Photographer - anti-glare screen or not

A photographer I believe will see truer colors with a matte screen over a glossy screen. Don't know anything about anti-glare. Glossy still shows light highlights from background light.

If you do Photography solely on the MBP, I would say get anti-glare... just so you don't have to come on here and have everyone tell you that you should have went with anti-glare if you are not happy with the color. However, if you do it on the side, I say whichever way you go isn't going to hurt you. The glossy screen will give you richer, deeper colors. Some people say they can't cope with reflections, etc. But when you have reflections in bright lit rooms, simply turn up the brightness and the reflections go away. I'm using this in a very bright room with lighting behind me, and my LCD brightness is adjusted to drown out the reflections, and not blind me at the same time.

I'd contact the authors of Spyder Pro and ask them which screens have they been able to use for calibration from Apple.

Hi, I bought the Anti Glare MBPro..very satisfied with colors etc..

hi,

anti-glare all the way. the glass display will show every reflection - not good if you are trying to adjust photos.

regards,

forget the screen glare options, the glare from the casing makes any of these aluminum finished laptops virtually un-usable outside in the sun - a much more significant issue unless you are always going to use it inside - they are positively uncomfortable to use outside because of sun reflection direct into your eyes!

As an attorney, beg your pardon, "solicitor", is the best you can do is whine endlessly?

I debated this question heavily before buying the 17 inch anti-glare. Even after the purchase I wondered. I cannot be more pleased. The newer versions of the AG screen seem very rich in terms of color and depth. You will be well-served by the AG version. The glossy screen looks nice, but the reflections are there, and the color saturation seems just as good on the latest 17 inch models. Good luck in your purchase.
