There never was a technical limitation, matte coatings were a deliberate design choice and continue to be. Maybe some people like the "pop" of a glossy display but the rest of us don't like to suffer from glare and reflections while we work.
- chrisseaton 5y agoI don't understand why you'd want to deliberately diffuse the output of your screen? Like if you wanted it blurry you could have done that in software.
- l8rlump 5y agoI guess the diffusion is a bit like a sub-pixel sized blur, but you can’t reduce reflections in software though.

That's why matte is the default preference for most people. > Like if you wanted it blurry you could have done that in software. The "grains" (for lack of a better word) in a matte coating are truly microscopic. They don't make anything blurry. I get the impression that either you're just trolling or you've never actually seen a matte display.
