You said two things to confirm my opinion trevedda:
"Matt screens look *dull* to me now."
- as I said, it's all in psychology/marketing"It's more like looking at an old CRT monitor with a glossy screen."
- this is precisely what they're supposed to fake, give you the good old glass feel.Just a quickie: why do standalone LCD's not come in glossy?..
(at least not usually)

I have a glossy screen - it's brilliant and no real issue with glare for me.
Matt screens look *dull* to me now.
I have a PowerBook which is matt and the screen looks pants compared with the new MBP.
But I guess you need to decide. It's more like looking at an old CRT monitor with a glossy screen.
Also very easy to clean, everything just wipes off!

glossy is for oour homosexual brethren.
which is ok, but you need to be absolutely sure that yo only dream about (or a practitioner of) sex with people with the same thing in their underpants as you have.
if you are not sure, get a matte.

if you're gonna use it outdoors a lot don't get a glossy.

I have a glossy blackbook, and the glariness is the most sucking feature it has (no choice on the 13.3's though).
Glossy screens are there for psychological reasons, they look rich, pretend they're "real glass".
I like that:

I am buying a refurb anyhow. They just posted a grip. 2.33 and 2 gigs is enough for me.

The Apple guys will tell you that the only reason they even offer a glossy display is for the pc comparison shoppers.

Look, don't sweat it too much (may be too late for that), it's a good machine. This is called: Getting so caught up in your underware that you can't get dressed.
Whatever screen you choose, I'm sure you'll be happy, and if there is a glaring moment, you'll adjust.
Enjoy your new toy!

I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body. It sucks.
BTW, thank you guys and gals for all your input. I guess I am going to have the apple guys pull one matte out and so I can compare the difference. Perhaps they will let me take it outside in sun if I drop off my old student ID.

glossy looks good for a bit it displays every single little scratch / finger print on the screen. and also the glare sucks

i prefer using matte
also glossy is for fags.. and yes i am half fag

o noes! now I am heading back to glossy. I am married so sex just does not happen no more. It is the fucking Olympics at my house, where the one with the fastest time wins. So I am not really worried about that.
I am really worried about the the glossy effect and how much glare I am going to have. I have beautiful deck and would really like to work outdoors this summer. But that is really a small thing. I have shady area, so I could handle some reflection. I just wanted to know if I am shooting myself in the foot with going with matte, or is glossy the who-ra way to go. I live in Oregon, so sun only arrives for 3 months, and it is gone for the other 9. haha.
I love you.

All my camera LCDs are coated glossy as well as my laptop display. Things looks fine outdoors. Obviously not in direct sunlight though.
- digitalswarm0
Mine is coated? Is yours not?
- Mimio0
Kind of counter-intuitive since most digital camera LCDs are coated.

people who knock the glossy obviously do not own one. it's the shit and there is no glare.
and i fuck all sorts of women too.

Like the one of the previous posts said: glossy is fine at home where you can control the light source. But it's a macbook, it's mobile and summer's approaching - you'll wanna' be out of the house.
With a glossy screen? Why not just stare into the sun and get it over with?
- digitalswarm0
Really don't appreciate that, barb.
