[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1028393, member: 59143"] Granted, the more saturated and vibrant colors make for a great photo or video viewing experience. However, unless your monitor is calibrated (which I'd say is true of more than 95% of the consumer based and bought lCD's) and if you do any sort of photo editing on one of these, the color, hue, tone, contrast and highlights will see a significant variation from that of an non glossy screen. It's pretty hard to get consistent results when you're trying to reach a vast audience this way. But in the end, it's all personal preference if you're not editing anything. I still prefer matte, because I don't like the reflections, and I don't feel like anything is 'washed out' at all on a matte screen. In fact, I feel that just the opposite is true. I feel that the glossy screens represent an overly saturated and not very realistic (ie; far from neutral) rendition of the color gamut. Oh, and @ TheGreatApple: You must have a glossy screen made out of magic pixie dust, because.. just the opposite is true with both my MBP's. Doug [/QUOTE]
