I've read comments that indicate that both types were used. The unit I have has a matte surface for the screen.

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.

Glossy, I have some white light bleed threw but no dead pixels or yellowish tint. I love this screen.

I'd call it semi-gloss or satin. It's not completely matte, it reflects some, but not like a glossy screen does.

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.

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!

Matte, be careful when you order as I needed the glossy one as well and I ordered the wrong one. It still works it is just not as clear as the old screen, but its a back up laptop so it doesn't matter to me.

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!

It has a matte display. There's some reflection, but not much. I've had the laptop for a few weeks and really like it. The only thing about it I don't like is the trackpad - it's just not very responsive. But I use a full keyboard and mouse 90% of the time anyway.

It is matte, but matte in a little bit satin. Screens are never 100 % matte

The matte side is better in all situations and is the side that changes the viewing angle of the screen, offering more privacy. The glossy side just makes the screen darker.

The screen it's self is matte and won't be too reflective, and the bezels are glossy. Very good monitor. Very happy with it.

glossy frame but matte screen. Took old one out, plugged this one in and turned it on light changed to blue (button under lower right corner of the screen) and it works fine straight out of the box.

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

Glossy. It is a very nice picture. I don't get any glare - it is set up on a corner desk away from the window. I really do like this monitor.
