I was at the Apple Store yesterday going back and forth trying to decide matte or glossy.

Glare aside , the glossy at first looked much much better.
The matte appeared washed out in comparison.

Being that I was trying to convince myself to go matte, (because that is all they have in stock when it comes to I7 models.)

I thought maybe I could make it look better if I played with the calibration.
After a few eye tweaks, I was amazed how much better it looked, very very close to the glossy.

I'm just wondering what others experiences , if they were similar, and if a below average calibration file is maybe giving the matte a undeserved bad rap when it comes to color vibrancy.
