And yet the Dreamcolor on which I&#x27;m reading this is matte.<p>The worst part visually is the bounce from the white wall behind me, which would be much worse if it were glossy.<p>Colors are always going to be dependent on ambient light, since your perception of the white point changes. And if color is important to you then vibrancy probably isn&#x27;t, since calibrating a monitor can only ever shrink its gamut.<p>IMHO, glossy screens came from the same place as shortscreens and white backgrounds (for emissive displays) - Hell.<p>As far as laptops, just get a used Thinkpad (real one - X, T, or W). I hear HP has a good business line too, if they&#x27;re your kink.
