I have always opted for the most matte display I can get. I paid significantly more if I recall correctly for the matte screen option on my 2010 MacBook Pro, and held on to it for years and years.
I just ordered the standard Studio Display. I figured since glare didn’t bother me much on the 2017 5K iMac the added cost and issues with cleaning were big enough drawbacks to not order nano-texture, although I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nano-texture display in person.
With small children in the house I expect that a nano-texture display inevitably will be mucked up beyond cleanability sooner or later, and I’ll be sad. Smudges are the one thing I hate more than glare on a display.
Anyone with iMac or XDR experience with both standard and nano-texture care to weigh in?
Did I make a mistake? Should I change my order?
