How glossy is the screen? Glare is a huge issue for me and I can't figure out how matte or reflective this screen is. Thank you!

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

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

This all depends on the lighting in the room. The finish on the monitor is about standard.

the screen is not glossy. yes it is matte, only thing is that when the sun is hitting the screen and you are watching a movie/video that some parts are dark, you have to use your body to block the in order to see the dark parts of the video, or close the curtains.

Glare is absolutely a NON issue.. screen is all matte and very effective. Having said that I am returning this product for reasons of other defects - ripples on the display starting from the bottom going all the way to the top. Very irritating!

You definitely could not use this screen as a mirror, even when it's off. I've had absolutely no glare issues with it since I bought it, but it isn't in the very brightest room in my house. So, upon seeing your question, I did some tests: I turned in all the lights in the room and opened the blinds while it was sunny out. On a colorful screen, I didn't notice any glare, so I switched to a screen with a plain blue background. On the plain blue background I did notice some reflections of objects very close to the screen when I looked carefully from the right angle. There was no glare from the lights at all. I cannot answer definitively, but compared to monitors and televisions I've had in the past, this screen seems to handle potential glare very very well.

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.

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!

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.

it is matted, but not dull like old LCD screens. The frame is glossy plastic.There is very little glare compared to a glossy screen. I am staring at the thing as I am typing. I would post a photo if I could

No, the screen is gloss finish and does show reflection. It's not as bad as another Samsung gloss screen I have for some reason, but it's not non-glare. That's my only dislike of this TV, and I bought two of them at Christmas.

This one is not matte/anti-glare - this is the glossy one. I prefer the clear, glossy ones because I will need to set the display brighter since the matte film blocks part of the light and I cannot read/see from the display that well, resulting in faster drain of my battery - *just from experience*

The screen is a matte finish, not nearly as glossy as a plasma or a high contrast LCD. Resolution is decent, but is definitely a matte finish, no gloss.

I chatted with vizio. They said it was a matte screen. However, according to a review here, the screen is glossy. Since I need a matte screen I'll wait for it to be in the store to see for myself. $2000 is too much to order blind.

It's semi-matte. The whole point is to be anti-glare, and a glossy shine would be counterproductive. That said, it's not perfect. With the film on the screen, there's significantly less glare/shine than without, but there's still some glare/shine. I wish it had been a perfect solution, but I'm decently happy with the result. For me, it was worth the money.

It is matte and such a great, bright screen without any glare. I love it. M R

I had Asus and now I have S10 (love it so far), they are both anti-glare type of screen, meaning non-glossy. I know a coworker who bought the HP mini, which DOES have glassy screen and glares like crazy.

yeah the glare is bad. I'd check out what Tom said cause I did a quick search and found several listed for specific laptops/brands but not for this one. Hope you find one that works.

The screen is not matte. My old Samsung was matte, but this one shows the glare of a light behind me in the screen.

This monitor is not glossy (I wish it was). It has a very light anti-glare matte screen (what some might call "semi-glossy"). Technical review sites like www.pcmonitors.info rate it at 15% haze factor, so it is lighter and clearer than modern lightly-coated IPS panels at 18% (and much lighter than older panels at 25%), but not as light and clear as Samsung's semi-glossy coating of 13% haze factor.

It is a matte screen, so not much glare. But any screen in certain lighting will have at least some glare.

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.
