My Asus Eee PC 1000HD has a matte display (LCD with TFT Active Matrix and LED backlight) and it looks great!
The display is super bright (no washout) and has an unbelievably wide & tall viewing angle. I run it @ 60% brightness.
Don't know what kind of options you are asking about - select models or suggested upgrades, but...
Options:
- 1) I replaced the OEM 1GB RAM stick with 2GB (the max) of Corsair "Mac Memory".
2) I'm dual-booting XP (included) with a full desktop install of Linux Mint 7 "Gloria".
3) I'm running a 4GB Kingston SDHC in the media slot, in case I need to 'sneakernet'.
4) I'm *thinking* about swapping out the black keyboard for a white one ($15 @ Asus Store).
Overall, I couldn't be happier with the 1000HD ($249 @ Target) so I quit looking at other models!
EDIT
* Added a link, in case ppl don't know what 'sneakernet' means...
