> Even when reflections show up on glass displays, it's easy to see past them because they're full optical reflections with correct depth in stereo vision, meaning that you can correctly focus on the screen without focusing on the reflection.

That does not work for a laptop - the glass surface is too close to the pixels for the "focus past the glass" to make a difference.

The light which is not "at high angles" reflects into your eyes from the surface you are focusing on (+/- 0.5 mm).

You have misunderstood. You are focusing past the reflection, which will appear to be many meters "past" the glass.


You're right, that makes sense.

But still glossy displays seem to have plenty to reflect right into your eyes.
