Glossy screens
Glossy screen coatings are are ostensibly designed to enhance image brightness and contrast. In our view, they simply cause the display to become distractingly reflective. If you work near a window, or have fluorescent lighting near your desk, you'll probably see more of your reflection than your spreadsheet or word processor. Regrettably, manufacturers seem to be leaning towards glossy screens these days, particularly on more consumer-focused notebooks (Apple's new MacBooks, for example, no longer offer a non-glossy screen). Our preference, however, is very definitely for matte screens.
