Glossy or matte anti-glare coating display?

[ppuga]

Hello mates!

I will be upgrading my Powerbook G4 to a MacBook Pro in a couple of weeks, and I was looking in www.apple.com and one of the options for this laptop is to choose from 2 displays:

The glossy or the Anti-Glare coating Matte.

In the page is this info:
Choose the glossy widescreen display to make your graphics, photos, and videos appear with richer color and deeper blacks — great for watching DVD movies. If you prefer a display with anti-glare coating for a matte rather than glossy viewing experience, choose the standard widescreen display.

For photo viewing and editing, wich one you preffer? Wich is the best option?

Does the richer color and deeper blacks will affect the real color of the pictures?


All comments could help.

Thanks.

The glossy is nicer to look at in ideal conditions but reflections are worse. It really depends on where you will use it and whether you can control the environment to get the best out of the monitor.

Agree with HUN my laptop has a glossy screen, give a great saturation to colours but suffers when your in a well lit environment. I also find the glossy finish seams to show every single mark on it even more than the normal, becomes a pain keep cleaning it:bang:

Any chance of you getting to your nearest Apple shop or Selfridges (Don't they have Anvinka (spelling) in store?)

Always better (if possible) to look at something in the flesh before parting with your cash.
