Leuce, you seem to be a "glass half empty" kind of person...

Photos of most products on the internet today is what is called "Marketing Shots". What that means is that a photo or picture of a product will be taken in such a way as to get the maximum exposure/feedback and/or information through in such a way that it stays in a customers mind for longer because it stands out from the crowd.

That said, TruBrite technology is simply amazing... Having worked on every single one of the Toshiba notebook range with TruBrite technology, you can walk outside and stick the notebook on the roof of your car, sun blazing and you will still be able to see what's going on perfectly clear on the screen...

Using it in an office or home environment, where generated lighting is used, the screens are magnificent and cannot be beaten. DVD's being watched will make you think you're watching it on a smaller TV...

Here is a link to a pdf i found re the TruBrite display of the Qosmio, but the technology is the same regardless of the line... http://za.computers.toshiba-europe.c...en-EN-EMEA.pdf

Okay, you've convinced me...

Hmm, I'm not sure about this. I have stood behind people using such glaring laptops (indoors) and it was quite annoying being able to see my own reflection on the screen, as well as the lights on the ceiling being reflected as well.

But if what you're saying about using it in direct sunlight is anything to go by, then I guess it's a case of "you win some, you lose some". You win by being able to see on the screen outside, and you lose by having to position your screen in such a way that it doesn't reflect too much light into your face. On my HP laptop, I simply can't work outside in the sunlight... but the matt screen means I don't have a problem with glare anywhere.

Halleluja, the man is positive about something!!! hehe

Really try and see what TruBrite is about, you'll be amazed... You will get some glare on any screen, but Toshiba has done something special with their technology! Seeing is believing!

Now I won't even try to pronounce that, lol

I must say, that is one serious piece of fine hardware!

Sorry ChatMaster, must have accidentally deleted the email notification, otherwise I would have answered earlier...

Yup, Toshiba doesn't play around when they want to prove a point... Even though it's not top spec on processing power, it's still more than enough for an office or traveling employee/worker...

Has anyone looked at the site in FireFox and noted the flash media at the bottom of the product pages?
