Glossy screens are used to get good color representation in a dynamic lighting environment - although often hidden behind the reflections. If vibrancy and color are important to you (designers) a glossy screen might be the right coating. If you are just trying to see your monitor and don't care if colors change depending on external light source then matte.
- mindslight 11y agoAnd yet the Dreamcolor on which I'm reading this is matte. The worst part visually is the bounce from the white wall behind me, which would be much worse if it were glossy. Colors are always going to be dependent on ambient light, since your perception of the white point changes. And if color is important to you then vibrancy probably isn't, since calibrating a monitor can only ever shrink its gamut. IMHO, glossy screens came from the same place as shortscreens and white backgrounds (for emissive displays) - Hell. As far as laptops, just get a used Thinkpad (real one - X, T, or W). I hear HP has a good business line too, if they're your kink.
