Just bought the Dell S2740L and it's basically a mirror! I am always looking at my ugly mug even when it's on. Is the P2714H glossy or matte?

I'd call it semi-gloss or satin. It's not completely matte, it reflects some, but not like a glossy screen does.

The Pavillion I got has a matte finish. I did not notice any 'reflectiveness' on the keys, which would imply a gloss finish. I have another HP laptop without a 10 key but this keyboard has 10 key and the locations feel quite different and it takes time to adjust to it.

It must be matt. Well, it looks matt! Definitely not high gloss.It's a really nice monitor.:)))

I believe glossy. When the computer is turned off the black screen reflects much like a mirror.

It all depends on what your needs are. I plan on doing coding, scripting, and photo editing on this machine, so a matte finish helps more than a glossy one b/c of less glare in staring at the screen and beter color accuracy. The glossy finish is really something that you should get if one is not affected by glare as much and if movie viewing is gonna be a major activity on the laptop.

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

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.

Mine was glossy too. I asked them before purchasing it because I didn't want to risk getting a matte finish and they said that glossy finish were the only ones they had left then. It wouldn't hurt to check with the seller now again though I guess. I really liked my screen and the packaging was really good! Good luck!! :)

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.

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.

Sorry for delay... Screen is satin. I have 4 of these. WONDERFUL. I also have 4 ACER UHD 28-in monitors. They are great, also. Bigger screen (Dell) vs less expensive, more pixels & great rotating stand (Acer)...sometimes the bigger screen wins.

Great question, I own two of them and they are matte. Works as well as you can expect in a Sunlit room. Works even better when used facing a darker seating area with light coming from rear of monitor - instead of on the screen itself. Screen lighting option lets you tune screen for best view.

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".

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.
