    hey guys, after reading countless threads and articles on the MBP glossy vs matte debate, i decided to go with the glossy in the end. my mbp is coming on tuesday (words cannot express how excited i am) but if the reflections on the screen get to me, i wanted to know if there was another route. so i did some researching and found this -> http://www.powersupportusa.com/products/ef.php?category=pb
    has anyone tried some sort of product like this out? If so, I'd like to know how well it works and if it still keeps the same crispness and color of the original glossy screen. thanks guys!

    i wouldn't worry about it at all, I highly doubt it will really be an issue for you at all, just enjoy your new machine and its lovely screen.

    I thought glossy would be a problem, but when I visited the Apple store and compared the two options, glossy did not cause that many issues even with the lighting in the store. Also, I like how much more vibrant the colors appear on the glossy than matte.
