Experts promoting glossy screens often claim better color intensity and contrast ratios than their matte counterparts. The problem is that glossy screens only work best under controlled lighting situations. Whenever screens are exposed to direct light, they produce an unwanted glare. This glare annoys the user and diminishes the vibrancy of what’s being projected on the screen. Many newer glossy screens offer an optical coating that diminishes this glare, but even if your screen isn’t already protected, you can reduce the glare on your glossy screen by using an anti-glare film.
