X61 Tablet Screen vs. X41 Tablet

[juan_tastic]

A colleague has both an X41 Tablet and an X61 Tablet. She recently demonstrated to me that fingerprints are much more noticeable on the X61 screen than on the X41 screen, so much so that the X61 looks positively dirtier than the X41. Both units receive an equal amount of handling by the same person.

Question: Does the X61 tablet screen have a different finish or coating vs. the X41 tablet would account for this difference?

The SXGA+ screen has the SuperView coating, which does pick up fingerprints pretty badly.

I don't notice it when the screen is on, but when it's off it used to bother me. I've gotten used to it after a few months, but some people really can't stand it.

I have the XGA screen on my X61T. As much as I love high res, I can't stand the eyestrain on these ultra high res screens (I had a 1600x1200 screen on a T41p, 15").

My screen does get dirty, so I spend time cleaning it more than I'd like. I had an X41t and didn't notice this problem quite as much, but it was probably because screen issues on the X41t were insignificant for me compared to how slooooowwww the machine was.

My screen is also getting constantly dirty with prints. I always keep an eyeglass cleaner between my keyboard and screen when I shut the lid (to protect), so I always give it a quick wipe down when I flip it open.
