I have just purchased a laptop computer and I was expecting it, since it was new, to come with a glossy screen. It came with a non-glossy screen instead. It is the Tecra A8- EZ8512. It has a WXGA TFT-active matrix display. Is this good or not? Which type of screen is better, the glossy one or the dull one?

The glossy screen is more reflective, so it is more annoying of reflections bother you. But the picture is slightly crisper.
The non glossy has a diffusive layer over the top which scatters the reflected light. making reflections much less distinct, but this also scatters the light from the LCD slightly blurring the image a small amount.
So, do you want the crispest image, but have to deal with a screen you can shave in, or not to be distracted by what is behind you, but lose a slight sharpness in the image?

The glossy screen will pick up more reflections.

The glossy screen reflects light, which is very annoying. I prefer the non glossy ie. non glare screen 100%. I have just spent months trying new screens, I bought a new HDTV, it has a non glare screen.

No difference in quality or life expectancy. Just personal preference. Glossy screen is fine if you use it in an area that doesn't have glare of room light that might reflect into your eyes. I personally have used both and it doesn't bother me one way or the other, but I wear glasses that have non-glare lenses.
