anti glare seems to always win these polls. i wonder what percent antiglare is for total sales
For the 15" MBP, that's 150 $ extra.
100 for hi-res and 50 for AG

Please lets not start this one again?? The thread will remain endlessly on the front page as people endlessly argue personal preference or requirements and fail to see neither is better then the other...
Am I the only one who thinks the standard 1440x900 panel is the best?
- The extra pixels of the high res are great, but I just found the writing too small!
I bought a "11 15" 2.2 Glossy and wish I got a hi-res AG. It's not that glossy doesn't look good but the angle of the screen when sitting in my lap picks up all the ambient light in the room/area.
GS: more pop, richer color, brighter
AG: less reflective
WrongAs "anti-glare" is so named, it does in fact stop much of the reflections you would normally see on the screen. The problem (and what your image doesn't show) is that it takes all the same light that would have been reflected from a single point and diffuses it across a larger part of the screen. To me, this is much worse. Try reading both types of screens outdoors and you'll see what I mean - the AG is much harder to use.
Wrong
a.) really try them. The AG is never a problem, the glossy is from impossible to really inconvenient.
b.) Maybe you should read a little about AR coatings. Hardly any AG screen is "only" Anti Glare they usually all sport an AR coating that reduces the reflected light by a certain %. It is possible to around 60%. Thus you actually get less reflected light. These coatings are really thin and would work on a glossy screen too. Sony uses them but Apple does not on its mirror which is why it is such an incredibly terrible glossy screen.
You can test this when sitting out side the sun opposite you and (if you are Caucasian with your bear chest) or a bright T-Shirt. AR screens will suffer a little but still work. Glas glossy are impossible to read anything. AR coated glossy can sometimes still be read a little bit at least, compared next to each other one can clearly see the difference.
If all the reflections where simply spread out you wouldn't see a much at all kind of like you tell it.
lol @ glossy people trying to justify their purchase ahead of the AG.

AG is the best option if you can afford it.
