Guess that depends on whether you get the Samsung panel or the LG panel.

As for developers, where are are the matte displays?

The Thinkpad T440s I just got is great, 14" 1080p IPS matte display, though on the forums there is apparently some talk of there being two different panels where one of them is significantly worse than the other. As a first time Thinkpad buyer, I'm completely in love with this machine. It only took two days for me to become unable to use other laptops because I kept trying to find the trackpoint, lol.

The Thinkpads are awesome, except now you can't take them into any important State Department buildings. Lucky for me, that's not a concern.

What's a better screen for reading?

One with reflections on it, or one without?

This is no laughing matter for programmers who stare at a screen for hours.

I agree, although I’ve noticed that the Retina screen is coated with something that makes it far less reflective than the older glossy screens.
