glossy or matte LED

Drip

I am in the process of buying a Macbook Pro. Can some one tell me which LED gives a better image on photography, an glossy or matted finish on the LED? Thanks

No question, the matte is the only way to go.

The glossy screen looks great for movies but for post processing photos, it gives you false results. Calibration of the glossy screen does not work very well and the glare from the glossy screen is annoying.

I agree 100%. We have 2 MBPs one with glossy and one with matte. My wife and I both like the Matte screen better in almost every situation.

I suppose that means you get to use the glossy??
