Removing the AntiGlare:
You need a way to start the peel, a credit card works or a knife but that could chip the glass if you are not careful. Though even as much as a long finger nail may be best.
Once you get it started you can pull away a bit by simply pulling but I would stop once you pass the corner of the bezel(black darker part). There I would get some kind of heat source. A hair dryer is good on low, nothing too hot just enough to get the adhesive to become a little less resistant.
Then apply your heat method and pull directly in the opposite direction. Like don't pull away from the screen but try to pull from one corner to the other. This puts less stress on the glass. Be very careful when you reach the middle of the display. That is the weakest point because nothing is supporting it. Once you pass that point just continue the process.
It is not too hard to pull off, it is a bit stronger glass than you may think. It is made to bend and flex a certain bit. But also dont add too much heat because that may loosen the glass strength.
Don't overthink it, just don't be stupid with it. Be careful and you will be fine, not rocket science at all, just care and patience.
Good luck!

This video is old but I wanted to share my experience with removing the Anti-Glare film. I've had my 4K 15" Touch Y700 for about two years now and have been happy with it as far as performance goes. Being heavily into photography and looking at my camera LCD and external monitor, I noticed immediately that the colors were off on the laptop, casting a greenish/yellow hue. I read that this is the case with botht the 4K and FHD models. I tried using the in-computer color calibration tools in the computer but couldn't get it right. I even bought a ColorMunki color calibrator but I still wasn't happy with the post-calibration results. I read that the the Anti-Glare film was the cause of the bland and greenish yellow hued colors. Initially I didn't want to remove due to warranty concerns at that time. I finally bit the bullet and removed the Anit-Glare film last night. As mentioned in a few other forums (including this one), I used a blow dryer. Started at a corner that gave me the most free play and used an exacto knife to life the corner. I tried a credit card at first but even after heating the corner with the hair dryer it didn't just pop up as I expected. I carefully slid the exacto knife under the film and was able to pull about an inch of the film away from the screen. At that point, I simply ran the hair dryer (on low setting) back and forth while pulling away (in the opposite corner direction) of the film. I took my time. The film was stuck pretty good on there and the only way it gave way was when I had the hair dryer on there for about 2 minutes at a time. The whole process only took me about 20-25 minutes. I think it could be cut down to 10-15 but I only pulled away at the film when there was less resistance, to ensure the screen would be damaged, or no residue would be left. The film itself is fairly thick (as you can see from the cutout hole around the webcam). The glossy screen underneath is beautiful. No gummy/adhesive residue at all. Looks sharper and colors are better...but definitely not a "fix" for the laptop's color issues. It is definitely an improvement though. After I removed the film, I used the Color Calibration tool on the laptop and matched it to colors on my SLR (5D Mark IV) and my other monitor, to where I was satisfied. I actually ended up using the color profile (ICC file) found online: www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Ideapad-Y700-15ISK-80NW-Notebook-Review.155878.0.html The touch function works fine, but because the screen is now glassy, there is more resistance when swiping, especially if you have sweaty fingertips...just something to keep in mind. I did notice a bit more glare on the glossy screen, but haven't been in a high-glare environment yet to see how bad it gets.

Build quality, keyboard, reboot speed, sound is amazing, colors are great, touch screen works smoothly, typing is a pleasure. I really love this laptop and is a pity Lenovo stop selling this product or even better they didn't work on this design no more which i think is totally great.

Latin american version comes with a diferent kind of screen. It has a black matt plastic frame over the actual screen (as usual in many other laptops out there), so the method described here to remove the anti-glare foil doesn´t apply with it, i think the frame would have to be removed first in this one in order to uncover the very corners of it (if there is even an anti -glare on. It looks pretty much of a real matt screen to me, tough). Also, this version includes the external DVD recorder unit in the box by default. (Y700 - 15ISK 80NV003QLM)

I just wish they offered the 256g SSD on the prebuilt options. You can customize to get one in there, but it's a ton more money. Anyway, good stuff, looking forward to the other side of the review.

If you get the one with the m.2 SSD, it doesn't come with the bracket for the 2.5 inch SATA drive and it's a hard part to find, so it's better to get the one with a 2.5 inch hard drive, install an m.2 SSD, and install the OS on that, using the hard drive for bulk storage.

Peeled off my antiglare film and damn is the contrast and colors more vibrant. I got mine off in about 10 minutes without heat. I began by sliding a very new swiss army knife under a corner. i had to then slide it a little along the edge to get enough to begin peeling with a finger nail. once i got a corner, i started working the top edge. i then peeled more of the entire top right corner, and then used the peeled top edge to work the top left corner. then i peeled more of the top left corner while working the left edge until i reached the bottom left corner. working 3 corners, toward the middle, i was finally able to go sort of a mix of horizontal, left to right and diagonal, top left to bottom right to finish the middle and bottom right.

Hi, I just bought this version: Lenovo IdeaPad Y700-15ISK 80NV00M9MJ Specs: Intel Quad-Core i7 6700HQ 2.6GHz up to 3.5GHz 8GB DDR4 Ram 128GB SSD+1TB HDD Nvidia Geforce GTX960M 4GB DDR5 15.6" FHD LED Screen My questions: 1. Mine does not have the AntiGlare plastic. Is it normal? 2. I don't know whether it's monitor issue or graphic card. When I play a movie or stream youtube , although it's HD, the quality is not that good. Kinda pixelate and the color is too deep, it too dark and not nice. How to solve this issue? 3. On the bottom, at left and right have some vent with plastic covered. What is that? Do I need to remove the plastic? 4. The battery is not removable. Usually I will remove the battery and use the AC. So for this laptop, to take care of the battery, only plug in the AC, when the battery is low instead of just plug the AC all the time? 5. I cannot install Chrome at all eventhough using offline installer. I hope you can help me. Thanks!

for Lenovo to put a gtx 970m they would have to make the laptop a bit thicker for better cooling and it no longer be a bang for the buck laptop although I do agree with you they should have atleast a gtx 965m 4gb that would make a good gaming laptop and put 75 Hertz on the screen

Great review and thank you so much. I am not a gamer but I wanted the power that this laptop provides. Very happy with it and adjusting a bit to the keyboard. Your advice regarding the antiglare was perfect. I also was not a fan of it so I removed it with a hair dryer as you did and it worked perfectly. It took a good 20 minutes of heating and pulling but I am so glad I did it. I am loving the display. For anyone else of course it is at risk but I started by heating the corner which allowed me to start pulling the antiglare film off. It is really stuck on their so you need to pull hard and above all be patient. Go slow. I used a sweeping motion with the hair dryer removed the antiglare film little by little. It worked beautifully. Thanks again for the review man.

@FatedCb 8 жыл бұрын
There are some comments I have written about it. I was thinking about making a video while doing this review but decided against it... Now I regret that. But in short... You need a way to start the peel, a credit card works or a knife but that could chip the glass if you are not careful. Though even as much as a long finger nail may be best. Once you get it started you can pull away a bit by simply pulling but I would stop once you pass the corner of the bezil(black darker part). There I would get some kind of heat source. A hair dryer is good on low, nothing too hot just enough to get the adhesive to become a little less resistant. Then apply your heat method and pull directly in the opposite direction. Like don't pull away from the screen but try to pull from one corner to the other. This puts less stress on the glass. Be very careful when you reach the middle of the display. That is the weakest point because nothing is supporting it. Once you pass that point just continue the process. It is not too hard to pull off, it is a bit stronger glass than you may think. It is made to bend and flex a certain bit. But also dont add too much heat because that may loosen the glass strength. Don't overthink it, just don't be stupid with it. Be careful and you will be fine, not rocket science at all, just care and patience. Good luck!

Thanks for the awesome review. On my 2nd yoga 900 (due to bent chassis) and it's having the same issues as the first one I returned so I'm awaiting Lenovos warranty department to call so I can exchange my yoga 900 for one of these.

Got this laptop, pretty great, but with some gripes: - lid is just way too hard to open - two finger tap on touchpad doesn't work (three and four finger tap however, works just fine) - speaker pops a few times after booting. (is this normal?) - fingerprint magnet on the glossy part where the power button sits - no mute button, not a huge deal tho However, there are some stuff that I didn't believe would be so much useful, like the battery level light indicator (it blinks when charging), and toggleable battery charge limit on 60%. Also, want to note that speaker aren't facing toward you, instead they still face towards the ceiling. That's just the grills facing towards you. Just look at them under a light source.

ive owned one of these for a few months now. no problems with it yet. my only annoyance is the smudging on the screen when i open the laptop. my fingers smudge the top every time. other than that its really quite a nice machine. not really loud. keys have a nice feel and are placed well. i ran dark souls 3 on it maxed out and it held 50 fps. would recommend for first timers not looking to pay over 2000 bucks for a laptop.

I was looking at a Dell 7559 or the new 7567 models, but they both have Matte displays. Do you know if you can peel the anti-glare off the Dell models? I do photo editing and prefer a glossy display. The older Dell 7559 actually specs out better with color accuracy then the newer 7567 model, but it has the 6th gen i7 and older DDR3 RAM...but I may still buy the older version. Als, very easy to upgrade RAM, add an SSD, etc....Thanks and really nice video.....

I have Lenovo Y700-15ISK for about 5 years now. I have to say that i am more than satisfied from the laptop. However, i have a couple of problems that i woyld like to share with you and ask if you have them too. 1) the two speakers under the screen are always coverd in dust and i haven't find a way to clean them. 2)Sometimes, after some gaming time the keyboard stops responding, if i dont turn the power off the laptop aftes 5-10 minutes crashes. If i try to shut it down or restart it, the lapop will not do. It just stays in a state that it is thying to shut down or restart and this never happens. I have to turn the power off and then boot it again. After this the keyboard work normal again. I know that i comment too much later than the video relise, but if you see this comment i would realy like to have your opinion about these things.

Great video but I have one question: How did you remove the anti glare screen film?
@p0steffected 7 жыл бұрын
Hi FatedCb, first of all, I apologize for such a late comment, but I have an important question. I really enjoyed your review and it really pushed the wind into my back to buy this great laptop since my former one was Y510p non-SLI model which was also great. However the only issue I have with this transition is that, even though older model had TN screen, it seems it was somewhat better than this IPS display and mainly because of the not so great color reproduction and the annoying black color glow on the newer model (someone would call it common IPS glow). So, my question is, if I remove the anti glare coating of the screen like you described, beside better color reproduction, would I get better black color reproduction without yellowish glow? I think the anti glare is a nice feature to have, but if removing it would greatly improve picture quality, I am prepared to deal with glossy display rather than with not so great picture quality. Sorry for the long comment, I thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you soon. Cheers man and keep up the good work!
