Samsung NC10 Special Edition - Glossy or Matte?
March 10, 2009
A few days ago, I mentioned that the “Special Edition” Samsung NC10 (NC10-11PBK) that’s available exclusively through Amazon.com had a price drop (down to $469) and had started shipping to those who pre-ordered it.
The NC10-11PBK has a 6-cell high capacity battery that boosts the battery life up to around 9 hours or so, along with a larger touchpad than the typical NC10.
Something else that it has is a slightly different display, and it’s caused some confusion.
Early reports were that the glossy anti-reflection coating is a matte display instead.
So is the display glossy or is it matte?
I contacted Samsung directly, and this is what I was told:
According to our marketing team, the screen on the NC10-11PBK is a glossy screen. Due to the anti-reflective nature of it, it appears to many users as a matte screen. It comes down to user opinion on whether or not the screen is glossy or matte, as it could easily be referred to as either.
It’s glatty! Or mlosse.
If it looks matte, in what sense is it glossy? Stupid marketing team.
