Does anyone have experience with the Dell Trulife screens? Are the Dell Truelife screens too shiny or reflective?

I found what some people said on here:

Anyone here feel different?

It sounds like you don't have to pay extra for that on many models, because they end up shipping it to you with that anyway.

I have the 15.4" UltraSharp(TM) WSXGA+ (1680x1050) TFT Display with TrueLife(TM) on my Dell 1520 and have had no problems with its reflectiveness (don't think that's a word but it works). However, I do not have a direct source of light in front of the screen (behind me as I sit at my computer) so this may be the reason. One thing I do notice is a need to clean the screen 3 times a week as it is a dirt magnet-not just dust so you need an LCD cleaner and soft cloth.

I find it no worse on my dell xpsm1210 12" truelife monitor, than any other glossy lcd screen i have seen.

I have 17" true life and it is quite nice. The only problem is that dell's are notorious for light leakage. Mine has a bit of leakage but nothing major. I have seen nicer screens and Much worse.
