I actually just returned my glossy screen MacBook Pro and brought home the matte screen version instead. The “glossy screen vs. matte screen” debate rages on… but having used both, I personally prefer the matte version.
I found the glossy screen to be excellent in low light situations but the glare and reflection was too distracting in most lighting. I find the matte screen, although not as bright as it’s shiny cousin, still produces plenty of brightness.
I’ve also heard several reports lately about glossy screens being harmful to one’s eyesight, so I also took this into consideration when making my choice.
