[QUOTE="iKitten, post: 409640, member: 28855"] OH! This morning I remember precisely why I didn't want the matte, beyond my impression of the colors, etc. With matte I had to have the screen angle placed at a specific degree in order to see the display in it's entirety. The glossy display doesn't "fade away" that quickly with the angle. The matte reminded me a little of those "animated" baseball cards where you tilt them different directions to see two or three different poses, and have to hold it in a precise spot in order to view! :P At any rate, it wasn't horrible ~ it just wasn't what I wanted. Giulio, you're right about the graphics and video. I'm a musician so matte is not a necessity. Core20, I happen to be very sensitive to temperature, so it is not irrelevant for me (or others like me). The heat of the MBP was quite noticeable and uncomfortable for the heels of my hands while I typed. [/QUOTE]
