Not sure about the assembled to ready but once is got to ready/prepared to ship it was < 24 hours to go to shipped. I ordered on the 25th Jan so assembly to prepared was just less than a month :( (although for others its been a lot longer)

Im a designer who cant stand matte, i cant stand the distortion that it gives even when calibrated.

Personally i kinda have a thing for my CRT, but thats a secret haha

I don't hate matte, but I'm a designer who certainly doesn't mind it. I don't understand all the complaints of inaccuracy. Web designers are designing for other people's glossy screens. Page layout is for glossy magazines. Photography is for glossy prints. Seems more like you're not getting an accurate view of the output if you are using matte.
 
My matte screen MBP just arrived...but im on vacation and wont be home for 5 more days....BUMMER!!
 
matte has arrived

my matte 17" has arrived. xbench results to follow. definitely needs to be color calibrated. not to happy that the screen had streaks on it when it arrived. already upgraded the memory to 8gb and the hd to 500gb.'

note: battery health monitor is reporting 0 charge cycles. the battery was fully charged upon booting up.

xbench crashed during the video test.

I dont think we should go to much OT but read this ..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrightView

and especially
"Glossy displays tend to exaggerate colors and shade, to the point in which they over-saturate and have poorer grayscale accuracy"

Thats one reason some wants matte ....

This is your only warning. Please refrain from using common sense and logic when writing about the glossy vs. matte debate.
 
I just got the moved to "Prepared for Shipment" status. I know it'll be a few days before it's shipped and then a few to get it to me. But still it's exciting to finally see a change of some kind

screen is beautiful. i'm reinstalling leopard now. next up, snow leopard beta. :) too bad the finder is still jacked up or i'd just run that full time, it rocks. i'll take a picture next to my 30" acd when i get home. i'll also use a better camera.
