Glossy with anti-reflective coating is in my experience just a poor after-market matte filter.

As someone who wears glasses, I can attest that wear-resistant AR coatings are a mature technology. They can be applied to plastic and to glass. I suspect the only problem is that they’re not particularly cheap, and an extra $30 BOM cost is a big deal.

All recent MBPs have this, and these are known for their fantastic screens. Nothing Windows (nor Linux) comes close to it. But of course, you are entitled to your informed opinion. Please share with us, which specific laptop screens you prefer.

MBP is on 7th place or so?

I mean it is great and all top places are pretty similar, but "nothing comes close" is just completely wrong.

Yeah, MBPs have always had a terrific reputation. Even when they were using TN panels...

Utter garbage in my opinion.
