FWIW, my ~18-month-old Gazelle Pro (the System76 Driver applet says it's
a model gazp9b) came with a glossy display - the optional matte finish
display wasn't worth the expense, as 90 % of my use has it plugged into
an external monitor. It's very crisp and bright, no edge blur or dead
pixels. The current model looks like the same case and ports as mine.
