It’s worth mentioning that MacBook glossy displays are noticeably better than many (not all, presumably) glossy displays out there, probably because of a decent anti-reflective coating. Some of them on the market look about as reflective as a pane of glass placed over the panel even when on, while in contrast I rarely if ever notice any reflections on my MBP and still have the advantages in image quality.

I far prefer this anti-reflective glossy setup to my previous ThinkPad which of course had a matte display.

Really? I see my own reflection even in indirect sunlight and it's causing significant eye strain.

It might also depend on the model. The one in question is a 2021 14” MBP with the Mini LED display, and the only other MBP I owned had a matte display.

Yeah the Apple displays are almost like a black hole. I stuck a glass protector over my ipad and noticed the screen became massively more reflective.
