Is the screen matte or glossy?

Glossy. I like this computer so far. Backlit keys are very nice. Key board feels good.

The screen is glossy with a glass layer. Can be very easily mistaken for a touchscreen

Hi, it is shiny (glossy). I do prefer flat (matte) myself so that you don't get that glare. But, it is not super glossy on some laptops. This laptop is ok.

To correct the previous answers...the screen ITSELF is a matte display...however with the touchscreen overlay it will still appear as glossy. So it depends on how you look at it. Figuratively speaking.

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

The screen is glossy but I do not have a problem with shadows or reflection. It is a great Screen. I think it is wonderful!

The one I was shipped is glossy. However a few sellers for this screen offer both options or state 'based on availability' in the details/description areas. If you have a preference check all the sellers before making a final decision.

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.

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!

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.

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'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!

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.

The screen it's self is matte and won't be too reflective, and the bezels are glossy. Very good monitor. Very happy with it.

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!

The matte display is fine. They are not glossy at all. A very good monitor for this price point.

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.
