does the matte version have the rainbow effect or make the screen look grainy?

No, it does not. The screen protector is smooth and transparent. It doesnt affect the picture on the screen.

Not overly glossy at all, my main screen faces my ceiling fan directly and i have no glare issues from it on the screen itself, whereas i can see each bulb on the fan on the much more glossy bezel. I have no glare issues at all with it.

Its better than the screen itself, but not quite as good as the smudge proof version. The tradeoff is that with the HD version you get awesome screen clarity

The screen is not matte. My old Samsung was matte, but this one shows the glare of a light behind me in the screen.

The matte version does make the screen darker, but also give it a nasty sparkly look, totally unacceptable. However, the Cristal clear version is excellent, no issues.

The screen is matte. Mine sits next to a bright window, I've never noticed any glare or reflection. It's like a bottomless pit for any light it didn't emit.

Matte. The screen has become less sensitive and is not as clear. Thinking about buying a different kind of product.

Glare is absolutely a NON issue.. screen is all matte and very effective. Having said that I am returning this product for reasons of other defects - ripples on the display starting from the bottom going all the way to the top. Very irritating!

It's a personal pref. Clear will have more glare and will smudge easier, but you can't tell anything is covering the screen (when it's clean). I personally have clear because I wanted the "minimalist" look.

It's semi-matte. The whole point is to be anti-glare, and a glossy shine would be counterproductive. That said, it's not perfect. With the film on the screen, there's significantly less glare/shine than without, but there's still some glare/shine. I wish it had been a perfect solution, but I'm decently happy with the result. For me, it was worth the money.

Hi, The screen has a matte finish, I'm very happy with the monitor, clear image and sharp in Stereo.My only complaint would be that there is some bleed through around the edges of the screen, only visible when the screen is almost black.Under normal conditions you can't see it at all, but in some very dark game screen it show a little.I really love the 3D, I thought that I'd probably get tired of it after the novelty wore off, but I play all my games with it 90% of the time.

It is matte and such a great, bright screen without any glare. I love it. M R

I don't have any problems with glare, it is not a glossy screen, it is more of the soft matte finish.

I've owned two of these computers for approximately six weeks. As far as I can tell the screen is not matte. I might add, I am very much pleased with the computer's performance - especially the extremely quick startup.

If you look really closely at the screen when it's off and dark you can see a grid but only barely and I never notice it. When the screen is on it looks as good as the original. I don't know if that what you mean but I'm more than happy with mine!

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

I use a microfiber cloth to remove smudges easily no problems. Images on LCD are crisp, non-distorted, no rainbow effects off the glass screen protector and it's holding up well so far. I'm happy I got it for my Sony camera.
