I’m looking to buy the new 27” Apple Studio display. I have a question whether I should opt for the nano-texture matte finish or the standard glossy with anti-reflective coating.
My use case is editing and proofing images for printing. I don’t have particularly difficult lighting in my office.
I’ve heard some argue that with the high brightness of 600 nits for this display you don’t need the nano-texture because the brightness overpowers the reflections. That doesn’t help me though. I set my screen brightness rather low to combat the proverbial “why are my prints so dark” issue. I’m thinking that low brightness settings is a good argument for the nano-texture.
On the other hand the standard glossy is said to have sharper text and overall more attractive appearance. I guess if I was showing images on my monitor the glossy would have a more vivid “wow” factor. However, that’s not me.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I don’t care about the incremental cost, just looking for the best option that will keep me happy with my purchase in the long term.
