This model laptop appears to have come with both glossy and matte screen options listed for this part # so I need to know if this is glossy or matte?

My experience in ordering them and repairing them is that they are glossy unless they specify that they are matte. Matte finish ones were an option. I would say this one is also glossy.

Screen is not glossy, however, it looks really good. I had to turn off screen to verify what type of finish it had since the video is so clear. Just to be clear, glossy to me is it looks like glass, good shine, this screen when off looks like matte in my opinion.

To correct the previous answers...the screen ITSELF is a matte display...however with the touchscreen overlay it will still appear as glossy. So it depends on how you look at it. Figuratively speaking.

It is matte. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the description to suggest which it is... that is why I mentioned that it is a matte screen in my review. Hope this helps.

I have had both the glossy and the matte screens. As long as you don't have light directed towards the glossy screen then I think that you should enjoy it. Many people are overstating the negatives of this monitor.

I own the N120, and the screen is beautiful. I have avoided glossy screens before, but this one is unquestionably the best screen I have had in all of my 6 laptops so far. Also, the N120 has a full size keyboard. I love the machine.

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

Are you sure? I thought Amazon only sold the matte screen version even for the previous model. I don't expect they will ever offer the new model with a glossy screen here.

Mine appears to be more of a glossy screen. I love it! The only bad thing is there is no DVD/CD drive, so keep that in mind.

I would say matte, but there are supposedly different versions of the screen. My two are matte.

It is a little glossy but the screen is easy to see and read. I haven't had it outside in daylight so not sure what it is like there. I like it better than the screen the compaq came with , which was broken due to carelessness.I am happy with it,,, it is quite bright.very distinct images.

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.

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.

I do find your question interesting. When I ordered I did not get a choice. The one I ordered came in Matte finish for the screen. Monitors I know of are Matte. I do Have a Dell Laptop that has a glossy screen and I find I prefer a Matte finish . You get less glare from surrounding lighting.

It's a matte finish. But as good as the display is, that's not the best thing about this laptop. The sound is fantastic!
