Do you prefer matte or glossy laptop screens?

For JavaScript/TypeScript and frontend projects, I swear by **glossy screens**. The color accuracy and better visibility of details—especially with UI elements, CSS animations, or code themes like Dark Mode—make all the difference. In brightly lit rooms, the matte version often suffers from "milky" contrasts, while glossy screens define pixels sharply. However, for **long screen sessions** like reading documentation or Markdown, I often use a **matte anti-glare filter** (like tempered glass) to reduce eye strain. For developers: A good compromise is a **QHD+/OLED screen with a glossy finish**, but viewing angles of 45°+ to normal light automatically reduce reflections. My setup: M2 MacBook Air with True Tone + external Dell U2723QE (matte, but high PPI).
