A1080 monitor -- glossy or anti-glare confusion
« on: December 18, 2014, 06:55:47 PM »
Many years ago (1997ish) I lost my original 1080 monitor.  It was failing, I couldn't repair it anymore, and so i ditched it.  (I've since learned how to repair it, but that's besides the point.)

In any event, the 1080 I had, had an anti-glare screen, slightly frosted.

Recently, an opportunity presented itself for me to get another, fully working 1080 for $30, so I jumped on it.  My A1000 will love to see an old friend again.

However, this one has a glossy screen.  It otherwise looks the same as I remember, although the power button doesn't have "POWER" embossed into it... it's smooth.  And it seems to have feet which you can prop down in the back of the bottom, which I don't remember on mine.  I looked around and found some info on the A1080, that states that it was made by Toshiba, and yet I've also found info that it was made by Goldstar.

Anyone know quite what's going on here?  Before having this in my hands, I've never heard of a 1080 with a glossy screen...

For what it's worth, this one is from Fujitsu.
