I'd like to share my pet peeve against glossy displays, because nowadays it is hard to find notebooks with matte displays.
I suppose people like (or don't mind) glossy displays, which I find intriguing. To me, their reflective properties are very distracting.
To reduce eye strain, I prefer to use dark backgrounds for my editor & cli, and this makes things worse.
The other day I was watching a World Cup match on a restaurant, and all the LCD TVs had glossy displays. They reflected the internal illumination in a way that made it hard to follow the match.
Perhaps my brain is wired in a strange way, but I think this a plague! What do you think?
