Good day,
It is me again and I am sorry. I did not even notice this option, and I am a little hestitant to pick. Has anyone experienced a large difference between the glossy screen or the matte screen for macbook pro? I have always been a fan of matte, but I am tossed on the choice. Any words of advice would be super.
The apple store info does not help me what so ever. I kinda like the anti-glare option, but I also like richer colors. lol.
fucking options.
Thx in advance,
freak

I was in the Store a few days ago and decided if I had to choose i would go with glossy. The colors are a lot better. There is the whole glare thing but thats avoidable.

matte, unless you like recognizing the person standing over your shoulder, at which point you might as well get a rear view mirror for your comp

The only time I like the rearview mirror effect is when I am in the car. Funny thing when I went into my local apple store they only had glossy. So I truly have no perspective.
Thank you.
I guess I will print out a macbook pro image on a glossy 5x7 and matte 5x7 and stare at them. ;)

i use matte MBP, it cuts the glare, and when showing work to a client you want the best viewable non distracting screen...

e-pill.
That is what I was thinking about as well. I could care less about a vivid dvd movie being played. I am sure it is nice but that is not why I am buying a Macbook. Seems to be apples justification ...
" Choose the glossy widescreen display to make your graphics, photos, and videos appear with richer color and deeper blacks — great for watching DVD movies "
haha. o well.

I have a glossy, and I think it looks much richer and sharper than the matte.

screen colors are already unnaturally saturated as it is

Really don't appreciate that, barb.

Like the one of the previous posts said: glossy is fine at home where you can control the light source. But it's a macbook, it's mobile and summer's approaching - you'll wanna' be out of the house.
With a glossy screen? Why not just stare into the sun and get it over with?

people who knock the glossy obviously do not own one. it's the shit and there is no glare.
and i fuck all sorts of women too.

Kind of counter-intuitive since most digital camera LCDs are coated.
- digitalswarm0
Mine is coated? Is yours not?
- Mimio0
All my camera LCDs are coated glossy as well as my laptop display. Things looks fine outdoors. Obviously not in direct sunlight though.
