[QUOTE="giulio, post: 409352, member: 28677"] Glossy screen is beautiful to look at, yes. But if you have a window or source of light (even bright objects) you will see their reflection on the screen and it will get annoying fast. Think about it... CRTs used glass because they HAD to. What other displays use glossy screens? Movie theatre, no. Project TVs, no. wwhhyy?? because you dont want reflections. A matte screen will show you the true image generated by the computer. Glossy will reflect your surroundings. I think glossy is just to show off, 'look at my shiny toy'. Aside from the reflections... whats the difference? I bet if you put both in dark rooms w/ zero reflections they'd look exactly the same. [/QUOTE]
