Comments on: Apple discontinues the 23″ Apple Cinema Display http://smokingapples.com/hardware/apple-discontinues-the-23-apple-cinema-display/ Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:01:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Thomas Joynt http://smokingapples.com/hardware/apple-discontinues-the-23-apple-cinema-display/#comment-4033 Thomas Joynt Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:04:17 +0000 http://smokingapples.com/?p=2947#comment-4033 I continued to be outraged that apple is not offering a matt option in either the 24" display or the 15" macbook pro. I will never buy glossy and I will never buy a PC so what am going to do? I don't want a massive f(*&cking 30" display on my desk and I don't want to cart around a 17" macbook pro when my 15" MBP is just perfect. I have written to apple about this asking simply for a matt option in the above listed products. I hope everyone else who thinks like I do can write to them too and hopefully they will listen. Feeling very betrayed after 10 years of being a loyal customer and mac fan. I continued to be outraged that apple is not offering a matt option in either the 24″ display or the 15″ macbook pro.

My 1-year old MBP (Late 2007), with Matte screen, has an LED backlit screen (mine was the first MBP rev to have LED backlighting instead of the previous technology (Cathode, I believe?)). The early-mid 2008 models also offered matte and gloss for their LED backlit screens.

Who the heck thought glossy displays are good all the time??? Combating glare is really painful for the eyes and many times results in imperfections in images which directly have an end result on the final product, be it a studio portrait or video etc. But all we can do is just nothing. Plus, not all professionals are outraged. LED displays a re the future and many pros in the US are switching over to em. Its all about adjusting for the future. I fully agree with notoglossys view.

WTF are they thinking! Well, at least in the displays you can use any other display instead of the Apple ones. but with the notebooks you are stuck to using glossy.
