Texture.

like LCD monitor glossy vs matte, or phone screen protecot glossy vs matte.

glossy are sharp but will have reflection of surrounding light. they are also fingerprint magnet

matte wont have reflection but said to be less sharp (to me is sharp enough for prints, but it does cause diffuses light for phone screen protectors.)

Thanks.
