Apple has quietly reintroduced matte displays on its line of 15-inch MacBook Pros, available as a $50 addition at checkout you’re when ordering directly from Apple’s Web site. The new antiglare display with matte finish is ideal for photographers and other print-based art professionals, as calibrating a glossy display for accurate color is not always possible, making it difficult to match the on-screen colors to printed results.
Over the past two years, Apple has reintroduced its entire line of products with glossy displays, with the unibody MacBook Pros and latest Apple Cinema Display dropping their matte finishes. Glossy displays may look better when you’re browsing the Web or watching a movie, but many professionals prefer the accuracy of a matte display over the boosted color and contrast of a glossy display. The new antiglare display will include a silver bezel, such as those found on previous-generation aluminum MacBook Pros, while the glossy displays will retain their shiny black border.
