Standard matte displays use a light diffusing coating, which basically looks like someone smeared Vaseline across the screen. I don't know if you've ever seen or used a standard matte display, but it basically ruins the clarity of a 5K display. How can a display be so incredibly clear while also being matte? In Apple's special lighting, showing off the beautiful new display, the nano-texture glass was an enigma. I first experienced nano-texture glass when Apple announced the XDR Pro Display at WWDC in 2019. If like me, however, you work in a backlit room or otherwise have always wanted Apple to make a matte display for its iMac, let me explain the gloriousness of nano-texture. If you've never cared for or felt the need for a matte screen, you might think the $500 price tag is pretty high. There are going to be a lot of people that don't see what the big deal is. Let me explain the gloriousness of nano-texture.
