    I used to be anti glossy screen till I got my new 13" Pro. This screen is beautiful and with regular use glare has become a non-issue.

    Hmm, I'd like a matte screen, but if they don't have one out when I go to get my 15" (Probably October/November), then I'll go with glossy. I'm not going to wait around, and I won't be using my MBP outside very often.

    Whoever started the trend of glossy screens should be shot. I understand the perceived improvement in contrast, but the tradeoff with reflections isn't worth it. Really difficult to deal with if you get a table facing away from a window.

    that's pretty unforgivable for a top of the line product created by a company whose reputation relies on ease of use, simplicity, and reliability - and who charges a not insignificant premium for it.

    @nutbastard: hardware problems are actually pretty frequent with new apple products. they usually work out the kinks, but it can take a while.


    This issue seems to relate to the adapter itself, so I don't see how the new macs are relevant to the issue.

    @SamburgerHandwich:


    but DVI and MDP both use the same signal - it's just the pins that are different (AFAIK) just like HDMI and DVI, which is why cheap adapters for these exist. same with S-Video to Component - easy as pie, they both use the RGB standard.

    @bosskev: I was wondering the same thing. The only application I can think of is a largish screen that unrolls like a scroll, but even then I really don't see how that would be particularly useful.


    And wouldn't all that flexing delaminate the particles that they so carefully deposited on the substrate?


    There might be an application for really large screens, say 36 inches and up that you could roll up for easy transport, but even then the "screen" would need to be supported somehow, just as a standard projection screen is now, so you would not save much weight or space.

    @Gary_7vn: You may not save much weight or space in the screen itself (with regards to a standard projection screen), but with the oled-flexible screen, the screen is all you need. No projector necessary.
