i was a big basher/hater of the glossys when they came out on the MB....
then my fiance begged for a blackbook so i caved and got her one...
i have to admit the glossys are brighter and have much less glare/reflection than pc glossys.... i even took it into my office one day with all over head flourescent lighting that is very bright.... with the brightness cranked on the blackbook the screen looks absolutely stunning with no reflection or glare whatsoever!
also when i look at my powerbook g4 matte screen outside it is very washed out and i can barely see it... the glossy MB screen looks fine outside....
im actually thinking about getting a MBP merom with a glossy when they are released.
i was even one of the guys who posted the pics of the blackbook booting with all the glare.... those pics really dont give the new screen justice... it is not as bad as everyone makes them out to be
