[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 539012, member: 2960"] I'm a graphic designer. I have used both glossy screens and matte screens for things. When given the option of a glossy screen or a matte for design work, I choose the matte. Let me preface the following with this: If you aren't an artist or designer, this really makes no difference and won't really matter to you. The glossy screen can make the colors seem bolder and a little brighter by making them appear more saturated. However if you are a designer or an artist, this same 'feature' also distorts colors and they aren't produced properly. The oversaturation muddles things and doesn't give you an accurate depiction of the true color. This has a large impact on what is printed out in the end. If you are into web design or broadcast design it really doesn't matter as much, but for printed works, matte is the definitely the way to go. This is not my way of "justifying" why I have a matte screen, this is simply the truth. Overly saturated colors on-screen will give you unexpected results for your final printed work. [/QUOTE]
