What is "glossy ID"? Is it a glossy display or not?

It's not a traditional "matte" finish which tends to de-sharpen images. It IS non-reflective, though, I don't have any trouble with room reflections. It's the sharpest image I've seen from a non-glossy screen, if that helps. Only the iPad Air 2 has a better trade off between the inherently better sharpness of a glossy screen and the lower reflections you get with a "matte" or "coated" screen.

it is not glossy, i use it at work 11 hours a day and does not bother my eyes at all, i sit about 2 1/2 to 3 ft away.

The screen is flat black when it is off, therefore no reflection. I am not sure about a glossy ID term, but I believe you will be pleased with the flat no reflection screen.

H. Panda... when you turn off the display it is not glossy, so I would say no. I will say that there is little glare from light no matter what angle you are looking at the display. One of the reasons I liked this display for the great price.

When they mention glossy in the video they are talking about the stand and frame. I think that is what you are referring to. The screen itself is not a glass covered gloss type screen.

The screen is matte and not glossy at all. I have bright lights directly above my screen and sit about 2 feet away from it, and there's no glare on the screen. The frame is glossy, though; the only place I notice it is at the bottom, where it's a little more than 1" wide. The frame on the top and sides is very thin and the gloss isn't noticable there. Hope this helps!

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.

I've never thought of a monitor as matte or glossy but I'd say that it's certainly not glossy. Btw, I like this laptop very much but not thrilled with Windows 8, though I am getting used to it.

Hi, it has antiglare protection, not a glossy screen. This gives a great definition to the screen.

I'm not sure what you mean by "glossy", but we've been using it as a PC monitor for months, and it works just fine.

Screen is glossy. Does a great job with 3D. 120hz i believe. Have it paired with a Dell laptop- great way to go.

It's certainly not glossy but it does have sort of a frosted anti-glare coating which is most noticeable when you have a white background and text. If you are looking at a photo or video or a lot of color you don't see the coating but if all you were doing was typing documents all day it gives the white areas on the screen a very faint "textured effect" for lack of a better phrase. Having said all that, I personally don't mind it and I really like the monitor overall. In most cases if I find I'm noticing the coating at all, like while writing this, I just bump up the size of the type and everything is fine.

Mine is very glossy, and prone to picking up fingerprints. The glossiness makes it easy to clean, though. Just wipe it off!

The one I got was glossy. Looked better than the original. Unfortunately my computer got stolen and I ended up having to buy a entire new Toshiba. lol

It is more of a matte vs glossy. Background reflection is minimal. Is a good monitor.

Yes it is a glossy LED screen, identical to the screen that came with the laptop. I am 100% satisfied with it. Took me 15 min to install. No problem.

I believe it's glossy. I never got it to work (issue with ribbon cable). Decided to buy a new laptop, instead.

Hey Vanessa, it has a glossy finish. Honestly, I find that it shows more smudges and reflections. I have the HD, but would get the standard one if I were to do it again. Other than this, the product performs really well though.

brother or sister, the screen is matte, not glossy. i ordered this notebook a little while ago and it just arrived today, best decision [in regards to electronics] i have ever made, ever. i owned four windows notebooks before purchasing this one, and using this notebook [and mac os] actually simulates the feeling of "a breath of fresh air".
