It's not like my plasma's glassy screen, but it is quite reflective. Disappointing for me.

It's nice and shiny like a black mirror. It also rejects any dust particles like other modern screens.

No, the screen is gloss finish and does show reflection. It's not as bad as another Samsung gloss screen I have for some reason, but it's not non-glare. That's my only dislike of this TV, and I bought two of them at Christmas.

Just recieved ours a week ago and it has a matte screen. I totally forgot that it never asked for my preference when I was ordering! So I think you are right, Amazon doesn't offer the glossy. I personally like the matte better, less annoying reflection, though I've heard the glossy screens have better color, personal preference.

Looks matte to me although I have seen screens which have even more of a matte finish. It is certainly not glossy like a Mac screen.

The tv has a high gloss to it. So you will get reflection. Even on a matte screen, but glossy is worse. Now, if you block out some of that light - it's worth it. The TV will truly shine at night. The contrast and color saturation is awesome.

I don't quite understand what you're saying. When the tv is off I'ed say the screen is matte and the frame around the tv is glossy

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.

I was at Best Buy today and asked about the matte screen. The B750 does not have a matte screen. That would be a great feature -- especially in a bright room.

It's matte but not the hazy kind. We're still loving the TV. Great picture.

Thanks everyone--I really appreciate your answering! A matte screen is a must have for me and they are getting very hard to find! Can't understand the attraction to those shiny reflective screens! You all have been very helpful!

It is more of a matte screen, as it is LED/LCD. Most of the glossy screens are found on plasma TV's.

Just for the record, I have the Samsung A550 40 inch and it has a matt screen and not a shiny screen as mentioned above. I am very satisfied with it, but it could be that the Sony is just as good. Our older TV is a Samsung and that and the good reviews influenced us. So far, we are happy with it, great picture. I have the sound hooked up to my sound system and that is great also.

Sebastian, I take it by "glare" you are asking about bright reflections off the screen. If not, I apologize and you can quit reading. The screen is shiny glass, although I can tell its been tempered a little. I hate computer screens made of smooth glass, because of the reflections. That is probably the biggest complaint I have with this TV. Room lights will reflect off the screen. But all new TV's have shiny screens. What can you do. Many TV's have shiny bezels, which can be really annoying. This unit has a very thin matte bezel. No reflections. And bottom line, this is the best picture of any TV I've ever owned.

I took the plastic off of mine. It is a matte finish. It is not that shiney black. But looking at my regular TV it is the same. I love the picture and feel this was a really good monitor.

I know this is matte, but it was not answered here. The problem with matte finish is they make the text fuzzy or blurry which is the reason I hate matte. So can somebody please tell me how is the text on this monitor. My U2412M which my son uses mostly in games, gives me a headache when I uses it to read news, stock rating, reviews like this.

Mine has a matte screen. It is the first matte screen I have had, and I love it. No glare at all.

It is not glossy, but it is not matte either. From my experience so far, i would agree with Samsung's labeling of "low reflection."
