Is it Matte or Glossy?

This monitor is not glossy (I wish it was). It has a very light anti-glare matte screen (what some might call "semi-glossy"). Technical review sites like www.pcmonitors.info rate it at 15% haze factor, so it is lighter and clearer than modern lightly-coated IPS panels at 18% (and much lighter than older panels at 25%), but not as light and clear as Samsung's semi-glossy coating of 13% haze factor.

Glossy is the shiny finish and matte is a duller finish. I got the dull version because I have little kids and they play games on my phone. I figured that over time, they may scratch the case up a bit from dropping it all the time and with the matte version, you don't notice scratches as much. I am super happy with the case and have gotten so many compliments on it.

I believe it would be considered matte. The light that is reflected is dim, not shiny like i get from my glossy laptop screen.

It's glossy. I have found it protects my screen very well. It went on well and did not bubble at all. Any small bubbles were gone by the next day. I had one on my old iPhone and it was still good after 2 years.

Technically glossy, but there is a coating that acts as if it were somewhat matte. Side angle is acceptable IMO. Have yet to use it in a really bright room, however I'm sure there are varying definitions of a bright room, but I wouldn't think for a netbook of this size you'd be disappointed.

It's glossy, not mirror like but definitely a little glossy. I know what you mean ant the matte finish. You won't get that, bit the sheildf actually provides better grip than without.

The case is Matte. It looks really good and seems to be holding up nicely. The keypad cover I gave away because it was annoying and useless, as far as the case though, I really like it!

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!! :)

It's a matt finish. Not velvety feeling and not glossy either. Slightly textured.

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! :)

The screen does not reflect so guess it is glossy. It has a fixed slight tilt.

I would say matte, but there are supposedly different versions of the screen. My two are matte.

I guess I would say glossy. I don't have any issues with glare, but I also have it in an inner room where I don't have direct light on it.

It was matte. it's very hard to locate double sided glossy. But, there are but in large quantity and cost. If you get small amount like 50 sheet at a good price let me know.victor

It is glossy, however I haven't had any issues with glare as the screen is bright enough when it is on I don't notice it!

It is more of a matte vs glossy. Background reflection is minimal. Is a good monitor.
