    I'm currently looking for a laptop to buy.

    And I've noticed that for the screens they all state something like ColourShine or BrightView.

    What are the differences between each one? Which is better?

    It just means they r mirrors if u have a light source behind u. Matte screens on the contrary, are, well, matte, so no reflections but not as vivid colors/contrast.

    There usually isn't any difference between the names. It's basically just each companies' fancy way of saying glossy.
