Choosing a Matte Or Shiny Screen For Your Laptop


On many laptop computers made these days, you have a choice between a matte screen and a shiny one. Both have benefits and their strong detractors. Originally, almost all laptop screens were matte finished. The shiny ones are a relatively recent addition and have drawn more than their share of controversy. Traditionally, graphics professions preferred matte screens for higher color fidelity and less eye strain. Shiny screens were reserved for eye candy consumer laptops. Those strict divisions have started to blur recently. Graphics professionals are starting to realize that shiny screen actually reproduce deeper blacks and therefore a broader color range than other screens. They still need to keep in mind that most of the world browses on a matte screen though.
Another practical issue to take into account is cleaning. A shiny screen will show any fingerprint from anyone who touches it. This drives some people crazy and has led to the belief that touching someone else's screen is simply downright rude. A matte screen of course can show fingerprints but won't do it so obviously as a shiny screen. If you are incredibly anal about the appearance and cleanliness of your screen and work with people who are inclined to touch it, a matte screen may be the superior choice for your situation.
At some level, it just comes down to personal preference. Spend some good time in a store using each type. If you have always had a matte screen, it's wise to use a friend's shiny screen laptop for a few days to make sure that it doesn't drive you crazy before you buy your own shiny screen laptop.
