I was at Best Buy today and asked about the matte screen. The B750 does not have a matte screen. That would be a great feature -- especially in a bright room.

I find glare a problem as well. As one poster says, "the reflection is not a bother at all", well, that makes me wonder is there is still some reflection. I have a matte screen now and love it - no glare even with direct light. I'd love to upgrade my TV to 1080p but can't seem to find screens that are matte any more. So frustrating when manufactures do stuff like this. They should at least make it an option.

i found this on the samsung web site:Q: semi matte or hi gloss?i see that this spec says this does not have an ultra clear panel like the b650. does that mean it has a semi matte finish like the ol' a630?A:Although the specs on our site do not show the B750 with Ultra Clear Panel, this model does in fact have UCP.

The B750 has the Ultra Clear Panel, which greatly reduces reflection. We have a window directly facing the TV, and with the shade drawn the reflection is not a bother at all.

I would like to know about this also. I have read in some reviews it has a different screen than the 650, less glossy?

No. Popular new model ASUS N550JV-DB72T is what you should consider.Since I don't want a hint of glare/reflection I prefer this non-touchscreen model.

I went with the 4661F mainly because of the non-glare screen. I looked at them both, side-by-side in the store at Best Buy in full daylight and the 4665 was just too reflective and distractive, like looking into a mirror. So what if it has a better contrast ratio. It's really negligible unless you are a videophile geek with superhuman bionic vision who can really distinguish between contrast blacks. And for the money, the 4661F is the better deal. Easiest choice I have ever made buying a television and couldn't be happier.

If you are concerned about the reflective screen, get the A630, which has a matte screen.

The ln46a540 has a more reflective screen. It makes the colors and contrast look great (especially from side viewing angles). However the screen shows reflections from light sources more. I decided to get the 550 because our media room has lots of windows.

Please note both of N110 and N120 are glossy screen. You should go with NC10 if you prefer matte screen without any reflections.

The new Samsung n130 and n140 netbooks both have matte screens. Also, the newer Asus 1005HA-MU17 and 1008HA-MU17 have matte screens.

Just recieved ours a week ago and it has a matte screen. I totally forgot that it never asked for my preference when I was ordering! So I think you are right, Amazon doesn't offer the glossy.I personally like the matte better, less annoying reflection, though I've heard the glossy screens have better color, personal preference.

I agree with I.Peter, I took a look at the B630 at my local Electronics Expo which was opposite a front window and I really didn't notice an issue with glare. My local best buy didn't have a B640 and with no windows and very high lights I'm not sure I would have noticed the glare.I did notice that Expo was lower on price and when I ready I'll see what they can do.

My understanding - which is why I just bought the 820 - is that the 820 features a matte screen, while the older 810 has a glossy screen. That glossy screen was a common complaint among reviewers. FWIW, the 820 display is beautiful. Either way, they're Sonys, so you won't be too disappointed - but I'd seriously consider the 820 for the screen alone. They say it's a lot easier to view in glary/sunlight conditions.

the b640 has most of the specs of the b630, but with the glossy finish of the b650. I am a fan of the 120hz and you notices the different with your blu-ray player or PS3 and the dead HD-DVD. It makes things pop-out a little and look a little unatural, but is like 3D on some movies. When you turn it way too high you get the halo effect and some blocking on fast scenes. Most people will buy a blu-ray player sooner or later so I say just go with the 120hz for the future. If you turn it off it is just like watching the b550. Most antenna broadcast will not pop out as much, since the source is not as good.

The 4665 model has a shiney screen and a higher contrast ratio (15000:1). The 4661 has a matte screen and lower contrast ratio (10,000:1). Also the 4665 model is newer.

Glossy. Looks nice and sharp!, I love this display. I don't have reflection issues in my room with lights on ( desk lamp and ceiling light) but not tried outside or under bright florescent lights (if need to I can check in basement where we have many florescent tubes). Next to my awesome 22" matte 1080p Samsung led LCD TV I just got (from amazon) the ASUS display is crisper. And the TV has a great display but the glossy IPS display in this ASUS rocks! *edit: I did try it in brighter light and I can see reflection if certain colors. Like if I put the entire screen blue when it was restarting and doing updates, I can see myself with bright lights on. Right not typing this under lights and the screen is white allot, I do not see any reflection.

Chuck - As far as I am concerned, the screen has a glossy finish. There is a very fine coating that I think LG may consider to be matte, but reflections are quite noticeable to me. So, I say glossy. As far as 'how many hertz' it has, it runs as a 60Hz display natively. Period. Anyone who reports differently is just missing the boat. The monitor reports its capabilities to Windows, and the specs are available to anyone who knows how to read. If it were an active 3D screen, it would have to run at 120Hz or higher, but passive 3D is fine at 60Hz. I've got absolutely no complaints to express about how it performs in either 3D or 2D with fast motion at all. As a final note, if you can work with a glossy screen, then I think this should be a great 2D and 3D monitor for you. That is, if 23 inches is big enough... &lt;WG&gt;

I had Asus and now I have S10 (love it so far), they are both anti-glare type of screen, meaning non-glossy. I know a coworker who bought the HP mini, which DOES have glassy screen and glares like crazy.

My wife's new Macbook (not Pro) has a glossy screen (no choice) and she really hates it. She wishes she could get it with the matte screen (like her old iBook or my Powerbook). The reflections are annoying, and it shows every little fingerprint or smudge...it's also difficult to clean.Go with the matte, it's a better option.-Zach

i own one and the screen is matte. i also take photos for architectural/real estate. best if you have monitor calibration tools, otherwise default color settings not that good for editing/processing. i also use my nikon tethered straight to laptop and works well. has built in sd card reader too. only downside is battery life. high performance settings will get you about 1.5hrs work time. power brick is literally a brick so not that portable. overall, very good and reliable machine. i won't replace this for a few years more even with the updated ROG models already out.
