It's the other way around, I think, there are technological challenges to using Matt coatings
The issue is, like you said, the smearing and contrast, which was a bigger issue with newer, high DPI displays.
That being said, I do believe there are solutions - I have used 4k Matt displays that don't have the aforementioned issue, I think most glossy displays are there for there as a form over function thing.
Glossy displays are still annoyingly reflective and good antiglare coatings are exceedingly easy to damage
- sgt 5y agoI disagree with that. Take a look at MacBooks for example - excellent screens that are glossy but not very reflective. Never seen anything better on a laptop.
- nvarsj 5y agoHave you ever tried working outdoors on a glossy screen? You will wish very fast it was matte.
- sgt 5y agoIf by outdoors you mean coffee shops and so on, it's fine. But yeah in the open it is bad, like most cell phones etc. I don't consider that a common use case. If you do field work, get some shade behind/over you. Plenty of reasons for that.
