That blog post is comparing a glossy LED to a matte non-LED display. Big difference, and one I know about first hand because I own MacBook Pros with both types of display, only my LED is matte.

Personally, it's incredibly rare for me to be using a laptop outside on a sunny day, so even if glossy were better in sunlight, I'd never base my decision on that fact. But I can tell you that I did get to compare a matte and glossy MBP of the exact same model in an Apple store, side by side, and saw no significant difference in brigntness.
