I’m at 65” and less than 2m away, and I absolutely can tell when text is not rendered at native resolution, which is why I’m also confident I’d be able to notice the matte coating too.

(I am also probably like three standard deviations _more annoyed_ by the blurriness than an average person, I’m more than willing to believe that an average person wouldn’t be able to tell, or at least wouldn’t be bothered by it anywhere close to the degree that I am.)

Well yeah, at that distance you are supposed to notice the difference in resolution, and presumably the difference between matte and glossy. Most living room situations aren't like that though.

Btw, that page in general is great if you want to optimize your viewing experience: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-r... :)

I'm also someone who cares enough about fidelity to do 10-point tuning on my displays and speakers, so I get your frustration!

Are you sure you're just not comparing crappy screens (what you experience as "matte") with better ones ?

[klausa]

Yes, unless you wanna go down the line of "well actually Apple screens are not that good".

This is a semi-sponsored video from a scammy company that makes glossy displays, so you might want to take it with a grain of salt, but it talks about a real effect with (most, again, Apple's etching is _much_ better, but still _noticeable to me_) matte coatings: https://youtu.be/3mTV1TOblbA?t=124

There are people taking super-zoomed-in photos of their monitors all over reddit too, so you can judge how much haze/blurriness they add to the image:

Good lord, <2m from a 65" screen? You'll get square eyes!
