I prefer matte for all activy because when i use glossy there are so many shadow in the screen and that distract me

@J Hamm you can get reflections indoors too. I found that with a small smartphone screen it's easy to hold it in a way it won't reflect but with big laptop screens any angle will reflect. You can't avoid it.

You can always buy an external matte screen cover

@@kasperavi it's never as good as a decent matte coating

Nah, even for entertainment, I prefer matte. Because I don't have any reflections to annoy or distract me. That way, I can focus much, much better.

Thank you!!

That's cool! I've actually never used those anti glare treated ones. But a few people have said it works really well! :)

omg

which product is it?

It's really a lot of preference! Right now I'm using glossy almost all of the time.

Yep thats true but i have the reflection so i have pick matte.

This is actually the flexibility that I am hoping to get for my next laptop. I have ordered a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro which has a very nice 2880x1800 glossy screen. However, I am not sure if I can find a anti-reflective screen protector with the 16:10 aspect ratio. That is if I ever get the delivery of that elusive laptop with an unknown delivery date.

Interesting! Thanks for this input! I'm gonna try this out at some point!

I will be getting my slim 7 pro tomorrow! Exciting times ahead!

@@frilans5974 hi, did you got your laptop already ? How it has been ?

That why I love glossy screen. But sadly, most of laptop in market nowaday sells laptop with matte screen. It's hard to find glossy screen

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like it! :)

I also use glossy in my everyday machine. But I think matte is better in most ways.

I've really been thinking so much about this. It's hard to give a definite answer but I'm going my best!

not sure if anyone cares but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my brother for the last few weeks xD

Interesting! I'm usually not having that problem. It's good to hear different opinions though!

This is why phones and pretty much most devices (besides monitors) use glossy screens. I agree. After all the entire point of the coating is light diffusal.

Phones are like 1000nits tho.

@@Ruptured_AU Not all of them. And TVs. There are tvs with sub 300-250 nits of brightness that are still glossy or actual semi gloss. There aren't any TVs on the market now I can think of that have the ugly disgusting and cheap plastic "matte" coating monitors have on them. Because if someone put that on a TV they'd be laughed at because it destroys image quality and clarity. What is even more sad if you look at say, Rtings, and compare the glare handling of a glossy screen with a high quality proper anti reflective coating (like the new lg oled tvs) and compare it to pretty much any pc monitor it's better. So the nasty plastic "matte" layer isn't even necessary to fight glare.

@@vgamedude12 interesting. Wonder if there is some anti reflection coating I can use put on myself to improve the gloss screen in daylight.

I'm glad! I will make more on the similar topic moving forward! The vs topic I mean! :)

I totally agree with you. I have the exact same issue while using matte screen laptop. As for now, I’m thinking of getting a gloss screen laptop and sell my matte screen ones away

@@livelovelaugh.7867 Cant we just change a matte display to glossy one in the same laptop}?

@@LKArya-bo5jk We can but it will no longer be original and I am afraid that the display colour may no longer be accurate. Plus, it might also void the warranty that comes with it.

You know theres a chrome extension that enables all websites to be in dark mode/theme? Its called Dark Reader.

Me too

at the expense of what though? battery life?

​@@butterflymoon6368mini led screens in yoga pro 9i is about 1400 nits of brightness I believe. Gloss over matte any days. Especially if you have a good display. Otherwise you have wasted your oled or 3k screen with matte.

Vaio! I have had 3 Sony Vaio over the years! They have been amazing! :) Prestige also seems amazing! Have you tried a 400n glossy though? It's pretty nice! :)

Cool, I'm glad you like it! I also just published a video on screen brightness but there's not too much new info in it if you already saw this one.

It's true. I spent A LOT of time thinking about this.

I would agree with this. It's me premium but also annoying sometimes!

Who cares if it looks more premium

Right now I'm only on glossy as well, but back then I was all matte.

@@w2best I wish I could go glossy. Trust me mate, my nitro 5 with a QHD 165hz 100%srgb panel does not look miles better than my 65% srgb 1080p panel from my ideapad 3 gaming. Laptops in general do not have glossy options. And gaming laptops especially don't have that. The only ones that have that, are the vivobook pro, gigabyte aero 16, gigabyte aero 5, that MSI 240hz oled laptop, some razer blades, etc. You can see aside from the vivbook and aero laptops, they are all very expensive options.

Me watching this for same, I want to buy asus vivobook s14 oled but all varients come in glossy finish which I don't want. I prefer matt finish.

@@piyushsingh7203 Why ruin the oled screen with matte? Matte literally degrades visual quality

They did but putting OLED is very much a better decision than using the crap matte coating seen everywhere.

@@siyzerix it's been more than 2 months using this laptop and yes glossy is better than matt in oled screens, the display in this laptop is very impressive.

@@piyushsingh7203 I've literally been using an oled laptop for the past few days and boy oh boy is it a nice step up from my old laptop's matte display. Sadly gaming laptops really don't give us oled options. Would be awesome to play games on it. Not everyone plays RDR2 at 120fps. High refresh rate is just needed for esports titles and even then if you're actually playing competitively. Making a display just for 1 specific type of game is dumb. You leave out racing game (which are absolutely fine with 60fps), AAA titles, combat games (like dark souls, etc.), etc. An OLED 60hz panel would be way better suited to gaming and media consumption than matte panels.

i got the glossy and really ruin my eyes just for 20-40 min watching it,is really dangerous

What is eye strain

@@michaeltsang548 when you use computer for too too long your eyes start to hurt that's eye strain

@@kretoskim8555 ok, i just brought a Dell with matte screen

@@michaeltsang548 good for you the matte screen is best

@@kretoskim8555 really is the best? But i see some people hate the matte

Unfortunately glossy based gaming laptops are quite rare. I think your best bet would be a gigabyte aero 16 with a 4k OLED display and a 100w rtx 3070ti and i7 12700h. Its actually reasonably priced for what it packs coming in at around $1300ish. Battery life would likely hover around the 6hr mark since intel is not very efficient. Either that or the gigabyte aero 5 with the same display but higher TDP rtx 3070ti. There is no touch option on these laptops. I would recommend no touch screen laptop since its just a useless feature. You could go with the vivobook pro 16 that has a 5800h and a 144hz OLED display. Unfortunately it only has a 50w rtx 3050 which has about the same performance as a rx590. But its an okay-ish option for 1080p. Otherwise you're gonna have to settle for a crap matte display. Even the 100% srgb ones don't look that great. Matte literally distorts colors so that 100% srgb isn't very accurate. I would say your best bet is the asus rog strix amd advantage. Has a 100% srgb QHD 165hz display and a rx6800m with a 5900hx. This QHD model gets about 8 hours of battery. The FHD one gets about 10hr of battery life. If you can settle for replaceable batteries, I'd highly suggest the $550 gigabyte g5 with a 85w rtx 3050ti (Basically a 4gb version of the desktop rtx 3050 in performance) or the $800 gigabyte g5 with a 130w rtx 3060 (basically a 6gb version of the desktop 3060 in performance). The 3060 will shred 1080p gaming. The battery life on 1 battery is about 4 hours, but it has swappable batteries, so just buy 2 batteries and you can easily swap out batteries.

I'm glad you like it! This took a lot of prep!

I have the same question!

Thanks a lot! :)

I don't think many people are as photosensitive as you. Have you tried blue blockers or light sunglasses while viewing?

Ok u got a disability no need to write a eesay

so why using laptop, use desktop. and what happen if window are in back and curtain moved by air. many high end desktop monitor have matte screen

Not really, a bright room is enough to be annoying on a low brightness glossy imo.

yeah its because creatives need color accuracy and programmers care about productivity/function for just reading basically

because creatives look at vibrant images and programmers look at a white screen all day

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that!

u use screen protector?

@@munyenyo7534 no it came with acer matte screen

If you're already pouring that kind of money into those specs then I would get the UHD+ touch screen instead. You can adjust the resolution in the display settings (I'm sure you can turn the touch screen on or off too), allowing you to switch between resolutions instead of being locked into one. This also opens you up to 4K content for the occasional YT or Netflix streaming. And since you're going to be indoors most of the time, you'll be closer to an outlet. As for mobility, you can always bring an external battery and/or change your settings to a lower resolution to save battery life while on the go. If battery life is still a concern I would look into 'debloating' windows 11 (ie. turning off animations, uninstalling unused programs, etc.) to add some juice to your usage. And if it still doesn't work out, you can exchange it for the other version and find out for yourself.

@@kobi2822 Thanks for the input. You mentioned a few things I was not aware of. Much appreciated, the reply and the excellent original video above! I have a follow up question if you can: I just watched a review describing updates to Windows 11 from Windows 10, and one of them may be especially relevant to my choice here. Windows 11 apparently has greatly increased the number of gesture features usable on a touch screen (Various finger combinations, swipes, palms...). If I don't get a touchscreen, and one is not available on the XPS FHP+ screens, then either those same new gestures would work on the trackpad, or I just wouldn't be able to use them. Do you know, are the new Windows 11 gestures also usable on the Dell trackpad?

Slim 7 pro is much brighter. Ideapad 5 pro too. Check them out :)

You know wrong.

i love matte screens, much comfortable in using them

It does not impact battery life my man what tf u talking about

Thanks a lot!!

Almost every Lenovo laptop today still comes with a matte screen

@@halffacedsinger but if you select a touch screen option then is glossy..

Its the other way around. Most laptops still use matte. Only now are some using OLED and I say its a welcome change. For example, find me a proper gaming laptop with a glossy panel. They're almost non existent.

I know the feeling, I can't stand glossy screens. The semi gloss TV I used as a display for 8 years was somewhat bearable but the gloss Microsoft Surface I have is awful. It's really hard to find a suitable screen for my HTPC setup where I do a lot of browsing and some work as well as consuming content and playing games. Matte is a good compromise, I don't really care if the image 'pops' less, it still looks damn good and doesn't have the awful reflections. After putting off upgrading my TV for years because everything was gloss I finally gave in and bought a large format OLED monitor. Unfortunately it was overpriced (I suspect due to a combination of low volume and not selling their soul to advertisers like smart TVs do), has much less control over the image and various settings and the support is absolutely abysmal compared to other panels using the exact same screen as a base. Still, I'm loving it.

@@BriBCG The issue with matte is with glossy you cannot use a matte screen protector. But with glossy panels you can. You can just use a matte screen protector to make a glossy panel matte.

Thanks! I'm using an alpha 6400 with a sigma 14mm 1,4 :)

Perfect! Thanks once again for everything! Take care!

😂 yep me too. I'll develop glaucoma like my brother with glossy. Matte is the best

Good to hear this!! :D

Many years ago I discovered that a Dell that I was planning to buy, and which unfortunately had a GLOSSY screen (the only serious flaw I could find), was such simply because its INTRINSICALLY MATTE screen was covered with a transparent plastic sheet! But I'm talking about ten years ago, today I don't know how things are. Anyway, I gave up the purchase and got instead a very good Asus N56VZ with a matte screen, which is still serving me well and which has a very good and very readable IPS display.

It seems lovely! I wish it had some more ports too! :)

Thank you!

I would get prestige 15. Great cpu and gpu at incredible weight. Hard to beat! Extra ssd as well! :)

@@w2best what do you think about fhd or 4k in msi prestige 15?

@@user-sj7dp6bm6h 4k draws a lot of battery but if battery life is not your main concern I think the 4k could be great in 15"!

Tengo matte

I think 45% ntsc is a little too low. I would strive to find a 72% option! :)

@@w2best I don't have enough budget(my budget 50k INR) , these two laptops are hp 14s and 15s plz tell me between these two 1 or 2 . It will be very helpful for me

I think so! I haven't tried it myself though!

I do . Nd it's amazing to use. It really reduces glare Nd reflection outside. Also provides some good friction for writing with a stylus for a better handwriting

Matte plus touch of def less than ideal

Mid range smartphone have 400-500 nits. While high end phone have 900-1600 nits. Thats why its still good. Laptop in the ither hand maxed at at 600 nits and almost all only hve 300-350 nits

That's hard but you can add a matter screen protector to it! :)

@@w2best thanks👍

No to my knowledge that's not possible!

Would not agree tbf! 😊

Haha good catch!!

It's ok, but I'm not sure I will recommend it!

@@w2best thanks for the reply. I have kept it as is for now.

In some way I would say yes. Mainly because a matte screen allows you to run it on lower brightness and therefor putting less strain on the eyes and less strain on the battery. :)

@Marrick-Mutya: When you’re looking at the computer-screen and you’re fighting to see the image [that is] on the computer-screen because all you can see is your reflection or the predominant thing you can see is your reflection, you will be forcing your eyesight & struggling to see an image (in this case the computer-screen’s image). Therefore/Thereby, causing eye-strain.

I did before the Matebook but I'm actually positively surprised!

@@w2best what's that supposed to mean. matte or glossy your prefer after using Matebook. TQ

Do you know you can apply matte coat on glossy screen but not glossy coat on matte screen

Yes u should actually. As a user of matte screen guard on glossy screen it works good enough
