So, oddly, most computer monitors come with matte screens. Is there any particular reason for the choice of matte screens on computer monitors vs. glossy screens on TVs?
Actually, I'm not sure that's accurate. It's been several years since I bought a monitor but the last time I did, it seems like the vast majority were shiny screens and I had to look pretty hard to find a matte one.
Frankly, I would be happy to give up some HD perfection to avoid reflections.

I bought a new desktop monitor last year and it was matte. In fact, most gaming monitors feature a matte finish. In the past, glossy screens used to be considered a luxury, but now for computing, it seems that matte screens are now considered a high-end feature.

The front of most TV's today is glass. This is why they are reflective.
Many computer monitors are actually made of plastic, not glass.
This is the simple reason why monitors aren't as reflective. Not because they come in a matte finish.
Selling 'matte screens' isn't much of a thing today because LED technology has come so far that a good LED, even a very highly reflective one, won't be nearly as reflective when the TV is on. I think it was actually Apple themselves that came out with the first "glossy" computer screen. It was glass.
Why would TVs be made with glass and monitors with plastic?
