, daylight ....), you will be plagued with patches of reflected light shining in your eyes. The bottom line? We found a glossy screen worthless for our work environment.

Glossy or Non-reflective Screen

Anyone here used both the anti-glare (older more common) Laptop Screen and the new optional glossy laptop screen you can get as an option on the MacBook Pros for photo editing?
I was looking at both today and indeed the glossy screen does seem have a bit more umph, contrast, saturation.
However, I am paranoid about the screen glare.
Does anyone know if one or the other has a better color-gamut? I have profiling hardware just wondering if one screen or the other has a better range to work with?
I know both screens are much brighter then the old G4 powerbooks, but would the glossy screen or the anti-glare screen be better in a bright enviroment? Outside?
Thanks.

A Google or internet search is your friend.
Do a search for "iPad anti-glare".

Glossy vs. Non-Glossy Screen - How can you tell?

Hi,
If someone came to you on the street with a MacBook Pro, how can you tell if he/she had a glossy or non-glossy screen? Is there something in System Preferences or something that tells you directly? Or do you have to tell by just looking?
Thanks.

Only way is by looking. Just look at the dislay at an angle, and if you see a reflection it's glossy.

IPad 2 anti reflective screen - can you read in the sun?

How good is this new screen? I favor my Kindle over my original iPad because of the glare factor...wondering how good the anti reflective screen is on the new iPad 2?

I found this from the More like this box on the right.
I use the screen cover from this site http://www.powersupportusa.com/accessories/ipad-2/hd-anti-glare-film.html
works great, but I won't lie and say it's a 100% but it's the best I've found to combat the glare from direct sun.
I have a very difficult time using my iPad in bright sunlight with no anti glare screen protector on it. Here are some more that you can check out.

Can a touch screen be replaced with a non-touch screen? Still struggling to Find the answer

Can a touch screen be replaced with a non-touch screen? Still struggling to Find the answer.
My son has a 3 month old laptop with a touchscreen. Unfortunately he cracked the screen. The actual picture is fine, but the screen cover is cracked. After much searching we found the replacement cost…..all in is some $500. I am trying to find out if the screen can be replaced with a non touch screen. This will save him $250. I cannot seem to get the answer from HP, despite having been a client for many years.
He ordered the HP Pavilion dv6t Select Edition customizable Notebook PC. The product number is XC102AV.
It also shows a product number ww146av . The connector is on the bottom left of the screen.
I am pretty sure that the part number, per the manual, is 631019-001
I had been getting helpful replies from “Erico”, but have not heard back on this issue.

Hi,
I am still waiting for an answer as well. I haven't forgotten you. Since it is just after the holiday period perhaps an answer will come reasonably soon.
Best regards,

What is the diffrence between an OEM screen and a Non-Oem screen?

i wanted to buy a new screen for my ipod because my brother cracked it. so i was wondering wat was the difrence between an OEM and a non-OEM screen? like is there a diffrence on the pixels?

Really.
I believe the OP was concerned about some fly-by-night outfit who makes a ten cent piece of replacement screen and markets it as "compatible with xxxx". The lack of quality and reduction in resolution/pixels could be expected there vs. an OEM screen where one expects the same quality as the original equipment had.
Yeah, that's a given. The point is, OEM can be used two different ways. One way is to say the parts are Apple branded. Toshiba might make the part following specifications supplied by Apple, and then the part gets a label that says Apple. In this case Apple is the OEM.
The other way is to say that the OEM is the company that makes the part for Apple. In this second case, the factory could make a run of parts for the 'aftermarket' and use the term "OEM" in their add copy and not be guilty of fraud.
However, just because a Chinese vendor says their parts are "OEM," does not make it so. In fact, I would think that only Foxconn and its suppliers could make that claim, and I seriously doubt Foxconn is dumping parts on eBay....
HINT: China is notorious for producing counterfeit goods.

HT3775 I NEED I TUNES FOR A 64 BIT PC. OPERATING SYSTEM IS WINDOWS 8, NON TOUCH SCREEN. WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTELY BEST WAY TO GET ITUNES OPERATING CORRECTLY ON MY PC????//I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS, NONE OF WHICH ARE WORKING. IS ITUNES DELIBERATELY EXCLUDI

I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

IPhone-style track select to Full Screen Cover Flow!

I'd love to be able to click a cover in Full Screen Cover Flow to flip it around and select the album track to play. Just like in iPhone! And maybe even give stars there. Please Apple! It would make the FC-option even more useful and browsing my CD's very visual experience.

How to switch from glossy to non-glossy screen (2010 model)

I will only have access to an Apple Store or AASP in the next week. In the mean time, I'm wondering if there's any reason to this:
I had a 2007 Macbook Pro 15" on Apple Care, which was close to expiring. The computer wasn't functioning properly, so I took it to an Apple Store and they tried to repair it. A few days later, I go back there and I get the news that my Macbook Pro won't even turn on anymore, so they give me the new 2010 Macbook Pro 15" as a free replacement. My old one had a matte (non-glossy) screen, but they informed me they didn't have any ones with matte screen to give to me at the time. Since I needed the computer on that day, I had to take one with a glossy screen home.
That happened on May. Now, I'm finally able to have access to an Apple Store, so I wonder how I can get my Macbook Pro to have a matte screen. I believe I have the right to have a matte screen, but it has been to long.

Hi Roberto,
This question can only be answered by Apple. This is a user-to-user forum and the question you're asking is related to the policies and procedures for unit replacements handled by Apple. Typically, from my experience, when Apple offers a unit replacement the one you get is... the one you get. If the matte screen was that critical, then you should have asked to have it ordered and waited.
Perhaps Apple can exchange your replacement computer (after 3 months), but again that question can only be answered by Apple.

Dead pixel or Dirt under screen cover?

Hello,
I have one (1) dead pixel on my Ipod touch 4 gen screen, it is dead - due to it is always black, and never change it's position/color. Have checked it with some ipod app, changing colors, and "trying to" fix stuck pixels aswell.
After that - I sent Ipod for repairs, but the've sent it back, because thay said they couldn't find any dead pixels (probably checking with software?).
i'm not very keen on it, but it does a little worse, when reading books..
Maybe it is dirt under the cover of the screen, but indeed, I don't like it. So maybe there is a service (at my cost probably) to change the screen cover, due to the fact, that it has some marks on it (bought screen cover protector not so early).
Pictures showing the "spot", not so sharp though...
http://s50.radikal.ru/i128/1107/33/0ad204893784.jpg
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to everyone..

If you have an Apple store nearby, I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Yu can show them the problem.
This place will replace it for $80.

What is best to wash/clean iMac glass screen cover?

I have used Glass Cleaner to clean smudges/finger prints off my iMac glass screen cover. I keep getting swipe marks instead of a sparkeling clean screen. Anybody have a better product?

Water only applied to a damp cloth per your owner's manual:
