[QUOTE="giulio, post: 409602, member: 28677"] OK, sorry if I was mean. The glossy gives the illusion of crisper images. But they are not. You have a finite number of pixels. Putting a glossy piece of plastic over the display will not make it more vibrant or raise your dpi. For a professional in graphics or video, i'd recommend the matte - so you see the truest colors and shapes possible. For an office pro, number cruncher, or musician / sound engineer, it probably doesn't matter as much. Related story... My boss made me upgrade to Vista and gave me a matte 17" samsung LCD. I had put on a desktop picture of a calm lake with a steep steep mountain and the reflections were beautiful. So much so, that my boss did not believe the screen was matte. The image's reflections gave the perception of a glossy screen. I turned off the monitor... matte as can be. [/QUOTE]
