Is the actual finish just as pictured or fairly similar? I haven't taken into consideration quality of screen displays as well

The color is pretty close to the picture. Id say its fairly light and not as red of a hue as the picture.

It is a beautiful light finish. It doesn't seem to have that fake look about it like on the particle board put together yourself computer desks.

Yes, the finish in the picture is pretty close. The picture might be a little over exposed, so the actual color is a tiny bit darker than pictured (but it's close).

It's pretty close in color. Might be just a tad darker in color. I bought it to match oak furniture that I all ready had.

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.

It is the same color. Each computer screen shows colors differently so I can't say it is "exactly".

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

Yes it is. It's an IPS monitor so no matter where you sit, the color/image wont distort. Compared to my other monitor, this is very crisp and sharp.

No the screen is not matte finish, it has a very good picture and I am very satisfied with the computer

I would like to know this too. Is the screen excessively glossy? I know on some of the higher end ones they make the display very shiny which is incredibly annoying if you have even a dimly lit room. This set is priced in the middle range so I'm wondering how the gloss on the screen is. It's so hard to tell in the stores because they have the screens in a dark area and angled just so.

It has a "matte" finish meaning it greatly reduces glare, there is still glare but it's not as bad as "glossy" (aka shiny) monitors. In fact, It has almost no glare even with direct sunlight.

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.....

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.

It's crazy how many different answers people give for all the questions on this monitor. It's glossy on the front, monitor half and a matte black finish on the back half where the output ports are. The base/stand is also a glossy black finish.

I have the black one, and the color, resolution, and brightness seem to be the same as the stock screen. The only difference I've noticed is that it does not have a very good viewing angle. I'm not sure about the quality of the gold colored screen.

Its not Glossy. But, it has a very bright display! My only downside is with the touch pad - takes some getting use to. It's not like previous Laptops. Overall a very good machine!!!!

Colors appear crisp and clear. Screen doesn't look grainy to me. I notice no difference with the screen quality when I compare it to my regular computer.

I think it is, but bear in mind that the quality of this thing is very low, as per my review. I recommend a higher resolution display.

The screen has the same quality as the regular screen. Only thing different is the style.

I would consider it a matte screen. It's not high gloss like those old CRT monitors.
