  • Dull displays

The colors on matte displays are typically dull. This is due to the matte finish. The contrast in matte displays somehow poor and this is the same with color vibrancy. Due to the dull nature of the matte display, the video quality and image quality will not be the best.

The matte finish scatters light from the screen to avoid reflection of light. B doing this, the reflections are automatically eliminated. Besides, the scattering of light also means that the display gives off he light and this affects the image quality in negative ways. Imagine the lights being scattered and running into each other. That would only result into bad quality display. It would have been better if the lights were moving in their respective lanes.

  • Matte touchscreens are very rare

Another disadvantage of matte displays is that matte touchscreens are not easy to find. This is because they are not in high demand. The main reason matte screens are not popularly used in touch screen laptops is that matte screens are not very smooth. And for a touch screen to be effective and efficient, it needs to be very smooth because that is what makes swiping easy. This is why glossy touch screens are popular as they are smoother, making swiping a very easy thing. Compared to glass displays or glossy displays, matte displays respond to touch poorly. While there are laptop computers with matte touchscreens, they are not easy to find because there is not enough demand for them. Therefore, laptop manufacturers don’t produce them in large numbers as they do produce laptops with glossy touchscreens.

  • Not easy to sell when disposing
