Matte option?

For retina models, probably no. As the frame of the screen is black, which shows it is covered with a glass surface.

 

It seems like a good anti-glare screen protector could do the trick because the LCD is much closer to the surface, unlike the previous MacBooks.

 

I still wish they'd just make matte standard

 

Me too! This will do for now though

 

Retina MBP's do not come with a matte option, but the screen is said to reduce glare by 75% over the prior glossy screen.

 

No, the MBP-R doesn't have a matte option, but supposedly glare is reduced. I'll wait to see one to determine if that's true. The non-retina 15" MBPs have a matte option.
