I was surprised that the colours were so close side by side. Thanks for the pictures.
I currently have a 15 uMBP and a 17" SR MBP. I like glossy screens for playing games and watching movies. Otherwise they're a pain in the ass. I can only work for a certain length of time before my eyes become fatigued on a glossy screen, then I switch to my matte screen and then it's "ahhhhhh...".
The 24" cinema was brutal. I could only use it at night and during the day with my blinds closed. It's bad enough I'm stuck inside working, but now I can't even look out the window. I ended up taking it back.
They should make a screen where you can actually pop out the glass so you can choose which format you want. After all, you can easily pop the iMac glass out with a pair of suction cups mind you, only to reveal another glossy screen underneath.

Hi, I bought the glossy (my first ever mac!) and it broke on day 30. The fans started making a nasty noise. Apple replaced it because it was new. I decided to go for the anti-glare on the replacement. Because I use it for work I kept the glossy until the new one arrived (apart from making more noise than my old desktop it still worked).
I didn't think many people would have had the chance to have two screens side by side - so that's why I put up the pictures.
Any more requests for pictures or suggestions on how I can make them more useful - get them in before Wednesday as the glossy goes back then!
