Is this monitor glossy or matte?

It is kind of matte finish. Obviously there is some reflection against sunlight.... but under shade (indoors) this is almost like matte finish.

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town. The screen looks kinda like a matte surface. It is not what I consider to be a glossy. I have had this screen for about a year and it works just fine. Thanks!

I'm not sure I fully understand the distinction, but I would say there is nothing glossy about it. I see very little glare. The display seems more subdued or muted.

Glossy - great monitor but will reflect so you have to consider where you place it

Matte, be careful when you order as I needed the glossy one as well and I ordered the wrong one. It still works it is just not as clear as the old screen, but its a back up laptop so it doesn't matter to me.

It is an excellent display screen. Perfect for viewing graphics. It is anti-glare. Don't know what you mean by glossy??

The screen it's self is matte and won't be too reflective, and the bezels are glossy. Very good monitor. Very happy with it.

It is not matte, it is glossy. But it is not appear to be as glossy as some other flat panels. But it is glossy.

The screen is a matte (non-glossy) finish. It is very adjustable (can be tall or short, lean forward or backward). It has a small (square) USB connection to the computer only (one option for connecting your screen to your computer). Other inputs are D-sub, DVI, and DP. Personal note: I am visually impaired and this is a very good screen for seeing details in work I am doing with Photoshop and video editing.

glossy frame but matte screen. Took old one out, plugged this one in and turned it on light changed to blue (button under lower right corner of the screen) and it works fine straight out of the box.

Its glossy...Its like a plasma screen.... You gte some reflection from a lamp or light behind you but to me its worth it for the picture you get from this tv along with all the other features....

Matte, and no reflection issues. A very nice monitor for my purposes (professional writer)

It has a "matte" finish meaning it greatly reduces glare, there is still glare but it's not as bad as "glossy" (aka shiny) monitors. In fact, It has almost no glare even with direct sunlight.

It isn't a matte finish. I wouldn't call it a glass finish either. It is just like my TV which is a 32" Vivio. What I like about it is that it doesn't gradually get darker a darker picture as it gets older like most monitors do.

This is actually a gloss Monitor with an antiglare finish. So it's kind of right in between. The truer colors that a glossy screen can provide and not as much reflection from ambient light. However on bright screens it does have a somewhat odd pattern that is visible because of this.

Technically glossy, but there is a coating that acts as if it were somewhat matte. Side angle is acceptable IMO. Have yet to use it in a really bright room, however I'm sure there are varying definitions of a bright room, but I wouldn't think for a netbook of this size you'd be disappointed.

It is glossy. I think the brighter the picture needs a glossy screen, it reflected so bad though I returned it. However, I bought a Samsung and its gloss screen is just about as bad, even though both have great pictures.
