Mac Book Pro To Gloss or not to Gloss

[jimfrostis]

Hello

Has anyone got any opinions on whether it is better to have the gloss effect on a Mac Book Pro Screen or the matt - particularly with editing images in mind, rather than just playing DVDs etc.

Many thanks!

I find matt screens are better in bright light - they don't reflect. My glossy Compaq screen is unusable in bright light.

I agree any light behind you makes the screen impossible to see. I like the matt screen on my desktop much more. I do like the picture quality better with the glossy screen but in darker areas.

tHE JURY IS STILL OUT ON HOW THE GLOSS SCREEN WILL STAND UP OVER TIME

Thanks guys!

Just found out that my new Mac Book Pro would run my CS 2 at a snails pace becuase of the Intel chips - great!

Does anyone know whether it's true that my CS 2 is not going to be upgradeable to CS 3 and I'll have to buy the whole lot from scratch again if I do end up getting the Mac Book Pro?

Cheers!
