What the heck did those people do for the first 25 years of home computing?
CRTs all had glass screens. Did they just suffer for years util the first LCD screens came out? I must admit I never had a problem looking at a CRT.
Were you around during that entire era? Because in fact, it was a problem, but here's why you can't just write off an apparent lack of complaints for 25 years of computing on CRTs. People didn't sit in front of their computers for 8+ hours at a time back then. Up until the mid-90s computers were part of the work place in more of a tangential way. You might sit at the computer for an hour or so and then work elsewhere. It wasn't like the mid-90s to now where people might spend an entire shift staring at a computer screen.
Now, to all those who want matte display:
iMac has a glass panel covering most of it's front side and not only the display. Even if you stick in a matte display under it, it would still appear as glossy, so they cant make an option for matte without significant redesign of the iMac's front side. Is this so hard to figure out? >.>
Right, because there's absolutely no conceivable way Apple could offer that option the way they offer it on the MacBook Pro, and we long-time customers who already pay a premium for Apple software and hardware should be grateful and just shut up and take what Steve Jobs hands down from on high.
