Macbook Pro: glossy or matte?

dont forget to get me one too... :smile:

 

I have the glossy. I feel it adds some punch to the photos when showing them to others. There is some reflection if there are lights behind you. I find it easy to "look past" them and still get a great looking photo.

 

Unless he had actually tested it I doubt it is true. I normally use mine with a 20" ACD and the few times I have viewed the final photo my old eyes could not tell much difference. Glossy might have a bit of additional saturation, will have to test it again in a few days after I get the laptop calibrated.

 

Matte here.... I want accurate color and I don't like the reflections that you get with a glossy screen. Mine is hooked up to a 23" ACD at home, but when I'm on the road and want to work on images, I prefer the matte screen.

 

I'm with Connie on this one. I like the looks of the glossy screen but the reflections bother me. I went with matte.

 

I concur with Connie too. It seems to me that the absence of glossy monitors on Apples HD desktops is some hint. :wink:

 

I've got a 15" MBP with a matte screen and I've never had one regret. I'm outside with it a lot and unless the sun is over my shoulder I don't have any trouble. I've seen too many people with glossy screens struggle to see. YMMV!

Good luck what ever you get... And welcome to the coolness of Mac

Dean , this might be of no help at all regarding your "problem" , but it seems that the Macbook Pro lineup is going to be revamped during the WWDC this June. Now this seems to concern only the 15" models , but Apple might come out with LED backlight displays. It might be worth it to wait just a while ...

 

Amen to that! I'm a network admin and had to use windows also! But now with intel Mac's and BootCamp... well lets just say it's the best two for one deal anywhere!! :biggrin:

 

Julien,

That's great news.
