I really like the nano texture display. But I occasionally like to dabble with my camera, sometimes pushing things around in editing apps and after seeing how an unedited photo rendered on a coworkers macbook with the nano texture, I sadly went for the gloss on my own purchase. It's not a huge difference and probably not even a dealbreaker to most, but it's already hard enough to find a best fit for varied color spaces out there who I share photos with and I didn't want to add another variable to the equation. When you're trying to deal with shadows it does get annoying when you're nerfed even just a little bit trying to determine how much detail is in the shadows.

It's admittedly a very obvious tradeoff, but part of me was hoping some new magic existed with the nano texture since everyone was ranting and raving about it on its release. Figured maybe just maybe it could've given me the best of both worlds. Nope. As it turns out people who make "review videos" often times don't know what the hell they're talking about. I've learned to tune those out and just source my purchasing info from people who do things im also interested in doing. In practical application it was an easy decision to make. For my use case glossy display just made more sense, I dork with photos/videos many times a year whereas I sit outside in the sun with my laptop maybe once a year if I'm traveling. And even in those scenarios the glossy display is fine.
