[QUOTE="wirelessmacuser, post: 1003081, member: 136479"] Look closely at the picture, several posts above yours. Notice the 1" ~ 1 1/2"(approx) black border around the outside of the display? The matte displays have a silver colored aluminum border instead of black. That's one easy, visual way to confirm which one you have. My preference is Matte. I use mine for hours on end and the reflections of the glossy screen on my best friends MBP would drive me crazy. He bought his at the Apple store, didn't know they offered matte so took home the glossy one. Then after months of hating it he sees the new one that I just got a few weeks ago, and it's a night and day difference when they are side by side. Luckily there is a guy that we know, that wanted glossy and bought his from my friend. Now he has matte and he so much happier. Does that make matte better than glossy? No. Just different. It's a personal choice that you want to put a lot of consideration into before you choose. [/QUOTE]
