Is it a glossy screen?

Yes , it is . But if you are looking for matte i would prefer this one ( ViewSonic VX2270Smh ) they are both IPS and have the same features and image quality 1080p super clear IPS .

Yes, it is a glossy screen (which improves color perception). It does reflect light, and is best used in a dimmer room.

It is a glossy glass surface, but it's reflectivity would depend upon the ambient light in the room.

No it is not glossy, I really do like this monitor, the only negative that I have found is to turn the monitor on or off, the button(s) are located under the screen, and I have to keep pushing from the underside of the screen, and I am concerned that the monitor will start to "lean" to the side after prolonged use. But that still does remain to be seen. I hope this is helpful to you

The one I got was glossy. Looked better than the original. Unfortunately my computer got stolen and I ended up having to buy a entire new Toshiba. lol

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.

This is actually a gloss Monitor with an antiglare finish. So it's kind of right in between. The truer colors that a glossy screen can provide and not as much reflection from ambient light. However on bright screens it does have a somewhat odd pattern that is visible because of this.

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.

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.

Just recieved ours a week ago and it has a matte screen. I totally forgot that it never asked for my preference when I was ordering! So I think you are right, Amazon doesn't offer the glossy. I personally like the matte better, less annoying reflection, though I've heard the glossy screens have better color, personal preference.

actually I think the screen is glossy, my husband uses it for work, he works in the oilfield, it is heavy, but there are filters on the fans so they can be cleaned, it's a lot more powerful than my gaming desktop which is about a year older, I think it would have enough power to do some serious photo editing, he also watches movies on with no problems

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.

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.

I am not certain if it is Matte or Glossy. I can tell you that we have ours mounted on the wall in our bedroom, and when the main light is on, it does have a glare on the screen that can make it difficult to see. Once we turn down the light, or turn it off and use a lamp, the picture is excellent.

The screen is matte. No reflections. I use it in a bright room and I see everything but reflection.

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.

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!

I believe glossy. When the computer is turned off the black screen reflects much like a mirror.
