Swap a Macbook's glossy display for matte

Now if only Apple would stop using TN panels on $1200 notebooks =/

For what it's worth Dave, having a love/hate relationship means you love some things about it and hate others. That's a lot different than either hating something completely or loving it completely.

Fortunately for me I don't work with my Mac under fluorescent lighting, so my glossy isn't too bad. I much prefer the matte option though, and I might give this a try.

I am using the power support film on my unibody MBP. I do not have any of the line issues and you can't see the glossy at all, in fact it's almost as good (if not as good) as my matte screens I already own.
I can highly recommend the Power Support anti-glare film.

I looked at the Moshi film. and it's horrible in comparison. I did not like it at all.

And as far as the 13" goes, the 9400m is a pretty powerful graphics card in spite of being integrated. A vast improvement from x3100/gma950's of yesteryear.

I had this done on my white MacBook about 6 weeks ago as I had to get the screen replaced anyway due to a soda explosion. I have to tell you, it is SO worth the money! It is a noticeable improvement from the stock screen (on the older style cases, anyway). I didn't notice any change in battery life with the new screen. I had a few questions I emailed them before I spent the money and they ansewered my compleatly and quickly.

Nice to see this being provided by somebody. It's too bad that Apple stopped offering the option on all models.

Comments on battery life? Increases or decreases for the most part?

I never really find the glossy display to be a problem. I guess if I had really bright lights in my house or if I used my computer outside it might be more of a problem.

I'd call the 13" MacBook Pro an extremely worthy update of the venerable 12" Powerbook G4, which was dearly loved by a generation of pros and amateurs alike.

There is no question that reflections can be a problem in some environments. But there is also no question that the glossy screen is much brighter and sharper than the matte screen on previous models. I was very skeptical of the glossy screens until I compared them side-by-side. Except for the reflections, it's no contest really.

I think i will be buying this for my Macbook there are times when the glare is annoying but the screen is awesome. I believe that we should have an option by default to choose matte or glossy for no added cost.

I actually got the matte film from Moshi and I love it. Unlike the other companies, they cut the film to fit the screen perfectly and it has a black frame to match the screen. It went one really easy too. Much cheaper than the replacement screen.
