How can I make my laptop screen less reflective?
on: March 18, 2011, 02:24:02 pm
Yeah so I have this new laptop and I've been wondering for a while why I've been having trouble reading from it sometimes, and I now realise it's because it's really shiny and reflects everything. is there a way to fix this without scratching up the screen with sandpaper?

*shrugs* Congratulations for buying a laptop with glassy panel. Next time, make sure it has matte panel. I hate glassy panels. I don't know but there might be anti-reflection plastic sheets that cover the display to counter those reflections. Where to find these things, don't know.

There certainly are anti-glare screen protectors available online. Try Amazon and e-Bay:

You should be able to find one for yours if you know the exact dimensions of your screen and/or search by model number.

Don't be a sissy and just do this already. :p

Is that a normal towel? If not, can I buy these on amazon or ebay?

You should experiment with various blanketing items and make a plot of item cost vs. optical absorptivity.  Maybe make a third axis for comfort.  Snuggies would do great there. :3

Use some of you mother's hosiery (i.e. put a pair of tights/stockings over the screen)
