Does this TV has a glossy screen, is it susceptible to reflections from a nearby lamp or window?

Its a semigloss screen, but after I have had another tv that was glossy, this one looks/feels like a matte finish to me. My tv faces my backdoor, and if the sun is shining directly through, I get some glare of course, but I don't think that could be helped. Great tv.

I just read the description for this monitor and ya it could be a little confusing..... The BEZEL (the black edge of the monitor that the screen goes in) is glossy... I get my head at the right angle and I can see my tv that's behind me reflected in it. But the monitor's screen itself has nothing, no glare, no reflection.

No glare. We have this tv next to two big windows. Picture is great from any angle and anytime of the day or night.

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."

It has a shiny finish however I dont think I would enjoy a tv with a matted screen at all. I would move my tv into a room with less windows or buy some drapes. This tv kicks ass. Everything else is the problem, not the tv!!!

The screen is very reflective like a mirror so you must get control of the lighting where you set up this TV. Any TV will perform poorly in a sunroom or overly bright room so it's not fair to blame this TV, especially since in a controlled lighting environment this glossy screen will outperform a TV with a matte anti reflective panel. Take care of ambient lighting and you will be amazed by this plasma panel!

It has a reflective screen. I wouldn't get this model if I couldn't control the light in the room.Hope this helps you make a decision. That being said, I really like mine.

There is no mat or glossy finish on the screen of a plasma. Plasmas screens are made of glass. I have a 60" plasma in a well lit room with lots or windows and glare and reflection aren't big issues for me. I find the problem with glare on most tv's these days is in the televisions frame. They all seem to be glossy and reflect light.

I never gave it any thought until the question was asked, but looking at it, in contrast to the edges surrounding the screen, I'd have to say matte. It will reflect light, but no where near as much as an older picture tube type TV.

I believe it is a glossy screen, but I have no idea how it compares to a Viewsonic. At the time I bought it, it was the cheapest 27inch TV I could find. I am using it on a wall in the basement in front of a treadmill, so picture quality was not high on my list. It looks pretty good though.

Hey Gary, The screen is matted. I can't see any reflection with my desk lamp on. However, very strong direct sunlight will give you some reflection which should be expected.

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.

The monitor is quite matte. Very little reflection. This works well if you have a light behind you (like a window); however, there may be some slight cost of sharpness vs a glossy screen.

Other than some reflections from the window that's on the opposite wall from the TV, I've never had any glare issues with this TV. My living room can get very bright during the day with two large windows and a sliding glass door, especially with the shades opened... so take that info however you would like.

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

I would assume glossy. My husband and I LOVE this television. We have not been disappointed at all. I hope that you plan to buy because the price is great and the tv has exceeded our expectations.
