[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 280910, member: 22866"] That's kind of a narrow view. I've did a lot of searching on glossy vs. matte and this is what I heard from several people who do professional photo editing. The bottom line is matte is better for photo editing because it gives more accurate colors. Most people think glossy gives a better picture. Glossy looks better, but colors are oversaturated and, therefore, distorted. Also, matte is better for various lighting conditions as it doesn't reflect any background light and make the screen hard to see/read and cause fatigue over long periods of us. Bottom, bottom line: if you play games, movies and only use your lappy in certain lighting conditions where reflection isn't a problem, go glossy. If you are actually mobile with your lappy and possibly use it outside time to time and you want accurate colors for photo editing, go with matte. I finally decided on a matte screen and I'm glad I did as I go everywhere with my MBP would have alreayd been very frustrated with reflection by now. I really wanted glossy for movies, but I've watched movies on mine and even though I know the picture would be a little better with glossy, I'm perfectly happy with it as is. [/QUOTE]
