I need to purchase a Pro Display XDR and have worked with matte displays my whole life (despise glossy :)). I also have a window with strong sunlight facing the monitor screen which makes things worse (even with matte screens)

So nanotexture is the obvious choice, but I went into the Apple store and got to see a Studio Display with nanotexture and IMO it was terrible.

Text and graphics looked overly blurry and fuzzy, with the glossy screen clearly superior in terms of sharpness. The nanotexture Studio Display fuzzyness was much worse then my matte screen NEC displays, which still keep very high level of sharpness.

So my question is this, has anyone been able to use or try the XDR and Studio display nanotexture displays side to side and say if the Pro Display nano texture is essentially the same as the Studio Display and shows alot of fuzzyness? Im silently hoping the nanotexture on the XDR is of some kind of higher quality and the screen remains very crisp as any traditional matte screen does.

Its a big purchase and I cant see the nanotexture XDR in person anywhere, so I'm getting nervous/on the fence on what to do
