The type of screen that you land on all depends upon what you intend to use it for. The glossy screens are typically a little bit more sturdy, but that sturdiness comes at a cost. You are likely going to be using this device outside, and it is almost impossible to read a glossy screen on a bright and sunny day. The matte designs are a little less durable, but they are a lot easier to read on bright and sunny days because you don’t have to contend with glare and reflections.
