Antiglare, glossy, or "in-between"?

This monitor is full on glossy. While no issue at night, during the day you may experience issues with glare is you are using this monitor near a light source.

I guess you could call it a matte finish since it is not glossy. I would prefer to call it anti-glare. This anti-glare finish does not distract from its sharp image.

The one that I purchased was not anti-glare(matte finish,) they were clear gloss just like the screen on the Asus laptop. The glare doesn't bother me at all. Personally I am not a fan of anti-glare, because of how much it cuts down the viewing angles. The only other companies that you might try are the zagg company or bodyguards. I personally recommend bodyguards because they are always coming out with new products when people ask for them. Hope this helps. Good luck. -Steve K.

I'm not sure what the difference you subjectively think describe to be between high and soft gloss but this paper is definetly shiny, not matte. The level of shine is not extreme but it's there

I wouldn't say it was matte, but I definitely wouldn't call it high gloss. I'd say somewhere between semi-matte and gloss.

I have this monitor, and I do like it a lot, however, at certain times of the day, the glossiness does reflect light and I have to lower my blinds to prevent glare. Supposedly glossy screens have better image quality, but the glare is sort of annoying, and I wish it were a matte or anti glare screen. I didn't realize it was going to be glossy when I ordered it.

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

Travis, as Jeremy states these are very clear and of high quality. If you are looking for something that is Antiglare we also sell these screen protectors for the Nexus 5. The Antiglare ones though are not that clear. I hope this all helps. Best, Tech Armor Support

I have used them in both, but they are showing some micro cracking - just cosmetic. They may look better and last longer if you don't. Guess it just depends on how particular you are.

I would say somewhere in between, similar to a satin. This stuff is great on vinyl, roofs, seats, dashboards,etc.

If you're not sure, go with translucent. It blends right in with your skin :)

I am going to have to have to say glossy. It has a very nice and clear picture.

It's amazing how all the answers here are different. Glossy! Not glossy! Rubbery! Hard! Smooth!

I would say middle of the road. Certainly not of a high quality, but the polish goes on pretty easily and has a good finish if you use two coats. It's certainly better than some of the cheap varieties. I haven't tried the glittery ones yet though.

Its a trade off. The clarity is as you would expect it to be through thin frosted glass, but it does cut down on the glare. Photos are still sharp, clear and crisp - just not shiny! If you are old enough to remember the option of having your photos developed with a gloss or matte finish, this is the difference. Still beautiful, sharp and clear, just a matte finish. I love mine.

In very simple layman terms, the antiglare screen is a bit smoky to look thru. So it prevents the screen glare. Also the texture of the screen is a bit rough, due to which there are less chances of fingerprints. The HD clear is as the word suggests, very clear. But after a while, u can see fingerprints on the screen (they can be wiped off).
