Matte screens are better for when there will be bright lights behind the user because it will cut back on glare, but without this problem glossy screens show a more vibrant picture.
Both screens are good. The glossy worked best for me. Glare was never an issue for. If video is not your primary use of computer, and you are in extreme lighting situations all of the time, then the matte is a good choice.
The opposite of "glossy" is "matte."
Matte surface is typically found on materials like paper, chalkboard paint, or some electronic displays (e.g., matte monitors, matte screen protectors). It does not have a glossy or shiny finish and helps reduce glare or reflections.
To transform glossy paint into a matte finish, you can lightly sand the glossy surface to create a rough texture, then apply a matte topcoat or finish over the sanded area. This will help to dull the shine and create a matte appearance.
To achieve a combination of matte and glossy surface finishes on cans, you can use a two-step coating process. First, apply a matte finish coating using a matte varnish or a matte paint, ensuring even coverage. After the matte layer dries, selectively apply a glossy varnish or lacquer to specific areas for contrast, using techniques like screen printing or masking to control the application. This method allows for a distinct visual appeal by highlighting certain features while maintaining an overall matte texture.

Matte finishes have a flat, non-reflective surface, while glossy finishes have a shiny, reflective surface. Matte finishes are more subtle and can reduce glare, while glossy finishes enhance colors and details.
"Glossy and matte screens are absolutely interchangeable and it's just the type of the screen surface. Glossy screens use an optical coating to reduce the amount of external light reflecting from the surface without affecting light emanating from the screen. Their shiny surfaces still reflect more light than matte displays, but are less reflective than an uncoated glossy display would be; reflections of external light sources are not diffused by glossy displays, so certain lighting conditions tend to favor a traditional, anti-glare screen. In controlled environments, such as darkened rooms, or rooms where all light sources are diffused, a glossy display may be more enjoyable for the viewer..."
It's simply a non-glossy finish.
I did a science project on this and came to a conclusion that shiny (or glossy) nail polish lasts better and longer than matte nail polish. The brand I used was Sinful Colors.
A crystal cover for a MacBook is typically a clear, glossy shell that offers a sleek look while allowing the original design and color of the MacBook to show through. In contrast, a matte cover has a non-reflective finish that reduces glare and fingerprints, providing a more subdued appearance. While both types of covers protect against scratches and minor impacts, the choice between them often comes down to aesthetic preference and desired texture.
Matte surfaces have a flat finish with minimal shine or reflection. They do not reflect light in a way that glossy surfaces do, resulting in a non-glossy appearance.
