that glossy surface is glass? well, not all glass is glossy; some is matte. wonder if they really did their homework on this, esp. for pro users. I know places where they don't even want you to sit in front of a monitor with a brightly colored shirt on as the monitor will reflect some of that color, thus altering your judgement as you evaluate what's on-screen.. they have their workers wear a smock or something neutral on top of their bright colors.. reflections from a glossy screen would cause the same/similar problem... nk On Aug 8, 2007, at 6:08 AM, T.L.
