Is the screen matte or glossy. I hate glossy screens

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 screen is matte. The advantage of having this monitor is that the color does not change by the angle of viewing. For me that was a big plus as I frequently get up from the table to view the screen from a distance. I also like the outstanding resolution. Hope that helps.

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!! :)

The screen is glossy, but not high gloss. I don't even notice a reflection when it's turned on. Max supported refresh rate is 60Hz.

I believe it's glossy. I never got it to work (issue with ribbon cable). Decided to buy a new laptop, instead.

Matte, be careful when you order as I needed the glossy one as well and I ordered the wrong one. It still works it is just not as clear as the old screen, but its a back up laptop so it doesn't matter to me.

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 is a non-glossy, matte screen, which is usually what people refer to as anti-glare. However, I prefer the glossy screens because they look sharper.

Hi Thank you for your interest. It's glossy screen like Apple cinema display. Thanks.

Not glossy. Not true matte but more of a satin finish. Doesn't seem to glare though. My wife uses it as a second screen for graphics design and likes it very much.

When they mention glossy in the video they are talking about the stand and frame. I think that is what you are referring to. The screen itself is not a glass covered gloss type screen.

Well, the best I can do is to say that the screen is not shiny --- it is like a "flat" surface --- so to me, this is a matte screen.

I've never thought of a monitor as matte or glossy but I'd say that it's certainly not glossy. Btw, I like this laptop very much but not thrilled with Windows 8, though I am getting used to it.

This is matte. Which I'm torn on. I see lines in the screen in totally black areas which bug me. But on prints it's not there so I'm getting used to it. I do like that I never have any glare so there are pluses and minuses to it. Over all I love this computer! It's amazing!

The screen is matte and not glossy at all. I have bright lights directly above my screen and sit about 2 feet away from it, and there's no glare on the screen. The frame is glossy, though; the only place I notice it is at the bottom, where it's a little more than 1" wide. The frame on the top and sides is very thin and the gloss isn't noticable there. Hope this helps!

It is matte. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the description to suggest which it is... that is why I mentioned that it is a matte screen in my review. Hope this helps.

The screen is glossy as it is a capacitive touch screen. The glare can be pretty bad, but on full brightness the screen should always be seeable. Just don't sit with the sun over your shoulder.
