The anti glare etched glass is exclusive to the 512GB model - for whatever reason. I can't imagine it costing that much more to produce and I wish they'd have just put it on every model.
If I used my Deck more than I actually do, I'd genuinely consider getting the 256GB model and upgrading the storage, just to get the glossy screen.
Here is a blog post that shows the differences most realistically to my perception of it.
It's not like Deck has a great DPI or brightness to begin with, but the matte coating makes it even worse.
