Aaaaaallan DeutschI have one, I don’t use it much. I’d say not worth if you don’t struggle with flare and don’t want a privacy screen.
ChristianYes and yes. Have it on a MacBook Pro and studio display. i never want to look at a glossy display again

zeuworth, don’t have to worry about wear/smudges ever, easier on the eyes (imo)
just peeled after one year and replaced it, should be good for 2025 bsky.app/profile/zeu....

durbonix.bsky.socialI have it, and it is so much nicer than my previous MacBook screen. Even if you are not outside, the older MacBook picks up a little glare from ambient light. The nano texture is just consistent view and color.

Christopher EhrlichI got nanotexture on my new laptop, and it’s so good that I’m tempted to replace my studio display that doesn’t have it
1 3Christopher EhrlichI thought I wasn’t struggling with glare. Turns out I was just cranking the brightness all the time to notice it less.
1 3Christopher EhrlichGo to the Apple Store, put nanotexture and regular side by side. Open a codesandbox or whatever. Either you’re sold after 10 seconds, or you’re not.

Nimo 🏳️🌈I haven't seen it but typically matte screens are less sharp than glossy screens. I'd only get it if I had to work in direct sunlight a lot of the time.

Paul Chin • 陈保罗Last and only time I had a matte MacBook screen was when Apple offered it on the 2011 MacBook Pros, and I was in art school.
It was excellent for mitigating glare, and colour accuracy when designing for print (which I was working in at the time). But since then, I have never wanted it again.
1 2Paul Chin • 陈保罗I do, however, have a matte screen protector in my iPad, bc it helps with reading, and makes drawing with the Apple Pencil feel a teeny bit more natural.
WillIs this the nano texture option or a particular screen protector? If the latter, which one as I’m interested 👀

ǝuuɐſshook to see pro-glossy screen discourse up in here.
to each their own etc, but stay away from me
Mark PauleyMy partner just got an M4 MBP with the matte screen and she loves it
Charanjit Chana 👋I was in two minds and opted not to go for it and don’t regret my decision who doesn’t work outdoors with my laptop. Blacks didn’t look black at all to me in a well lit store.
Charanjit Chana 👋@cchana.dev· 27 Dec 2024Saw the nano texture MacBook Pros today in person. My thoughts:
Somehow looks better than the iMac displays. Application is less obvious.
Definitely defuses light better but works both ways which makes blacks look flat.
Plenty of brightness but HDR not as punchy as the regular display.
