Is nano-textured glass worth it?

It is not easy to answer such questions because It may depend greatly on each user’s perception and usage pattern.. Moreover, the situation is not the same with a device such as the iMac, which we will mostly use in the room and can be placed to prevent reflections, nor with the MacBook Pro, which we often use outside the home.

“Using a nano-textured glass screen is a bit odd: the reflections magically stay on the edge of the screen. It works incredibly well. And most of the time, in more normal lighting conditions, I didn’t really notice the nanotexture was there.” — Jason Snell of Six Colors.

Based on the opinions of industry experts who can work with Apple devices with nano-textured glass, I believe: It is an option worth considering.especially if you notice a lot of reflections on your device’s current screen.

“When I moved the iMac around my house to see how it held up to direct sunlight or bright artificial light overhead, it was very effective at combating glare and reflections. In every case, it did its job of keeping distractions at bay.” — CNET’s Matt Elliott.

Is it worth paying more for a nano-textured glass screen? If you’re going to be working a lot outside the home, it’s probably worth it.. Just like if you are going to use an iMac and you have a window in the background that is reflected on the screen due to the design of the room. In such cases, I think the extra use of nano-textured glass is worth it.
