Is the display on this laptop reflective?

[Amit Moryossef]

Hello,

I was working for a few months on a laptop with a touch display, which was awful because the display was reflective as hell.

I am currently planning on getting the " ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501VW-FW087T", with a non-touch "15.6 Inch 16:9 FHD (1920 x 1080) Asus Splendid Video Intelligent Technology, Zero Bright Dot" display.

a) Will that display be reflective?

b) It is an IPS display, correct?

 

Unfortunately, I live in a place without the ability to chose whatever laptop I want, and this is the only option I can really consider. There are no reviewes on this model online, I think because it is region based, and is different from the normal model.

 

Thanks in advance

OK, I did see it is an IPS display in a review of this model, which is great.

How can you tell it is reflective?

I meant, what gives it away?

When I rread "15.6 Inch 16:9 FHD (1920 x 1080) Asus Splendid Video Intelligent Technology, Zero Bright Dot", I don't understand if it is glossy or not.

If it was a touch screen, sure. Most touch screens are glossy. But it is not... And there is no online review of this model, so how can you tell?
