I do not understand...

How were you able to make a comparison between Matte and Glossy if you have not seen the Glossy?

That's right yetieater. The manager of my local mac store went to great lengths explaining to me the pro's and con's of getting a glossy screen, but in the end what did it for me is the fact that I could see a silhouette of myself on a glossy screen. Nothing too serious mind you, but I think that's just one of those things that would get my goat at some point. Also I could see some glare from the store lights and the sun, which annoyed me a bit as well.

But like I said before, if you are working in an environment where light isn't going to be bouncing off your screen, go for the glossy. It's does look slightly nicer, and the whole silhouette thing isn't really that big of a deal.

Back to this old topic:

I saw for the first time a glossy LED backlit MacBookPro in LYP. No it was not for sale, it belongs to Scooticus of CZone. He BTOed it braving the 3 week wait needed for it to finally arrive.

My conclusion?

I prefer the Glosssy.... It's a personal preference but the screen's a beauty.

is the imac screen matt or glossy.. just for comparison..

The screens on iMacs are matte...
