complete nonsense.

Most people may not care, but I do. I know the
gloss on Apple branded monitors is not as high as it used to be, but I
prefer to work on a matte surfaced monitor.

only because you've used ****ty glossy displays.


Gee, they were all Apple branded products.


so what?

nobody said everything apple makes is perfect.


All they do is deny that the Apple product under discussion has any
faults. 'They' being you.

Similarly, if I am submitting a print for a print competition, because
of the configuration of the light boxes they are usually viewed under, I
will print on a glossy surface, and underexpose by about a half stop.
OTOH if the print is going to be hanging on a wall, I will usually use a
matte paper. IOW I print for the conditions under which the image will
be viewed.

that has absolutely nothing to do with choice of display.


Only if you are a knee jerk Appleseed.


resorting to insults, as usual.

you're not interested in a discussion.

i should have known.
