Is it just me or is it ironic that Apple almost exclusively sells glossy screens, but writes this:
Eye strain refers to ocular fatigue, eye discomfort and headaches associated from intensive use of the eyes. Common causes include:
glare on the computer screen
- coob 15y agoYou have just as much glare on a matt screen, it's just defused. If you angle a glossy screen correctly, you'll have much less glare than a matt screen.
- jonhendry 15y agoA properly-angled matte screen will have less glare than a properly-angled glossy screen. And a matte screen is less finicky about how it's positioned, which is an advantage when you are seated in a place that limits your options. Plus the glossy bezel around the usable area of the screen acts like a mirror. The brightness of the active region overwhelms a lot of reflections, but that doesn't apply to the black bezel. I work on a glossy iMac, and I've been tempted to get strips of matte black material with which I could cover the bezel, using magnets to hold them on.
