Somebody might have more information on that, but what I observe is that you run into two problems with those matte displays:

1. Touch is hard and expensive. 2. Contrast seems to be not as impressive.

Do you see any parallels to your own observations?

Not at all... I see most of the non-touch laptops having glossy screens, as well. Also, I have a Samsung 900x3c with a matte screen and it's contrast is very impressive. Not having reflections makes all the blacks really deep
