I'm an unashamed matte apologist. Matte is better in all situations. Enjoy your smudges, glossies.

Matte wall paint is optimal, but door and window trim looks better in at least semi-gloss. Gloss pictures are always sticky and look cheap. Matte paint jobs on cars look great, but only if it's gray and already a badass car.

"semi gloss" is just a fancy term for "half matte"

Dildos: matte is a sign of quality. I would not stick a glossy dildo in my posterior, because who knows what sorts of goofy gunk cause that gloss!

gloss is tacky and awful, matte is pretty and soothing if you need something shiny to get you excited then take a moment to consider that those sparkling lights are just a reflection

The fact that all laptops pretty much only come with glossy screens these days saddens me. I think Lenovo is the only one left still giving you the option to get matte. Every glossy electronic device I have looks like poo poo. I have the original fat PS3 and it looks like I threw it off a cliff but in reality I just moved it around a few times. If you gently rub that thing on a carpet once for 10 seconds it permanently destroys how it looks. The New 3DS XL is slippery poo poo and I hate it, the old one was matte and was fine. It also still looks brand new and the glossy one has scratches already with minimal use. I have a portable Western Digital hard drive that is glossy for some reason and it looks like it has been through war. My matte one looks brand new. Same usage between the two. As for pictures, I hate glossy. Permanent fingerprints and poo poo always sticks to it (especially dust or some other debris). Matte always looks better in virtually every instance. For some reason when we order photos from our local pharmacy, glossy is available right away but matte has to be mailed away and be waited for. I also noticed when we order photos, the matte ones simply look more professional and less like it just came out of a printer (even though they both came from the same place). The only situation where gloss is acceptable is a grand piano. Remember when they had to figure out some incredible coating technology to get plasma TV screens to not be glossy....bur now TVs are intentionally glossy as a feature?

Gloss is gross. Matte for everything forever. Except maybe cars, glossy metallic paint is cool and good.

Gloss is good for when you're painting your kitchen and plan on getting food all over the walls. Makes for easy cleanup.

Mange Mite posted:Im convinced the glossy thing is just a plot to force people to buy new poo poo all the time It's the only thing I can come up with. Either that or to make cheap garbage look more expensive. I don't know how people use laptops that are like a mirror when you are using them [insert joke about my ugly mug here]. But the "color reproduction"  . Yeah I am sure that $300 Asus laptop monitor is all about color reproduction for professional use. Pros use OLED or probably even CRT still for that type of stuff.

you can't spell gloss without "loss," which is what happens to the value of things that are glossy

Gloss does have it's uses. When painting kitchens, you should use a glossier paint, because the gloss makes it easier to clean. Any food splatters in your kitchen on matte paint will be nearly impossible to scrub off. Twice, I have had people paint the kitchen cabinets in my apartment with a white matte paint and they always get really gross and stained.
