Clevo M570RU (np5790) matte or glossy?

Clevo M570RU (np5790) an awesome laptop for sure but i am thinking should i should get the glossy or matte screen. Not sure I would like to know the advantages of glossy over matte vice versa. And i heard it has some super bright capability let me know you views on this and any other thing u might want to add.

 

Not too experienced with glossy, but I'm sure that the rumors about better color fidelity and contrast is probably true, but IMO, the current desktop monitor I have (Dell E207WFP) has good contrast and color with matte screens, plus I think I'll like the fact that glare and dirtiness won't be as much of an issue with matte.

 

Matte:

Pro: It is easier to see in brighter areas, and it does not get dirty as easily. You can touch the screen without messing it up.
Con: May make things fuzzy at times, as in not as crisp as glossy.

Glossy:

Pro: It's a lot crisper, and also a bit brighter. You can change to matte with a customized screen cover, whereas you can't change to glossy from matte unless you disassemble your notebook.
Con: It gets dirty. Fingerprints show up EVERYWHERE.


Choose for yourself




PS
I'm sitting next to two guys, who have SLI GPUs and a stock Merom 2.9GHz, and some other crazy stuff. DDR3 RAM as well. DDR4 GPU vRAM... holy crap I love working here with the notebook people

 

i am telling u i really wana go matte but God am i a sucker for crisp images i just wana know if the matte will provide good images for high res gaming and movie watching. this will be my final investment in a laptop since its upgradeable

 

I honestly wouldn't notice between matte and glossy, really, but this is coming from a guy that has only a matte LCD, but I still think it's "crisp", not blurry at all.

 

Glossy is all in the positioning. Think mirror. If there's a light source directly behind you or 5 to 10 deg to either side, it will produce glare in the form of reflecting that light. Meaning, if a ceiling lamp of any kind is behind you, it will show up as a light reflection on the screen. If a window is behind you, same thing. Otherwise they are not a problem.

One thing though, dark colors on the screen that are close to black will refect somewhat like a mirror. But not like a mirror. Or I should say like a heavily tinted window. You may notice it initially but over time you wont.

Last thing is contrast. They tend to be a bit brighter than matte so if you do heavy wordprocessing you would do yourself a favor an turn down the brightness or contrast. This is of course provided that there's no light source behind you.

 

I used blurry for lack of a better term. Sorry if I caused any misconceptions.

I would go glossy. For one, you have higher resolution, and for two, if you end up not liking it you can buy a matte screen cover and transform it into a matte screen.

 

Yeah I suppose you can "convert" it into matte, but as with anyone that's ever applied a screen protector, that is a real pain to do perfectly. Even on a PSP, which is 420 x 272 on a 4.2 inch screen, that's still hard.

 

I have the glossy (staring at it right now) and I have to say that reflections haven't bothered me once yet. Still, I don't plan on using this outside very often. If your needs require you to sit with bright neon lights behind you, the matte screen might suit you better

 

Yea, the fingerprints show up, but they are also easier to clean off than on a matte screen because it's basically like wiping down a piece of glass.

 

well i am not the neatest of persons oh well i think ill be going with the matte if there isnt any drastic performance cuts.
