So you aren’t too hot on a tablet MacBook Pro, but want your favorite notebook to stand out from the crowd? Why not give TechRestore a try – after all, they have started to offer a matte finish screen replacement service for owners of the 15″ unibody MacBook Pro. This is a welcome move from TechRestore as there are people who have long complained that the glossy screens on the newer range of MacBook Pros are not as readable compared to its predecessors, especially under direct sunlight. Here’s an explanation from TechRestore on what exactly they’ll do to your MacBook Pro when you send it in.
“In order to replace the super-shiny screen with a traditional matte (anti-glare) screen, we remove the glass screen cover (you know, that mirror-like glass you have been seeing your reflection in), then we remove the glossy LCD (LED backlight) screen. We then replace the glossy screen with a matte-finish screen that has the exact same specifications as the original; same resolution, same colour depth, same LED backlight…you get the idea.”
The service will cost $199 in the US, consisting a 24-hour turnaround installation of a new replacement LCD screen, free return shipping and a 1-year warranty on parts and labour.
