Hi,
I have finally made the decision to buy a Macbook Pro 17 instead of a MBA. The big question is...... Should I get the Matte screen or Glossy? I really can't decide because:
  1. I am going to use my MBP for video and photo editing, media playback, and other ways using Glossy.
  2. BUT I use my laptops in many environments both being either dark or bright. And I don't want the hassle in wiping fingerprints off the screen.
So I have come to this decision, I get the Glossy Screen but then get a Matte/Anti-Glare screen protector so I can take it off when i need to.
Has anyone found a screen protector for the 17 inch MBP yet?
I've tried the best company for it, Power Support, but they don't have one..
Thanks.
 
no u can't easily peel off the anti-glare film screen without letting it full of dust.

i have UMBP17" glossy and used an anti glare screen film, but after one day using it, i can't take the ugliness of the screen because of that screen film, especially in white colors area where you can see some kind of small dits in rainbow colors. then i peel it off and had to live with the glare.

i regret not buying the matte one.
