Mac - Glozzy or matte

Hi Adobes

I just wanted to know your opinion on the glozzy vs. matte apple screens, what should you choose as a web designer?

I heard something about the glozzy screens showed colors the wrong way, and that would be a major problem for me, if im designing on a screen where the colors are different from what the visitors or customers are seeing!

I can live with the Mac colors beeing different from Windows, but would know what to do before i get a glozzy or matte screen!

I hope you guys will be able to help!

Most people don't like the glossy screens for accurate work although a few do like them.


Colours are colours and, if the screen is properly calibrated, it doesn't make any difference whether it's a Mac or a Windows computer.

Thanks! But how do i calibrate the screen properly?

The best way to calibrate the monitor is with a device like an Eye-one.


This is a UK supplier but they are available world-wide.

There are software solutions but these rely on the accuracy of your eyesight.

Nice, thanks a lot! But a 鎷?100 is a lot for my small business just to get the right colors Is there some screen sittings i can aply so i get closer to what i PC user would see, or is Native Digital the only way?
