No, matte screens having nothing to do with the underlying contrast.

The blacks are getting washed out from light in the room that is diffused by the matte finish. Not light coming from the pixels.

The final black contrast is limited by both the underlying pixel technology and the screen finish. You get true black only with both OLED and glossy.
