    Which Screen is Better - MacBook (glossy) or MacBook Pro (matte or glossy)?

    Which has the best viewing angles?

    Which produces the sharpest, clearest text?

    Which is brightest?

    etc....


    Thanks! :)

    The Macbook pro has a higher resolution and is brighter.

    The other advantage to the MBP screen is the LED backlight. That helps with energy consumption and makes for a brighter screen.
