So... just how bad would the glossy screen be? Anyone out there use one?
i used one for a couple of years on a 13" MacBook Pro, but now i have a 15" MacBook Pro with a matte screen, in part because of the trouble i had with the glossy screen; when traveling i often found myself in bright environments and at also work the room had bright natural light and there was a white wall behind me; the wall, and any light colored shirt i wore, would cause glare; at work i had my laptop on an Ergotron arm, so it was easy to reposition, but it was still a hassle; for one thing i often had a another person sit next to me, so we had to control even more angles; i had a 23" matte display on another arm next to the laptop, so i often just ignored the laptop screen
i haven't used the 27" Thunderbolt monitor (nor its DVI predecessor), but it seems logical that it would require more lighting control than a 13" display, since it would reflect glare from more angles
that said, in my home office i would still consider a 27" Thunderbolt display because the lighting is very controlled, plus with my laptop it would be much more convenient to reduce to one cable the five cables i plug in when i put my computer on my desk; but i am very glad my laptop has a matte display
