This doesn't even count how glossy reflects light in your room and gets in your way.
You're in NY. Go to the Apple Store and look really hard at the MacBook screen. Move your head around to see all the different viewing angles and move the monitor hinge to see just how bad the colors warp when you move it. Then do the same with a Pro and watch the colors and brightness stay almost the same no matter where you're viewing it.
