From: SM on 15 May 2010 08:37 Any thoughts on the anti-glare option on the new 15" MBPs? I'm thinking of getting the i7 but haven't seen a new Pro with the matte option. I'm not dead against the glossy screens but find them a pain sometimes. The nearest Apple Store to me is Exeter - anyone know if they have one on display? Stuart -- cut that out to reply

It drives me mental sometimes. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

It drives me mental sometimes. Glossy screen is great in a dark room. Damn near useless in a room with strong lighting, sun coming in, or light coloured background, especially while working with darkish imagery. -- Pd

I'd take a new glossy over the old silver keyed MBP matte and I don't mind this kinda-shiny MacBook at all. Stuart -- cut that out to reply

The anti-glares seem to have a coating similar to that of photographic lenses to tone down reflections. However if you do any kind of serious image editing, they're still unacceptable: <http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-10041-10146> Scroll down two thirds of the page for a direct comparison of both. -- Martin |
