How reflective is the screen?

Shawn, Not as reflective as my other flat screens. It is no where as near reflective as any tube TV and I can watch most programs with the balcony blinds wide open even though the screen is situated at an angle to the patio door there. Only the darkest scenes are hard to see and that isn't because of reflectivity, but because of the sheer volume of light emanating from the patio door itself. Right now I am looking at the screen with the TV off and it is 11:45 AM and though the blinds are closed, there are still streaks of light coming in between the blinds. Even so, I can't see myself reflected in the screen except as a very faint ghost-like figure and I am sitting about 12 feet away from the screen. With any of my other flat screens, I would be like looking in a mirror in comparison Now my flat screen BENQ computer screen has absolutely no reflection in it even sitting 2 feet in front of it but no large screen TV I have ever seen is that non-reflective . That BENQ screen has absolutely no reflection at all!. Their 55" large screen is an interactive touch screen monitor that costs about $3,600 a pop and is meant for classrooms and corporate presentations. not home entertainment. They also have a 65" that runs $6,859 a pop too. Ahh to be rich! I also agree with Rong that the picture is superior but the sound is sub-par. I am also looking for an add on sound enhancement. My main problem with the sound is that it varies so much by what station you are listening to. On one, a setting of 25 is plenty loud while on another you may have to crank it up to 65-70 but don't forget to lower it again before switching channels because you may blow your eardrums out! It runs much cooler than my previous Motorola set did. That one got so hot you could almost cook on it.

I do NOT feel it is reflective while watching the tv but it does reflect light source if you LOOK for it. The picture quality is amazing. The sound is however subpar. I am in the process getting a sound bar. But if you are going to have a sound system hooking to it it won't matter.

The screen is nice but not matte. It definitely picks up some glare but has never bothered me while using this laptop.

Not quite sure how to answer this question, but I'll try. The screen is not a dull matte, it is kind of a semi gloss, not a high-gloss white glass would be. Hope that helps.

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

There is minimum reflection on this tv screen. The Plasma sets we looked at were VERY reflective - almost mirror like. Iguess I would say this is none glare (or very little glare).

It does reflect. The brighter the screen the more you can see in bright light. It also helps to keep a cloth around to clean the screen.

The small black plastic border around the outside is definitely glossy and reflective, but the screen is not. I have 2 27" screens and the only slight reflection I get is on the top monitor because the ceiling light bounces directly off of it due to the height. My point is, unless you have a light aiming directly at the screen, there is no glare. Matte

Its a glass panel as far as I can tell which means it should reflect a lot but it doesn't. Thus I believe Samsung has worked out some anti glare anti reflection technology they've likely applied to the screen.

We treated the second floor windows, so I'm not sure, but from the outside it is only slightly reflective. Also, it has a dark tint when viewed from the outside. It is not highly reflective like a mirror would be.

The screen is glossy but I do not have a problem with shadows or reflection. It is a great Screen. I think it is wonderful!

I do see some reflection but not much. It is not enough to interfere with the picture even if I shine a bright flashlight directly on the screen. I can see the flashlight but it is pretty dim. It does have a matte screen.

This monitor has a dull screen and you should have no problems with glares from the windows. I use the monitor with windows behind me and I get no reflections.

Hey Gary, The screen is matted. I can't see any reflection with my desk lamp on. However, very strong direct sunlight will give you some reflection which should be expected.

It is not that reflective. I use it for portrait photography, and it is good.

Its kinda glossy but not realy bad. I get a glare on my screen when I have my lights on.

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.

The screen is glossy, however it's also ridiculously bright, so for most applications the lack of anti-glare is a non-issue. I haven't tested it outdoors, but I imagine that would be the one area you might have a problem.
