"Glassy" LCD's on Dell Laptops

[grandma]

I was looking at my brother in laws Dell 700m. It has a nice 12 inch glassy look LCD on it. My Dell 9200 doesn't have that glassy lcd. Does anyone know which other Dell monitors do? Preferrably in a 14 or 15 inch size.

TIA

Which display is right for me?

Choosing a screen resolution is like choosing a tool suited for a particular job.

Choose Screen Resolution... If you plan to use your laptop for...

XGA-> Internet, email, word processing
XGA, XGA+ or SXGA+ ->Basic photo editing, PowerPoint, spreadsheets or casual games
SXGA+ or UXGA ->- A mobile DVD player
- Advanced photo editing or gaming
- Computer aided drafting, graphic design, or video editing

* When a "W" appears before the screen resolution , i.e. WXGA, it denotes a wide screen display.

Resolution

Resolution is the number of pixels on the display with the horizontal number shown first, followed by the vertical number (1200 x 800). The pixel number increases with higher resolution SXGA+ and UXGA screens. While the overall appearance of documents and photos is greatly improved with higher resolution, fonts, icons and graphic elements appear physically smaller.

Higher resolutions allow for greater image detail and more workspace, which is great for DVD viewing, gaming, and multitasking, but higher resolutions might not be ideal for those that have difficulty reading text on their monitor since the text and images might be too small.
