"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..."

Main problem with LCD is that they are very difficult to read?

It might be in bright light. If you use a glossy LCD screen, an additional problem is the reflection of a light and other objects. Sometimes it is not easy to adjust the screen to make it less reflective. Often a laptop manufacturer does not offer the option (or at least for now) to choose between glossy and matte screens. There is a solution to replace your LCD screen with the one that you like. It is easy to do even if you are not a technical person. Since most laptop manufacturers charge too much, you may try to find third-party companies on the market that are selling laptop screens. Some of them have a lot of brand new genuine LCD screens for laptops.
