The five year old 17 inch iMac is failing. In those days, matte screen was the standard!

I will replace the iMac with the smallest one available. But in her office with open blinds the way she wants her office to be, she will be extremely unhappy And I will hear about it, and think she will say "I want a PC" Oh boy.

I have considered the Mac mini. That way I can choose the monitor. Her Mac is not for production.

This iMac is the only failure I have had with Macs. 1999 blue and white G3, 2009 G4 dual 533, and two others are operating just fine!!!

IF you can control reflections, the glossy screen will, in general, give you blacker blacks.

Hi Steve.

I have no idea about gamut.

However I personally cannot use the glossy screen. Way toooo much reflections. And I am in a dimly lit studio environment.

A year and a half ago, I paid or payed, whatever, the premium to get the 17in MacBook Pro with what they call the antiglare widescreen.

Really weird to me since dull, or none glossy screen used to be the norm. Must be a marketing scheme by Apple. Just my opinion.

I would like to read more opinions on the marketing, though not the purpose of the listserve.

I profiled two of my clients that each have glossy displays, No comment on that.

Cheers

David



I am in the market for a new macbook pro and was wondering which display has a bigger gamut and profiles more accurate for photography work.
Glossy Widescreen Display
Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display
Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display
Thank you for your prompt consideration and response
