Not sure if I'm the only one seeing this, but when I checked out the matte in the Apple store, it seemed like the matte screen lacks a crispness/pop to the image. The image looks like it was ran thru an "edge blur" filter. I'm staring down a matte screen right now (work PC laptop) and it has none of that effect of the MBP matte screens. Its almost like the MBP matte screen causes color bleed?

Sorry for the descriptions - I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, but the image seems to lack the sharpness/crispness of the glossy.

Maybe your eyes deceiving you. The glossy does saturate colours more, so they do "pop" but the matte still has fantastic colours.
