This is very serious review. Thanks for this link.
It looks like they are admitting that the problem of reflections is a serious one and needs addressing. I think that this is very positive.
But just a number does not make any sense, so I looked up some videos. Here is the first one where he turns the tablet around quite in the beginning - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RGbn2oAri8
It looks like that 1.7 percent of reflectance will still cause serious reflections. This is not good enough.
So the rating Outstanding should in fact read still far from barely satisfactory. :(
I hope that people will wise up and start demanding reflection free devices.
I don't understand - why do you care so much about seeing reflections? Why is that an issue? Why should I demand reflection free devices? I like the shiny surface - it's easy to clean and looks smart.
First of, reflections distract. If I see a movement, my instinct is to focus on the movement. I do not want that. I want to focus on what is on the screen.
When laying on the table, a reflective surface shines an overhead light source into my eyes. This forces me to carefully position the tablet when not in use. I do not want that.
Reflective surface will mirror my face, I do not want to be constantly conscious about my presence.
You could try a matte screen protector. Overall reflectance will me much higher than the stock screen, and IMO they tend to look a bit fuzzy, but it at least cuts out the mirror reflections.
