For some people that is like asking if they prefer vi or emacs.
I personally prefer matte displays because I like to avoid the glare that I get with glossy monitors. But the colors on a glossy do seem 'brighter'.
- ThomPete 16y agoI don't think that is comparable. vi and emacs are in competition. One cannot be said to be the successor of the other. The glare is supposed to be better so that is what I don't understand.
- jdub 16y agoGlossy is better because it's uncoated. "Matte" is a coating, an extra layer of gumpf on top of your beautiful, bright and colourful screen.
- jarek 16y agoThat's a bit like saying a rust-proofed car is worse than a non-treated one.
- jdub 16y agoRust-proofing is objectively good. It does not, when applied, change the quality of the car underneath it. Matte coating puts a layer of gumpf between your eyeball and the screen, which affects the image you see.
