The product description says "glossy-finish", does that refer to the viewable part of the screen or the border around the monitor?

Just to add to other comments, the screen is anti-glare, the glossy part is the boarder. I use it in my home office and have several lights shining around the monitor and there's absolutely no glare from the monitor.

Itss the boarder around the monitor, the screen is actually anti glare proof which is nice

The screen itself is not glossy, but the bezel around it is. There are no reflections from other light sources that would hinder viewing. I have a window facing the screen, a desk lamp next side it and overhead lights and see no reflections from any. I use this quite a bit for Excel spreadsheets & Word Documents and have no problems with clarity.

I actually bought this for a friend for her birthday. But if I recall, the picture is fine and the gloss is around the edges. Hope this helps.

When they mention glossy in the video they are talking about the stand and frame. I think that is what you are referring to. The screen itself is not a glass covered gloss type screen.

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.

It is a non-glossy, matte screen, which is usually what people refer to as anti-glare. However, I prefer the glossy screens because they look sharper.

Mine was glossy too. I asked them before purchasing it because I didn't want to risk getting a matte finish and they said that glossy finish were the only ones they had left then. It wouldn't hurt to check with the seller now again though I guess. I really liked my screen and the packaging was really good! Good luck!! :)

High-Resolution Gloss Screen, honestly you would not want a matte finish to interfere with the display quality of this monitor. Make sure that it is compatible before purchase though, made that mistake with my iMac until the new iOS update.

No, the display is not glossy. Unlike conventional screens on regular monitors that are glossy, this one is not. Reflections on the screen are almost non-existent. You have to look for certain angles at which you can catch some faint reflections on the screen. It truly is a great display for photography/image processing.

The small black plastic border around the outside is definitely glossy and reflective, but the screen is not. I have 2 27" screens and the only slight reflection I get is on the top monitor because the ceiling light bounces directly off of it due to the height. My point is, unless you have a light aiming directly at the screen, there is no glare. Matte

Wayne.. not huge techy, but I can tell you its not a liquid look..nor it is not matte like a traditional computer monitor. it does has a plastic sheen if I turn it off. the base that comes with it is stationary... just a user here .. not responsible for seller just trying to be helpful

I took the plastic off of mine. It is a matte finish. It is not that shiney black. But looking at my regular TV it is the same. I love the picture and feel this was a really good monitor.

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.

I've never thought of a monitor as matte or glossy but I'd say that it's certainly not glossy. Btw, I like this laptop very much but not thrilled with Windows 8, though I am getting used to it.

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.

Matte with anti-glare finish. You can find this monitor on sale for 199.99 all the time, for the money you can't beat the quality of this monitor. I bought one used it, loved it and than purchased two more.

It is a gloss clear finish. The finish looks very similar to how the screen looks without the cover.

It is a little glossy but the screen is easy to see and read. I haven't had it outside in daylight so not sure what it is like there. I like it better than the screen the compaq came with , which was broken due to carelessness.I am happy with it,,, it is quite bright.very distinct images.

No, of course, there IS a border. That picture of the monitor is accurate. The border is precisely 1/2 inch, or ~13 mm. Yes, I guess there is no perfect product description. That's why I like to see the pic, or search for that model on manufacturer's website. They most likely will have correct picture and description.
