Ask HN: How do you like the Framework matte screen?

It's about time for me to upgrade my laptop, and I'm leaning towards Framework, but I hate matte screens. I love my Dell XPS 4k glossy Oled: crisp, clear, accurate colors, and most importantly, no huge blob of diffused light across half of the screen when I'm outside.

For those of you who switched to Framework from a glossy screen, how is your experience with it?

I have a framework 16 that I picked up recently. Honestly, the screen is OK but it's not a very high-end display. One of the biggest advantages to this laptop is its hack-ability. With a little work I think would be feasible to swap that display for something you prefer more. The changeable bezels are nice though :)
