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!

yes its similar to the apple monitor but a tad bit less glossy. Watch out as mine came with 4 dead pixels...

Yes it is. I use it for AutoCAD and Illustrator and I had to close the windows to notice.

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.

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.

i guess glossy, i mean if your talking about contrast or something, its an HD screen, if your talking about the plastic its matte, almost a kevlar feel, looks cool

It's certainly not glossy but it does have sort of a frosted anti-glare coating which is most noticeable when you have a white background and text. If you are looking at a photo or video or a lot of color you don't see the coating but if all you were doing was typing documents all day it gives the white areas on the screen a very faint "textured effect" for lack of a better phrase. Having said all that, I personally don't mind it and I really like the monitor overall. In most cases if I find I'm noticing the coating at all, like while writing this, I just bump up the size of the type and everything is fine.

The screen is definitely glossy and has a reflective surface. It is not a matte screen (like the Kindle Paperwhite--for example--has) and I can see reflections clearly in it. However, the display is sharp and readable to me. On average, I spend 3 or 4 hours a day looking at the screen and the reflectiveness does not bother me.

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

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

Hi, it has antiglare protection, not a glossy screen. This gives a great definition to the screen.

the screen is matte... I LOVE it and have been using it for about 3 months now.

The screen is semi-matte. It is glossier than the old matte screens but nothing like the mirror gloss of many other models and brands. This was a concern of mine and with this set it is not an issue.

Not sure I understand the question. The screen looks like any other I have used. The material around the screen is shiny but the screen itself is matte.....

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!

Nope not glossy. No thick anti glare coating either that you will find on the Dells.

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!
