Ask HN: Glossy displays, form over function?

I'd like to share my pet peeve against glossy displays, because nowadays it is hard to find notebooks with matte displays.

I suppose people like (or don't mind) glossy displays, which I find intriguing. To me, their reflective properties are very distracting.

To reduce eye strain, I prefer to use dark backgrounds for my editor & cli, and this makes things worse.

The other day I was watching a World Cup match on a restaurant, and all the LCD TVs had glossy displays. They reflected the internal illumination in a way that made it hard to follow the match.

Perhaps my brain is wired in a strange way, but I think this a plague! What do you think?
