Is the brushed metal faceplate glossy or matte?

The finish is like a Satin paint finish -- a bit more glossy than flat paint, but not as shiny as glossy. It looks fairly unobtrusive on your shelf, and it's exactly the same as the finish on previous Denon receivers.

I would describe it as a horizontal brushed metallic black just like it looks in the photo. It is not glossy in the sense of polished, but has a metallic shine to it when hit by light at the right angle. It is closer to matte than glossy overall.

The one we received has the matte finish. It looks good and doesn't collect fingerprints.

The finish is matte.I tossed the item.It was tooooo thick for the functionality you are accustomed to with a naked screen.

Glossy. And the design is kind of distorted. Just and FYI. If your really into your bike and stuff get a more expensive one

Sorry for the late reply. I believe this one has the matte finish. Im using it and still working perfectly, won't have any fingerprints on buttons.

It is a glossy finish. Lutron makes screw less decora in matte finish but they do cost a bit more...hope this helps!

The finish is glossy. They scratch easily but are a great everyday set. The weight and feel is excellent.

I would call it brushed stainless steel. It is definitely a smooth surface. No texture on the metal which makes it easy to clean. It is not super shiny like chrome.

It is NOT glossy. It looks like Carbon Fiber...not matte, but has a texture finish.

The finish is brushed metal. The outside is black and the keyboard face is brushed aluminum. It's nice because you don't get as many smudgy fingerprints, so it looks cleaner. This laptop runs EXTREMELY cool and I am one of those people who is always multi-tasking, running several different programs and having 12+ tabs open on my browser. I can feel a bit of warmth on the left side, but I could work with the laptop on my lap for hours comfortably. My old MSI would be burning my legs after 10 minutes.

It is a shiny mirror finish, not a brushed finish. FYI, brushed stainless is still a stainless steel, just a different finish.

It has a matte finish with some specs of metallic....not a lot of metallic. First came damaged due to poor packaging. Second one came quickly and in perfect condition. Very nice. I absolutely love it.

It has a matte finish. Not shiny. I believe you can polish it to shine though.

I would call it glossy. However it is really clear. I did not realize how dull the matte one I had before really was...

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's mostly matte, very smooth and professional... it doesn't look "cheap" or "glossy", it looks very well made and classy...I love mine! :)
