BIG huge second on that. The reflections on matte screens are unbearable.
Glossy screen reflections are easy to see past because they're pin points -
whereas matte screens are just blurred nasty blobs of reflections that
obscure the whole screen and make your graphics/video look like old foggy
yellow'd headlights from a 1987 Honda. At least that's been my experience
since the beginning of glossy screens.

I have a big window behind me and never really notice it on my 27" Apple
display (LOVE) - but when I go to work on my cintiq (matte screen+wacom
surface) - it really bothers me and I have to black it out.

So don't count glossy screens out - they really have a depth and
gorgeousness that can't be matched. I'd never buy matte again either.
