Most monitors and laptops have matte screens. Its just apple stuff thats glossy. Apparently it gives better color which helps for video/image editing but for programming the matte screens are clearly better.
- mkl 6y agoEvery screen I own is glossy, and I don't own any Apple stuff. External screens, laptops, all-in-ones, all glossy. The last matte screen I had was on a 2010 ThinkPad, and I think I had to pay extra for that. Maybe it's touch related? Every screen I own is also a touch screen (so's that old ThinkPad though), and with my physical needs I can't really consider non-touch.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoYeah its almost certainly touchscreen related. My LG 4k monitor and 2018 dell xps are matte.
- Twirrim 6y ago> Maybe it's touch related? I got a Thinkpad T490 this year, which has a matte touch screen (I really wish it wasn't a touchscreen, my only gripe with it. I never want to interact with the laptop via touch. Never.)
- mkl 6y agoIt's probably pretty easy to turn the touch off, by uninstalling the driver or something. My ThinkPad developed a tendency to sometimes do that automatically, and I had to restart a certain .exe to bring it back.
