> Matte screen – Why are shiny screens an option? Who wants that?
Because the matte diffuser doesn't just obscure glare, it diffuses the light emitted from the screen. Glass/glossy screens look noticeably sharper at the expense of glare.
I'd love it if a glossy option was available for the framework once they introduce higher resolution displays, right now it looks pretty cheap.
- Brian_K_White 3y agoA billion years ago I had a Vaio TZ that had a glossy but still anti reflective screen. Used some kind of coating layers using the same principle as museum glass. Whatever happened to that? This was forever ago and it really worked pretty great, and I loved that machine so I used it a long time, and I can say I had no problem with the coating failing from wear or age either. You could get a reflection if you tried hard enough, but you never had a problem seeing the screen contents even in a glare situation, and I'd think that would be the primary concern.
