> matte display is great
I thought we moved past whatever technical limitation it was that required matte surfaces on flat displays? It's like having Vaseline smeared on the screen, diffusing all the colour - why would you actively want that?

The issue is, like you said, the smearing and contrast, which was a bigger issue with newer, high DPI displays.
That being said, I do believe there are solutions - I have used 4k Matt displays that don't have the aforementioned issue, I think most glossy displays are there for there as a form over function thing.
Glossy displays are still annoyingly reflective and good antiglare coatings are exceedingly easy to damage
Why some manufacturers would want to use glossy on any non-touch device is beyond me.
Colour vibrancy and sharpness. A matte screen is literally a defuser between you and the actual content.
And displays arent high-resolution enough for it to be a big deal anyway.

I mean it is great and all top places are pretty similar, but "nothing comes close" is just completely wrong.
Utter garbage in my opinion.
For my digital-artist friends, they do prefer the over-bright glossy displays since it's actually a critical need for their process.
I already said why: reflections and glare make for a terrible work experience. That's why matte is the default preference for most people.
> Like if you wanted it blurry you could have done that in software.
The "grains" (for lack of a better word) in a matte coating are truly microscopic. They don't make anything blurry. I get the impression that either you're just trolling or you've never actually seen a matte display.
