Last Matte Macbook Pro...?

[thealmightygoat]

Hey,

Which was the last Macbook, Macbook Pro and iMac to feature a matte screen?

Ty in advance to anyone who can help.

Even the 2012 Macbook Pro has a Matte Screen option....

What about the iMac?

There hasn't been a matte iMac since September 2007.

Heck, I used to think matte > glossy. After that post, I thought "how often will I end up using my MBPR outside?" The answer was "ultra rare".

Matte displays look horrible now.

that comparison doesnt seem fair, because those classic pros dont have a big viewing angle range and the picture is not up front.

True, but when I compare a glossy cMBP and a matte cMBP side by side, at an awkward angle, the former has to deal with glare while the other looks washed out.

OP: iMacs don't have - or need - matte at all because they are designed to be used indoors.

For professionals who spend a lot of hours in front of the screen, matte is the best for your eyes.

Umm, matte isn't better than glossy indoors, especially since you have some degree of control over lighting. Sun rises? Lower the window blinds. Harsh light glare from above? Adjust the iMac.

It is when you are outside where matte works better than glossy, but how often do you use iMacs outdoors?
