    im upgrading my mac and im so unsure about what to do and i dont know weather to pick a anti glare or glossy???:rolleyes::o:(:confused:

    if people could tell the plus and down sides of the both it would be kool

    i googled my question about weather to get a antiglare or glossy and people where saying the screen is a bit dead and dull on the anti glare compared to a glossy and it was going around that the colour isnt that sharp etc

    Where do you intend using it?
    In naturally lit areas the glare from the glossy can be quite bad.

    I think the glossy screens are fine in every environment that i use my laptop in, although they are quite reflective. I would probably get the matte screen (IMO they are much nicer) if I had the option (which i don't on the 13inch mbp). Thats not to say the glossy screen is bad though, they fit in with the design of the machine better, and look excellent in dark environments

    ye thats the things bugging me ?? the matte doesnt really fit in with the design , the hole white boundry around the rim of the screen it doesnt look all that impressive tbh sure ill be connecting a bga monitor to it half of the time tbh and do other half would be just using it on my lap or while watching tv but it might still annoy me :rolleyes: what a tool:o

    If you're using it to DJ, I'd say get the anti-glare just so you never worry about spotlights messing up your view.
