Hello ,

I've been mulling over the decision to choose between the glossy screen option or the matte screen, for Macbook Pros.

I've done some research over various forums and i've gathered that most existing users are griping over the problem that the glossy screens easily produces irritating reflections even in "normal" ambience, for eg like coffee shops, normal study room lighting, day light from windows , etc.

The opinion or experience that i'd like to gather from this forum is , in fact not regarding the reflection issues as above, but i want to know especially from Macbook Pro users of the Matte screens variation, have you or have you not observed that :

- The colour reproduction of Matte is more accurate than compared to glossies ?
- Apparently, the gamut range on the orange and red channels are kinda moderately easily blown on the glossy screens, do the Matte screens have this problem as well ?

Or any other inputs that you may have in regards to glossy vs matte for Macbook pros , are certainly welcomed.

I do photography , although not product photography, but at least 90% of colour accuracy is what i'm aiming for when i'm delivering photos , so it's important for me to know from your experiences if you know there are differences in this respect between those two screens.

thanks in advance


ps: Given the comparison between the two different screens are calibrated "correctly" using at least a colourimeter like Spyder Pro 2 .

Silly , Thanks for pointing out there's no matte anymore. I've always thought that anti glare means matte.

So , is anyone out there willing to share glossy vs anti glare for the same comparison points I've asked in orig post ?

Thanks for the great link , just what I was looking for.

I'm gonna go for anti gloss

Seriously , what's another 400 if we're already forking out some 6k. For the long run, 400 would be evaporated just in a snap !

Here's another pictorial observation

Just popped an order into Apple online store today.

Got more convinced from another thread from macrumors on a debate going on between gloss and matte. Pretty well made up my mind hehe
