Keep this thing in mind that nothing could remove glare but somehow it can be reduced. In glossy screens, colors are highly vibrant, contrast, and accurate. The quality of the pictures and colors are quite smooth.
Pictures on glossy are crystal clear and texture free. A bit of dust and smudges look very nasty on-screen and you have to clean them every time. You can remove dirt and stain without any distilled water. How do you feel when you touch the screen several times but there is no response? Surely, you will freak out. Glossy screens have quick sensors. The glossy screen display has a reflection of the object on the screen and those reflections can distract you during work.
Moreover, due to these reflections, you cannot see clearly what is actually appearing on the screen? There is no doubt that the glossy screen badly affects the eyes. The glare of glossy display degenerate or decline eyes nerve. If you stare for a long time on a glossy screen, your eyes will get strain and tired easily.
Obviously not! Matte displays are more qualify to reduce or eliminate these distracting reflections. The anti-glare surface of the matte display provides a good quality image when you placed it in direct sunlight or under very intense lights. The matte screen works as a protector for eyes that reduces glare and harmful rays. It does not merely mean that we can use a matte screen laptop for getting very close to display because the matte screen does not eliminate the glare.
Smudges and dust stains on a matte screen do not give an impact of awkwardness because of the dull surface. And due to this, you do not need to be quite conscious about the cleanliness of the matte display. In any way, matte screens cannot beat glossy screens when it comes to color accuracy.
In the matte display, every color looks a little hazy especially white color. Matte screen has the weak image quality and colors are not as vibrant as on glossy screen. Apple extended the glass layer to the laptops because it looked better probably because matte screens looked worse than phones. Before them the screens were matte. Of course, everybody copied Apple and introduced glossy screens, because when looking at a glossy and a matte screen next to one another in a shop the glossy will win.
And of course, everybody introduced glossy screens without the anti-reflection coating that Apple uses cargo cult , so it made everything worse. There was a time period when you had to really search for a non-glossy screen. Now it's a bit better, you can find them, but the touchscreen ones will always be glossy, and I did not yet see an OLED without glossy screen could be because they are more fragile, although folding OLEDs do exist, so it's not clear.
I've never seen an apple laptop with an anti-reflection coating that worked. I think that's just marketing. Wait, is this why they push minimalist, tons-of-white-space design? I had a late MacBook Pro with matte screen, the one with the "ugly" silver bezel around it. It was the last model ever that offered a matte coating. It was fantastic.
I used it for over 8 years and even after the first retinas came out I still preferred my old matte screen. Then they reduced the glare but still I think even better DPI and contrast don't make up for the fact that you're staring at your own face all the time.
And it really puts a strain on your eyes as they need to constantly "filter" the focus. I hate glossy screens. That model still had the sculpted silver keys? Agreed,I liked that the silver keys, silver body and bezel, almost invisible logotype made the screen the main focus.
That matte screen was fantastic. In bright situations, everything around is also bright and reflective, but with matte, nothing reflected in the screen. It was great. At the time, I was a designer and it allowed for total focus on the work. By far, my favorite laptop experience. Glossy screens on laptops long predate anything that Apple did. Here's a group test of glossy screens from March , you know.. Lenovo has matte touchscreens. Thinkpad Yoga for example. Joeri 9 months ago parent prev next [—].
OLED is less bright, so it makes sense they would take all the nits they can get by not adding a matte layer. Generally matte or antireflective screens are easy to find in the business laptop segment.
This seems like a possible explanation of the recent trend away from choices of screen finish. Not sure why Apple would do this though, since they largely compete with themself. Another annoying aspect of screens is not bright enough during bright daylight and not dark enough in darkness. Spooky23 9 months ago parent prev next [—]. Consumers love glossy displays. Colors look better, the screen looks brighter, and they are easier to clean. I used to do volume specs of laptops for a big enterprise as a side duty.
If you had a spec that incorporated brightness, glossy would always win. Many developers prefer matte screens because it makes text easier to read and puts less stress on the eyes. Many designers and gamers on the other hand prefer glossy screens as they look more vivid. As a developer, I could not use a glossy screen for the life of me.
Thankfully there are many laptops with matte screen. Let me find it I work at a company that amongst other things sells mid-high end monitors mostly to photographers and graphic designers for people who need the colours to be true we distribute monitor-calibrators and colour systems.
We also have Imacs that we look after for a customer in the office right now, and some cinema displays. We happened to be moving some stuff around recently and I was stuck by the texture differences between cinema displays and Imacs versus the lovely soft displays on say an Eizo or high end Benq.
I can only say it is all about looks rather than function for any machine with a glossy display. My previous gen mbp 15 had a gorgeous matte screen which I love. I'd say this is the product of brand dna, targeted audience and a bit of randomness.
I think a good glossy screen with this special coating which makes reflections barely visible and if, then they are deep purple such as on MacBooks, is on par with matte screens. Latter try to avoid the reflection by blurring them which might work here and there better but at the end of the day it's a matter of taste since this matte blurs coming from reflections are also annoying.
Non-coated glossy screens or with a cheap coating are clearly inferior in this regard. Coming now to other motivations, a glossy screen at the point of sale: A Macbook with a glossy screen in a shiny Apple Store is just way more impressive and will trigger more impulse buys.
It's like a jewel or expensive watch sparkling in all its glory at you. Glossy screens go also seamlessly to the edges or in other words, there is no bumpy plastic edge which just looks more like a slick and polished product. But be aware that Lenovo puts glossy screens on very similar specced Yoga models which target consumers and are found at the point of sales.
Those models have also more showy aluminium cases while the Thinkpads have also beautiful cases but their beauty is more of a subtly beauty which needs longer to lure buyers into a buy if they aren't loyal ThinkPad users already. Visit our corporate site.
