There are also other factors at play I believe than just resolution. I have 3 XPS 13 laptops - one Full HD matte, one Full HD glossy and one 4K glossy.
Full HD matte seems quite unsharp compared to the Full HD (or 4K) glossy. But with my eyes, I don't really see the difference between Full HD glossy and 4K glossy.
Matte screen by its nature desharpens so it should be expected. But I did not expect the effect to be so noticeable.
- ashdev 5y agoThat's interesting. Which one do you prefer for daily use?
- The_Colonel 5y agoGlossy produce clearly nicer image (sharper, colors are more vivid), but reflections can make it very impractical (especially during the day). Ideally I would choose matte but with higher resolution than Full HD. Glossy/matte is also not a binary choice, as I understand there are displays with various degrees of glosiness/matte which might provide better trade off.
- ashdev 5y agoAgreed, I came to the same conclusion. Both my PC laptop and MacBook Air have glossy displays but MacBook one reflects back less light which makes it easier to work with.
