    After getting a second laptop with a glossy screen I can honestly say there's no way I'd go back to matte. My PowerBook LCD just looks so flat and dull in comparison to my ThinkPad and HP.

    Any comparison between the PB and the newer laptops wouldn't hold much water because the dispaly on the PB is 1.) several years old and 2.) a generation or two of technology behind.


    My old PB screen looks like shit next to my MBP (matte) screen.

    @Doughbelly: The HP and PB are less than a year apart. I've used other, newer laptops with Matte screens. They still look like crap compared to glossy, IMO so my PB isn't the only base of comparison. It just happens to be the one in front of me right now. Calibrating it with an eye one has helped it look a lot better.


    @biofreak: And you be quiet when the adults are talking..

    @lostarchitect: Apparently 'fail' is anything opposite of what the other person prefers....

    My brother has a new 13 inch macbook, and it isn't too bad indoors but it collects smudges like a fresh painting.

    I've had the glossy screen since they first offered in the MBP. Now, personally I haven't had a problem w/ being able to see the screen. Then again, I tend to work in darker rooms anyway due to my eyes general sensitivity to light (I'm about 2 steps removed from being an albino.)

    Great news. Manufactures have to know that already that people need a choice, i would never buy a glossy screen.

    @biofreak: Because you fundamentally disagree with the concept, or because you actually have owned such laptop w/ glossy screen and determined it to be unworthy?

    I've pretty much gotten used to the fact that most technology is worthless in direct sunlight

    Probably "technology with screens" would be more accurate.
