You say all that -- regardless how superior your glossy screen is on paper; I, and many others still prefer to look at matte screens and have far less problems with them in real world situations.
- appleiigs 8y agoI downvoted you. He’s stating facts/info and answering a question. He’s not telling you what you should prefer. Unnecessarily argumentative.
- mbrumlow 8y agoThe problem is some times things look good on paper, but those good attributes don't translate into user satisfaction.
- tinco 8y agoI don't even know any developers that work on matte screens. What problems are we supposed to have in the real world?
- mbrumlow 8y agoAre they all using Apple? - Glare for one, never had a glossy screen not be horrid with glare.
- jenscow 8y agoI'm a developer and I prefer matte screens. Here's why: Comfort: I don't need to adjust myself or the screen's position depending on the light. Power saving: My brightness can be lower, because it's not competing with reflection. To me, these greatly outweigh any advantages of a glossy screen. On thing which may be important: I require a dark desktop theme.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoMaybe you're on Macs. Those have glossy screens with a "secret recipe" coating to avoid glare. Consider then half glossy/matte.
