[X4U] Users' judgments of the glossy screen?

[Neil Laubenthal]

It's really a personal thing. I have the glossy screen on my MacBook  
Pro . . . and it's used outside in the sunshine, in my family room  
which has glass on three sides, inside at night and in various other  
combinations.

Reflections are just a non-issue; and the brightness/sharpness is  
significantly better than the matte screens provide.

The real solution is to go look at it . . . either you will love it or  
hate it and either way the correct answer becomes obvious.
