I agree. I thought I generally prefer matte for office displays. But even since purchasing a Studio Display, matte display just look dull. Also the Studio Display seems to avoid reflections by auto adjusting the brightness when the room is well-lighted.
- hilbert42 3y agoYeah, that makes sense. In an office one's more likely to be doing say word-processing in a highly-lit environment where detail and contrast aren't that important. I normally do photo editing in subdued low-light conditions where gloss is not an issue. Edit: Incidentally, I'm typing this on my Lenovo ThinkPad which has matte screen but I'm using an external monitor with a glossy screen which I prefer (to be fair, it's also slightly larger). No, it wasn't a mistake at purchase time, it was given to me. :-)
- jwells89 3y agoAlso helping reflections on the Studio Display is its antiglare coating which is unusually good for a glossy display, at least when looking at it head-on. It’s one of the parts of the monitor where Apple went the extra mile. Previous Apple displays have been decent in this category too, though. The 5k 27” iMac’s coating was also pretty good and what they use on MacBook Pro 14/16” is only a little worse than what’s on the Studio Display.
