[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1002225, member: 140470"] It comes down to each person's tolerance level to glare and reflections. If you don't move our laptop around much and use it in an office where you can control the lighting or your desk position then you probably won't have too much problems with glossy. I agree with cwa107. The new glossies are like mirrors rather than like traditional glossies but if you position them right you won't notice a lot of reflections. If you use your laptop more as a portable rather than a desktop then you probably want a matte because you will be working in all kinds of different lighting environments. With a matte screen I notice that I just turn on and use while with a glossy screen I first have to find a good position to place my laptop before I can use it comfortably. The new glossy screens are pretty to look at but you have to decide which is more important to you. Checking them both out in a store is the best option because we don't know how tolerate you are to glare and reflections. [/QUOTE]
