Apple has ditched matte laptop displays: Display replacement options?

I was thinking about buying a MacBook Pro for coding while not at home, but suddenly realized that they all come with glossy displays. The glare/mirror effect is utterly unacceptable for me. Are there good and easy ways to fix this?

By good I mean:

  • No voiding of warranty
  • No other nasty visual side-effects (apart from slightly reducing overall brightness, which is OK)
  • No noticeable additional weight

By easy I mean, either somebody else would install it, or it may be installed by a very silly guy like me with near-zero probability of breaking anything. :)


Solution 1:

Apple sells an Anti-glare filter on the online Apple Store.

An alternative is the Moshi iVisor which you can find on Amazon.
