Has anyone seen a glossy screen MBP?

Not that I've seen, but judging from the Macbook Regular, I'd rather have a matte screen. The glare is too significant, I'm glad it's an option on the Pro series machines.

I saw the glossy screen of MB at the Apple store in Long Island this morning. This might be of a matter of personal preference. However, the glossy screen gave me almost instant headache. Some of those who have seen MB said there was no reflection. There IS. I even always keep the contrast of my MBP matte display minimum.

Some folks might be immune from such problem. For the people who read a lot of documents and/or are sensitive like me, matte display is a better choice.

Prospective purchasers who have not used the glossy screen need to check it out before choosing the glossy LCD option.

Yes i have seen the Light! oopps i mean light reflected from the glossy screens, there where around 10 macbook's on display in Regent street London this afternoon. i got a quick look at the black and white machines; as it was hard because people where flockin them like Pigeon to seed. the machines are an excellent replacement to the ibook, and are extream value for money! however ill keep my macbook which i used in store to drive a 30 inch display playing doom! yay
the black macbook is probably going to be more scratch resistant than the white as it has a matt finish on the body. (scratch wise i think these machines are going to be "ipod nano's" all over again.

sorry my mistake, i wrote this for the macbook, not (pro)

Simon, I have. I had immediately switched my 17" order to add the glossy screen. Then I went in to my local store and looked at the glossy MacBooks. After looking from all angles, they are more vivid color-wise. The regular blue swirl wallpaper looked deep blue and very colorful. BUT, there was significant reflections as well.

I called in and changed my order BACK to matte finish - and delayed my ship-date yet once again. lol Live and learn.

Good choice! imagin what would happen when u close the macbook pro and the buttons grate across the glossy screen ?.....

A nightmare waiting to happen if u ask me.

You can only really use it when its dark, as sunlight creates very bad reflections (any light for that matter)
So ask yourself who uses a portable mostly at night? A person asking to be robbed?
You Might aswell get a desktop instead, im sure the imac has a glossy screen.

BUMP...has anyone else seen the glossy screen ..im still debating>>??

I always liked the glossy screen, but having used the matt finished screen I have chosen this as my preference - no glare, I got tired of seeing myself!

The glossy screen is amazing. There is simply no comparison to a matte screen - at all.

I'm a pro user who specializes in high-end color correction/graphic work for a major market newspaper & I am also utterly, absurdly picky about my visual environment. Unless you plan on taking your glossy screen notebook to the beach, the glossy screen is the way to go.

As a photo-editor, this makes me happy, and very sad.

im in the same boat..very funny..and thank you

I just ordered my MacBook Pro a few days ago when the glossy became an option.

I'm coming from a 17 inch Dell 9300 with a glossy screen, which I love.

I do a lot of design and photography. I love the glossy screens for the color and contrast. The reflections don't bother me at all.

Funny thing, I like to look at photos on glossy screens but I only print in matte and can't stand glossy prints. Go figure.

When I'm at home I use a 20inch matte flat panel which I don't mind either.

The glossy screens are just great eye candy.

bump...anyone else??

I think you probably just need to see it for yourself and decide since we all have our preferences. I see the benefits of both but my eyes and mind wigged out when I played with the glossy screen - changing focus rapidly on the task at hand (word processing) and the glare of the screen. I loved the enhanced color of the glossy but the matte was more comfy. Again, you need to try it yourself and make that decision.
