Christian SeligI will never understand this phenomenon
Ihar Filipau@christianselig Reflections make any professional work (that involves disproportionate amount of reading off screen) with the glossy displays hard and tiring. Pretty much all professional displays (incl few tablet model lines) have matte screens. (Pretty much only profession that likes glossy screens are the graphic designers (for color reproduction). And marketing. Because marketing like shiny things.)
@ifilipau If it's a decent monitor it should be able to get more than bright enough to fight off a normal amount of sunlight, unless you're working outside. I sit beside a window and it's no problem except with dim monitors
"it should be able to get more than bright enough ..." to also slowly burn through your retinas. Beware. But in the end it's your eyes, and you free to do with them whatever you want.
P.S. ~20y ago people have had similar discussions about why dark mode for the OSs was a stupid/etc idea.
@ifilipau There's no scientific evidence that screen use impacts your vision. There's been some studies that have shown correlation with blue light emission, but anti-glare does nothing to stop that https://www.nvisioncenters.com/education/screen-time-and-your-eyes/
It may increase eye fatigue, but you should be practicing the 20-20-20 rule regardless
Zitrone@christianselig @ifilipau r u trolling?
if a screen is too bright its tiring. thats why we use darkmodes.
dark elements will always reflect on a glossy screen, no matter the contrast, resulting in an unclear picture, stress.
if its an option matte costs more. its way cheaper to get colours shining bright on a glossy screen. perception. easy to fool home-(and apple-)users.
no photographer ever would use a glossy screen, you need precision, real black and real white, no tampering, no reflection.

@zitrone @ifilipau Tiring isn't the same thing as eye damage, any screen use will introduce eye fatigue, that's why there's the 20-20-20 rule to begin with
Someone doing professional photo or video editing wouldn't be doing so in a brightly lit room regardless (professional mastering monitors are used in rooms with the lights off, for instance)
I assure you all photographers are not the same and plenty of great work is done on glossy laptop screens :)
@christianselig @ifilipau tiring is part of work safety. the right amount of contrast will keep you concentrated way longer. as well as a non-reflecting read compared to a reflecting one.
unless your picture is all white or all black, its impossible not to reflect, the screen is a light source.
theres no professional glossy monitor in existence for a reason.
cinema is played in the dark, everything else is not, so daylight is prefered!
and sure, you can learn how prints come out working glossy.
