Yeah, my old Inspiron 8000 has a matte screen and I love it, but I do like movies. But the main reason for the purchase is for documents and Word, so I assume matte will be better for that.
Just don't want bleed, that drives me nuts sometimes if it's really bad. The I8000 had 0 bleed. Love that screen :)

i have the truelife on my e1405 and its just fine fo rme...it does have some leakage, but its not that bad....only on black screens....if i could get it replaced for free...i guess i would...but its so minimal its almost not worth the headache.
I use mine for word, internete, work and mainly school....so its all good.

I wonder if anyone who has the matte screen could comment. is it the TrueLife that causes the leakage? Would matte finish help this?
I think I am going to go matte anyways since the reflections would bother me a lot in a car or outside. While laptops are not the best outside anyways...

From what i've read, the issue with the backlight is that they are only putting one backlight in at the bottom and none at the top at all which would be the cause for the bleeding.
