...is there such a thing or shall i post this post in a couple of years?
and i'm looking for a pc. any recommendations?

(all that glossy mirror crap must be horrible to work on, right?)

What do you mean by "Good"? High resolution? Reliable build quality? Nice colours?

I've used some Sony Vaio's recently and they have been quite nice to work with, especially since my laptop has a 1024 x 768 screen. Also, IBM tend to have decent screens, but I haven't used a widescreen version.

I think the glossy thing is down to individual taste. Reflections aren't so much an issue, particularly with the ones I have used, but it's the way that colours look much more saturated and vivid than they really are - which is a shock if you are a photographer having digital prints made.

i have a vaio which has a beautiful screen. anti-glare and brilliant.

my GF has a dell inspiron, ugliest screen i've ever seen. i'd go blind in a week trying to use it.

by "good screen" i meant good colour reproduction, viewing angle etc... and generally kind to your eyes... sorry if that wasn't clear.

I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 (17" widescreen, 1920x1200 - TINY) at work now. It's that glossy crap. I don't care for it, to be honest. Color reproduction is decent at best, viewing angle sucks. Contrast is off, too.

glossy....er.... makes me shudder!!... if you live in england there is no point having a glossy screen. Can't sit out side cause it is always pissing it down!
