Unibody Macbook Pro 17" used with 24 LED ACD.

Would it make any sense to get the matte option for using with the ACD, where you are running photo/graphics etc., simultaneously on both monitors... going back and forth?? Would any advantage you have when you're mobile with the matte be a problem when your're back connected with the glossy? Personal preferences, of course.

Would your eyes go nuts? Would it be better to stick to glossy - glossy??

New guy question. Discuss. Thanks!
 
It's all personal preference. I think it would be rather annoying to have a Matte 17" if your using it as a 2nd monitor as colors and such will look different from one monitor to the other, but again thats just me.

Do what you like, it's your money 🙂
 
i have this set-up. honestly i was a matte guy. i just couldn't wait to get my hands on the new machines. they both work great! if i get any reflection i just crank up the brightness. I have no regrets!
