I am currently in the market for a new laptop, and I have decided to buy a 15.4'' Macbook Pro. I was just at the store looking at all of the LCD's of Apple's various product offerings and noticed some bad color shifts (white to yellow) when viewing off angle on the Macbook Pros (matte), Macbooks, and 17'' iMac. The 17'' iMac is ridiculously bad... especially sitting next to the 20'' which has beautiful colors at any angle. The MacBook Pro is not nearly as bad, but it is worse than the glossy Macbook screen.

Can anyone who has a glossy Macbook Pro comment on the color shift in comparison to the matte screen... similar to the Macbook??

I know it is sort of a nitpick given how nice the colors are viewed head on, but it bothers me enough to question my potential $2,000+ purchase.

Thanks!
