Is the screen glossy or a matte finish?

I would describe it as satin, but definitely not matte. No where near as glossy as plasma screens. There are some reflections during day light hours, depending on number of windows, etc. In the evening, in a normally lit room, it blows you away with it's brightness, color, contrast and high definition - an excellent choice.

Definitely not glossy. The picture is fantastic and adjusts to varying light in the room.

I would say that it is more matted than glossy because the reflection is somewhat diffused. (Try Samsung)

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".

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.

Why are you touching the bevel? I think the screen is matte. I kinda wish it was glossy.

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!! :)

Its not Glossy. But, it has a very bright display! My only downside is with the touch pad - takes some getting use to. It's not like previous Laptops. Overall a very good machine!!!!

i guess glossy, i mean if your talking about contrast or something, its an HD screen, if your talking about the plastic its matte, almost a kevlar feel, looks cool

The screen is matte. This is not a plasma, so you don't get the glare/reflections on this TV that you would a plasma. I purchased two of these to be used as computer monitors and have been very happy with them.

Hi, it is shiny (glossy). I do prefer flat (matte) myself so that you don't get that glare. But, it is not super glossy on some laptops. This laptop is ok.

It has a matte display. There's some reflection, but not much. I've had the laptop for a few weeks and really like it. The only thing about it I don't like is the trackpad - it's just not very responsive. But I use a full keyboard and mouse 90% of the time anyway.

Glossy. It is a very nice picture. I don't get any glare - it is set up on a corner desk away from the window. I really do like this monitor.

It is glossy but no too much. It is plastic and very light. I wonder how long it will last..Planed obsolescence!

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.

It's glossy. Just like the apple 27" cinema displays. I have 3 of them in my photography studio. They are awesome and a great value!

It is a glossy finish. I'm not sure what the resolution is, but it's comparable to the original screen in the dv7.

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.
