I am in the process of deciding which macbook pro to get for my new job. I am in the web design business and wanted to know if the glossy vs matte has any difference in color accuracy/difference in calibration.
Thanks!
Thanks!
it is the same LCD panel on either model, but the glass does interfere slightly with color accuracy i have heard.
has this been established with certainty?
Yes. It is in the article linked above.
What's been established? The article notes the glossy reflection issue, but notes no color accuracy difference between glossy and matte.
That's really the issue isn't it? People are relying on their opinions based on the default out of the box colors. Judgments based on color needs to be made from computers that have been calibrated the same. Very few people actually calibrate their monitors so of course they are going to look different.After calibrating both with huey pro they look exactly the same, colors, blacks, saturation, the same.......except one has reflections.
Apple either puts 'glass' (it's not really glass, but whatever) on top, or it puts the matte plastic screen with aluminium bezel around it. The actual LCD panel used in the glossy and matte MBPs are the same. Why would they be different? It doesn't make any sense, and it would cost Apple more money, and be more trouble in terms of manufacturing, and keeping displays in stock.has this been established with certainty?
