Title
Installing MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2010 Matte Finish LCD
Introduction
This guide covers removal and replacement of the Matte Finish LCD. Aside from your screen not being glossy or glared, you know you have a Matte Finish LCD if you have an approx. 14mm brushed aluminum bezel around your screen.
Most people DON'T have this bezel, and so should use the existing Glossy LCD replacement guild instead: [guide|3581] .
The only difference between the Matte Finish LCD and Glossy LCD version of the MacBook Pro is the display assembly. The Matte Finish LCD differs from the Glossy LCD in two ways:
# The aluminum bezel.
# The exterior glass of the matte display is optically bonded to the LCD, so you cannot remove the glass with suction cups. (On the bright side, any new matte LCD you purchase comes with the cover glass already bonded!)
