Screen: Is it matte or glossy
1681628
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.

I would say matte, but there are supposedly different versions of the screen. My two are matte.

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.

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.

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

Not quite sure how to answer this question, but I'll try. The screen is not a dull matte, it is kind of a semi gloss, not a high-gloss white glass would be. Hope that helps.

It is a Matt screen sorry resident see your email. It works great. My other one was glossy and a little brighter. The Matt is nice though. A lot less reflection. Plugs right in pretty easy to install.

It is an excellent display screen. Perfect for viewing graphics. It is anti-glare. Don't know what you mean by glossy??

The screen is matte and not glossy at all. I have bright lights directly above my screen and sit about 2 feet away from it, and there's no glare on the screen. The frame is glossy, though; the only place I notice it is at the bottom, where it's a little more than 1" wide. The frame on the top and sides is very thin and the gloss isn't noticable there. Hope this helps!

It's a matte finish. But as good as the display is, that's not the best thing about this laptop. The sound is fantastic!

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

The screen is glossy as it is a capacitive touch screen. The glare can be pretty bad, but on full brightness the screen should always be seeable. Just don't sit with the sun over your shoulder.

It is a glossy finish. I'm not sure what the resolution is, but it's comparable to the original screen in the dv7.

The screen is matte. Mine sits next to a bright window, I've never noticed any glare or reflection. It's like a bottomless pit for any light it didn't emit.
