I have an anti-glare screen which I am very happy with on my mbp 17 from 2008 model.
I am about to get a new one and I am frustrated in trying to pick gloss vs. anti-glare.
I have a 24" dell lcd... so I am assuming in order to have similar color etc.. I should go with the anti glare again?
I just don't like the aesthetic of the anti-glare on the mbp.

Glossy is so dumb, for real.

personally anti-glare 100% all the fucking way for me, but each to their own.

anti-glare every time.

I like the glossy. It makes the dark tones appear deeper, I think. That anti-glare makes the deep tones look a bit frosty, IMHO.

I prefer anti-glare.

The only thing glossy is good for is seeing people coming up behind you in the reflection, while you're browsing the chick of the day thread.

I have a glossy screen on my 13" MBP. Even in my dark office I get distracting reflections on the screen. I'd go with the antiglare.
I don't use the MBP screen for choosing color or image correction (I always use my calibrated 24" monitor), so it's not that big of a deal.

I have a MBP with glossy screen, probably had it for a year and 1/2 now, and still can't get used to it, some people say they like it, but to be honest, just the name it self tells you that you are going to have an obstacle between your eyes and the screen "glare"
it is understood that people tend to protect their eyes from glare, using hats, sun glasses, goggles, with their own hands or by looking away from it, why would you want to have it on your screen is beyond me. Yes it might look nice and shiny at the store, so I can see the aesthetic value, but there is NO functional value in it.
just my opinion thought, again, I'm pretty sure some people don't mind it...

Glossy is great but on a flight the lady next to me complained that the glare was giving her a headache. but was good ice breaker since we ended up talking about design.
