Yeah, they only seem to sell matte displays on corporate-priced stuff
worth more than your monthly salary. To people who want quality and
are ready to pay for it. The typical idiot consumer is all wet over
a 19" (wow, big number!) dragtop with a glossy (shineee! my precious!)
finish.
Matte display finish is like green paint: worth more than the device
it is covered with. \end{army joke}
(In theory e.g. the el cheapo Thinkpad SL400 should be available in
matte, but all the shops only seem to carry glossy versions.)
