I fell asleep, so we're doing this again.>>107011448>>107011729>>glossy>so you get all the brightness from the displayAs if it's somehow darker?...>and it reflects all the brightness in the room tooYes, that is what a glare is called. This is undesirable.>>107012954>Why would I want a visually obstructive layer blocking and refracting the oncoming light? Oncoming light? Don't you know your shit isn't front-lit like a Game Boy? How is it visually obstructive?>Just buy a brighter panel to drown-out reflections.Imagine having something called a "window" in the room, you've probably heard of them.
Glossy feels more expensive and fancy but ends up being obnoxious in practice so I'll just stick with matte. Glossy is really only an Apple thing anyway.
>>107018242>Glossy is really only an Apple thing anyway.No? I mean I haven't been in the market for a new monitor in a long time. Unless something changed since then, way too many monitors and laptops would have glossy screens, the same with TVs, too.
Bump
>>107018064no laptop should ever have a glossy screen. Glossy is for when you control the lighting and can make sure that nothing is reflected on the screen. This is possible with desktop monitors, but the whole entire point of a laptop is taking it to random places where you *don't* control the lighting.
the best thing about glossy screens is that feeling of smoother image while the matte ones are very sharp. But as the >>107020511 anon said, in laptops, they can become a pain in the ass.
>>107021109>the best thing about glossy screens is that feeling of smoother image while the matte ones are very sharp.Wouldn't it be the opposite, despite how little it would be?
>>107021109>>107021290*how little difference
I got an MBA 15 inch M4, and I like it a lot, but my eyesight is strained heavily due to the screen. It's definitely not the scaling or text being too small. Since increasing it doesn't helpIt's could be glossiness, but I spend most of the time indoors with blinds shut, and there's not a lot of sun anyway right now, so idkWhat I'm thinking it is, is the high density of the pixels itself. Before that I was using a 1366x768 15,6 inch laptop for like 10 years with no issues. Right now though I literally feel my eyes straining at the MBA screen.What should I do? I don't wear glasses, and want to preserve (whatever is left of) my eyesight. Should I get an old low-res external monitor? Or an old laptop with a shitty screen? Since that is proven to cause no issues?Or should I just accept my eyes are going to be fucked?
And yeah the reason I'm worried is my eyesight actually got worse
Meme things like this don't help. So it's prob not PWM or other form of dithering, or flickeing
