    Wait a second. I thought the most accurate screens--still!!--were CRTs. And those screens are covered with big sheets of glossy, shiny glass.

    Just a few years ago every computer was using a CRT for everything in desktop computing, and every CRT was glossy.

    Now there have been matte surface screens for a few years, and people are having conniptions that gloss has come back?

    If you're worried about color, get your monitor calibrated, and learn about color management. If you're really worried about color, go to fucking the press check.

    The screen's always going to look a bit different from the printed stuff because the screen has a fucking light source in it! But you know, professionals adjust to these things.

    Don't make me come back there...
