I have a glossy, and I think it looks much richer and sharper than the matte.

matte. glossy is for fags.

screen colors are already unnaturally saturated as it is
- digitalswarm0
Really don't appreciate that, barb.

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?

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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!

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

should I wait till Leopard comes out? ;)

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

I was in the Store a few days ago and decided if I had to choose i would go with glossy. The colors are a lot better. There is the whole glare thing but thats avoidable.

Shit.
/waits. thinks. may pay the extra $500. ugh.
