Hey guys,
I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere already, but I couldn't find anything about this.
I have a mid-2009 15 inch Macbook Pro. Like most of you, I think the glossy screens are a bit annoying and have been looking for a decent solution (ex anti-glare films, etc.) to address the issue.
I find a ton of stuff about replacing LCDs, etc. but was wondering, what if I simply removed the glass cover? What lies underneath this reflective piece of glass? Is it the standard matte LCD that apple has now opted to include as part of its lineup? If so, can't I technically remove the glass and find a compatible aluminum bezel with to drop over it to leave the screen uncovered? (I realize this might be difficult, but I'm sure not impossible).
Appreciate your thoughts -
On a side note, I did find this: 661-5295 Anti-Glare Display Assembly - 15inch Macbook Pro Mid 2009
Which would be a simple swap since the display assembly is pretty easy to remove, that way I can pick this up and ebay my current glossy display. But again - is this even necessary if I can just remove the glass bezel and leave what's underneath?
Thanks!
