But they directly reflect - i.e. the light bounces off at an angle equal
to the angle of incidence, which means that unless the light is coming
straight through the back of your head, it will bounce off at some angle
that you will not see. With a non-glossy panel, however, the reflected
light will be more diffuse and some of it will reach your eyes.
