I am glad, I am not the only one. I was afraid, that I am too picky. ;)

Yes, I agree. This will be laptop for work, not for a multimedia, so
definitely matte screen is choice for me. And yes, again the same what I
think - it's hard to choose nowadays, because most of them are glossy. :/
That is why I am going for this model.

Great so the 1440x900 with LED-backlight will be my choice probably.
Thank you guys.
