MacBook Pro Screen Option
I’m looking at buying the 17 inch MacBook Pro. I will be editing with Final Cut Pro on the laptop. Which screen is recommended for this application, the glossy LED or the matte LED? Thanks for any input.

Its a personal choice.
I personally like the glossy.

I like the matte. With a laptop you’ll probably be changing locations from time to time, and you never know what sort of glare or reflections you’ll be contending with.

I’ve been working with the high rez matte for 2 month now and I love it. I have a glossy iMac at work and I find it is very annoying. If you plan to work outside or in cafes with your laptop, better go with the matte, you’ll save yourself some glare blocking time.

Personnaly I prefer the straight specular (controllable) flare that you get from the glossy. The contrast is so much higher than the matt. Having said that I’ve had no experience of the led matt, only lcds.
