matte screen
Non-reflective monitor surface
A matte screen has a textured surface that diffuses light, reducing glare and reflections compared to glossy screens.
The tradeoff is slightly less vivid colors and contrast.
Matte screens are preferred in bright environments or offices where overhead lighting would create distracting reflections: I switched to a matte screen because the window glare was unbearable.
