Setting up for triple monitor. Using it for estimating-takeoff. Is the screen easy on the eyes, maybe a matte finish. Thanks for any feedback.

As a graphics designer I found the colors all wrong and the resolution to be very hard on my eyes. I returned the monitor and now use an HP. 2 inches smaller but far better on the eyes.

It is very easy on the eyes, you can adjust settings within the monitor to make text "pop" more or be more diffused. These are 1080p monitors only, so if you need something that can go bigger say for graphic design or photo editing then this monitor will never be more than 1080p resolution. Newer video cards can go up to 4k resolution but these monitors can't do that. The finish is not matte but they have a coating that does reduce glare somewhat from light sources but if you have a lot of bright light directly behind you or off to the side you may need to reduce the setting on the light or move it preferably behind the monitors. I use these in a dual monitor setup for web design, video and photography editing and they work really well. Watching movies or internet video streams is nice and clear on these monitors as well. Color correctness is closer than non IPS monitors but you will see a difference between each monitor and getting settings "close enough" on each monitor will take patience if you want to match the monitors to each other. Compared to other monitors I have had it is easier on these but still takes effort. Reliability: I have never had one last more than 6 months, all monitors I have had started to go out or begin to go out within the first 3 months. Amazon is amazing with RMA's but I personally would not buy this specific model from this company ever again. Mileage may vary but I have had 6 of these one after the other go out on me. Price is good on these but there is a reason they are less expensive than competitors.

While I plan on setting up for triple I have yet to do so. It is easy on the eyes and is a matte finish.

Yes its good, plan on using hdmi only though. There may be better choices out there for the price now that this monitor is about 6-8 months old

The screen is matte. The advantage of having this monitor is that the color does not change by the angle of viewing. For me that was a big plus as I frequently get up from the table to view the screen from a distance. I also like the outstanding resolution. Hope that helps.

The screen is a matte finish, not nearly as glossy as a plasma or a high contrast LCD. Resolution is decent, but is definitely a matte finish, no gloss.

"Glossy as they get!" It is a very sharp and clear screen, nice. I have had mine for awhile now (AUG. 2011) without any problems. Bed & Bath stores use these throughout their stores for information displays, so they must last!

I would like to know this too. Is the screen excessively glossy? I know on some of the higher end ones they make the display very shiny which is incredibly annoying if you have even a dimly lit room. This set is priced in the middle range so I'm wondering how the gloss on the screen is. It's so hard to tell in the stores because they have the screens in a dark area and angled just so.

It s matte, I dont think you will find the glossy display outside of the 120hz 3d display. Note this did not come with any operating system or product key either.

It actually has an AHVA screen which is similar to IPS (very wide angles, no color shift at extreme angles). I use IPS screens exclusively on my desktops, but I don't feel this is any worse for normal usage (I don't use it for graphics work so I don't know how accurate the color is).

I love my monitor the screen is bright enough yet pleasant to the eyes. You do not feel any eye strain. This is possibley due to the LED lites

its a glossy screen just watch for dead pixels the one i got hat 3 in it luckily they were on the edge and got covered by the screen housing. Hope that helps

I would rate the viewing angle...or the ability to view the numbers clearly from multiple angles as good, but not great. This is not helped by the fact that the screen is bordered by a flange-like edge that leaves it recessed cutting off light. That said I have been happy with the unit.

I would classify the screen as "matte" since there is no reflection off of the screen itself; however, the image on the screen is pretty bright compared to my other monitor--I need to adjust this.

High-Resolution Gloss Screen, honestly you would not want a matte finish to interfere with the display quality of this monitor. Make sure that it is compatible before purchase though, made that mistake with my iMac until the new iOS update.

The matte display is fine. They are not glossy at all. A very good monitor for this price point.

Yes it seems like a good quality screen. I have it outside in the woods by our cabin. I do not have the stand, but I attach the four corners to trees with hooks. I take it down when we are done using it. We are happy with it.

Yeah, it's great. It's not 4k or 120Hz or something, but I have three of these doing eyefinity, and everything looks beautiful. 10/10 would recommend for gamers

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.

I can only speak for myself, but I really don't care for the glossy screens. I have one on my Dell laptop and it looks great in perfectly controlled lighting; However, it is very reflective and I find myself adjusting the screen angle more than I would like. I am also looking at this monitor, which looks like a good deal, but I think I'll go with a matte screen.
