[...] I, for one, welcome my new glossy screen overlords and look forward to my 17" MBP arriving next month.
Then, when you get it, open a program with a dark background (like iTunes), stay in a controlled-light environment but well lit (with a lot of light) and come back to say how much you enjoy the new experience.
The problem is not glossy vs. matte here. Here we are speaking about a super-glossy, mirrorish display where you can see yourself even against windows with a white background.
I need to open a new discussion with picture depicting what many people, including me, are saying about this new glassy screen.
