    Does anybody know how the Samsung Series 9 displays compare to the Macbook Pro Anti-glare? I believe the Samsung uses an Anti-glare right? I am just curious as to which is better?

    SS9 uses a Matte screen, which should better at reducing glare than the Anti-Glare MBP.

    Screen on SS9 is gorgeous, no glare, great colors and viewing angles

    Currently Samsung is using matte screens on all its non-touchscreen notebooks (I'n not sure about the touch versions).
    I would clarify that the screen on the 13.3" S9 is excellent (it uses IPS - Samsung's equivalent of PLS). An FHD version is imminent for those who want even more pixels.

    The screen on the 15" S9 is above average but is not in the same league as its smaller sibling. It's a standard TN panel. An FHD version is promised for some time this year. It's unclear whether it will also be PLS.
