I'm sorry i know you professionals need the matte but it looks washed out and bland to me.
That problem could solved once you calibrate the screen. So, your point is moot.

Yeah. On the other hand, if the consumers (who look at the graphics that professionals make) are all on glossy screens with super-vibrant, oversaturated colors that jump out at ya, we might have to adapt. What looks like a nice, muted red on your screen could look like a traffic light for the end user.That problem could solved once you calibrate the screen. So, your point is moot.
Biggest liar ever. I can get those reflections every time I go to the Apple store on every single unibody. Even using my friend's UniMacbook I get those reflections. Stop lying or be in denial. The fact of the matter is there is reflections, you just choose not to see them.
It always amuses me how some people get all wound up because their preference for display characteristics isn't shared by all...
The issue is simple, and it isn't which type of display is better...that's all subjective. The issue is choice. People on this thread are expressing their preferences, and thus the choices they would make... if only they could. Apple did the right thing by bringing back the matte choice for those who want it, and leaving the existing glassy choice for those who like it better. I can only imagine the outcry if Apple did what they did before when they eliminated matte, and this time eliminated the glassy. Same story, just switch the players.
So, for all you emotional types: What's wrong with letting customers have a choice? I haven't really heard a valid reason anyone can come up with, especially if it's their choice which is eliminated.
I want all Apple customers to be happy, because I want Apple to be around for a long time. The Microsoft world gives me the creeps. (just thought I'd throw that little poke in there...)
You don't like my blue eyes? Well, maybe I'll change the pic after I pose with shades.ps - you should put some sunglasses on in your advatar pic

Sorry 'bout the slight off-topic reply...

Nothing wrong with choice, but if you want choice you couldn't have picked a worse manufacturer. Aside from iPod Nano being available in all the colors of the rainbow, there aren't really any choices, just a very spartan product line. They've been constantly narrowing the window of choice for many years now, with fewer and fewer color options, fewer and fewer BTO options, and the only logical conclusion is that they hope to one day reach a one-size-fits-all stage where desktop machines have been eliminated and all they have is a single laptop with no BTO options. And we'll all wear identical blue uniforms with the Apple logo and an iPhone implant in the right temple, watching Steve on the big screen... and the irony meter goes up to 11 when you consider Apple's vintage 1984 commercial.So, for all you emotional types: What's wrong with letting customers have a choice?

I do not know how people can use a mirror in front of them and like the reflections.
I laughed for about 5 minutes when they announced the new iPod Shuffle with no buttons whatsoever, it's something I've joked about for years and then they actually go and do it.
While backing up your argument for why matte is better - you said the pictures do not do justice for it and it is much better in real life.
That alone shows that your thread is utter pointless and that photographs to compare displays is useless.
Me too.
Then I thought: "Well, if I bought one just for running, it's more than bearable."
My problem is that I can't control it with my new earphones, which are far better than the new Apple in-ears. For running purposes, I wouldn't really need control over the tracks, but volume control would be nice.
I'm not exactly dying to spend even more money for a pair of compatible earphones just because Apple's $79 mp3 players require such a purchase to make them bearable (the included earphones are useless). My earphones are ace. Apple's aren't. If high-ish end earphones compatible with the new Shuffle are released, I wouldn't want to buy another set of high-end ones.
I'm still considering the purchase though.
Grow the hell up man. I wrote what I experience and was not condescending nor rude to anyone, unlike your pathetic self. I realize others may experience this issue, but I do not. Take it or leave it, your still pathetic in the end.
