glossy screen or matte?

It's matte. There's no glare. I have had mine for about 4 or 5 months now and it works awesome. Side viewing is excellent. For the money there is no better monitor out there at this time. The only weak point is the monitor speakers, but I know of no monitor speakers that sound any good. I use my own speaker system. This monitor performs very well in all types of different lighting.

I believe it to be a matte screen; it has no glare or reflection. I have used it in fluorescent office light and natural light, quality barely changes. I hope this helps.

Yes the screen is glossy, but so extremely sharp that it is not an issue. After buying a few as a test for our CAD operators and engineers, we ended up buying 20 because they were so well liked.

It s matte, I dont think you will find the glossy display outside of the 120hz 3d display. Note this did not come with any operating system or product key either.

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

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

I'm not sure I fully understand the distinction, but I would say there is nothing glossy about it. I see very little glare. The display seems more subdued or muted.

Not glossy, more so matte. When you look at your screen from an angle or when it's off, you can tell there's a screen protector (which really isn't that big of a deal, of course); however, when it comes to actually using and looking at the screen, you can't really tell there's something there, so it's good from that perspective. Worth it.

brother or sister, the screen is matte, not glossy. i ordered this notebook a little while ago and it just arrived today, best decision [in regards to electronics] i have ever made, ever. i owned four windows notebooks before purchasing this one, and using this notebook [and mac os] actually simulates the feeling of "a breath of fresh air".

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town. The screen looks kinda like a matte surface. It is not what I consider to be a glossy. I have had this screen for about a year and it works just fine. Thanks!

It's a personal preference but I prefer glossy but that's just me. Hope this helps!

I'd call it semi-gloss or satin. It's not completely matte, it reflects some, but not like a glossy screen does.

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.

Why are you touching the bevel? I think the screen is matte. I kinda wish it was glossy.

It is glossy. I think the brighter the picture needs a glossy screen, it reflected so bad though I returned it. However, I bought a Samsung and its gloss screen is just about as bad, even though both have great pictures.

It is matte, but matte in a little bit satin. Screens are never 100 % matte

The screen is a matte finish, not nearly as glossy as a plasma or a high contrast LCD. Resolution is decent, but is definitely a matte finish, no gloss.

Matte. The screen has become less sensitive and is not as clear. Thinking about buying a different kind of product.
