On glossy screens

I recently learned that all Acers have glossy screens. Several reviews have stated that this is a problem, with one going so far as to say working outdoors was "an ordeal". Since, as a netbook, it's going to get used pretty much anywhere, this has pretty much killed my plan to buy an Acer.

Am I making too big a deal out of this? As Acer netbook users, what are your experiences on this particular issue?

Thanks.

 

I've read many reviews stating that the aspire one is great outdoors.

 

Well, I thought I had an alternative in the form of the EeePC 1005HA, but it turns out that too has a glossy screen. It's also more expensive and with less battery life.

I guess I'll find out soon enough if the screen on the D150 is good for me or not...

Thanks.

 

I bought a Dell laptop a couple of years ago, and didn't bother with the £10 option Truelife screen, which is glossy

Having since seen a couple of friends' Dells outdoors, I'd rate this a mistake, as although it seems counter-intuitive until you actually try it, the glossy ones are easier to see

 

On my new Acer Aspire One 250,I can set the screen brightness to more than bright enough to view in bright sunlight.Have you tried that?

 

Moho,

Changing screen brightness on this netbook seems to be a big problem for a number of people on these Acer forums, including myself. No instructions come with the computer. How do you adjust your screen brightness?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Billy.
