Are there effective anti-glare screens?

What are the pros and cons of the glossy and antiglare screens on the  MacBook Pro?

• Glossy is standard, antiglare (matte) is a $150 option.  What are advantages/disadvantages of each?

• Answer:

  It depends on what you are using it for. One clue is in the fact that matt screens are only available at higher resolutions. They are generally targeted at the professional market.Glossy screens look nicer. The blacks are deeper and the colours richer.Matt screens look a little duller, but give a truer representation of the actual colour, and are arguably easier to look at for extended periods, since your eyes don't try to see through the image to the reflection underneath. With a matt screen you also have the issue of little bits of dust collecting at the bottom of the bezel.It totally comes down to personal choice, but in general I would suggest that you buy a matt screen if you fit the following categories:* A photoshop pro who needs to see the real colour of things.* A coder, staring at a dark screen.* A video editor, you're looking at this thing a lot.Buy a glossy screen if you are a casual user, you just want the web, e-mail, photos and video to look as nice as possible.The only way to really tell though is to try. Pop into your local Apple store and look at the two of them running side by side. After a few minutes, you'll know.Glossy ScreenPros:- Vibrant colourful crisp display with glossy finish- Available in both 1440 x 900 and 1680 x 1050 resolutions- Looks great, design-wise- Looks great when watching movies/playing games- Easy to clean- Improved rigitity to display- Deeper black and crisper image- Improved rigidity to the display assemblyCons:- Reflections from the glass can be distracting- Shows finger prints easilyAntiglare ScreenPros:- Vibrant colourful crisp display with matte finish- Very little issues from reflections- Looks great, design–wise, classic feel- Can work near direct light sources- Doesn't show fingerprintsCons:- Costs more money- Only available in 1680 x 1050 resolution- Not a great viewing angle, in particular verticallySource: http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/mac/what-screen-is-better-for-macbook-pro-glossy-or-anti-glare/QUHPAYTU4DCHT7K42
