Well,this is kinda funny....

I don't know what screen am i having on my MBP....:eek:

I didn't order myself my MBP.I sent my aunt to do this but i was specific:matte,not glossy.

I haven't seen a glossy screen ever so i don't know if i'm having a glossy one.Although it seems different from my 15 MBP i'm not sure if it's because the size....Oh,the current one seems glossy!!

So,do you know any ways to determine?
 
With your computer off and open, position yourself in front of it with a light source above and behind you. Can you effectively use your screen as a dark mirror?

Yes -> you have glossy.
No -> you have matte.
 
If your screen is shiney, you have glossy. If your screen is dull, you have matte.

I prefer glossy on my notebooks and matte on my desktop screens where I do color critical work.
 
Thanks for all the answers!I have glossy although i wanted matte...

Anyway,i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
