I have a glossy WUXGA, because there are (apparently) no matte WUXGA displays available.

I am a little puzzled what the point of the glossy display is. It’s not awful, but it doesn’t really make a lot of sense to me. Maybe it’s more durable?

Matte displays dampen the image generated by the computer. The point of having a glossy (actually "non-matte") display is to get a clearer picture.

As for the gloss, well, TVs have been glossy for seven decades and no one's complained.
