I did my homework and these were the two I came down to as well. Honestly, I think you'll be pleased with either. I haven't had the Asus in hand; I went with the Toshiba, as that's where my heart kept going back to. They're very close, feature/spec-wise. (I trust you're not expecting 720p+ video, because that does not play well on most netbooks.) Asus should have longer battery life, and it has built-in bluetooth. (Bluetooth USB adapter runs $20-25 otherwise.) The Toshiba is downright beautiful, and its texture won't pick up fingerprints. I don't know what the Asus screen is like; the Toshiba screen is excellent. I can vouch for Toshiba's multi-taskability, though I don't doubt Asus' capability at the same. I really think they'll both be loveable; what does your heart say?

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.

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

Matte. I've been using this monitor for quite a while now (a few months) and love it. It sits side by side with an older Acer 22" I have and the whites/blacks are very distinguishable especially when I straddle a window between the two monitors. It's amazing how much better the colors are on the AOC.

Thank you for the helpful information. I guess I will see about getting a cheaper netbook. I looked at a lot of reviews for different ones and they all seem about the same. Do you know which one is the best one to buy? I would like one that has a long battery life.

I can only speak for myself, but I really don't care for the glossy screens. I have one on my Dell laptop and it looks great in perfectly controlled lighting; However, it is very reflective and I find myself adjusting the screen angle more than I would like. I am also looking at this monitor, which looks like a good deal, but I think I'll go with a matte screen.

Did you buy the ASUS netbook yet? I've narrowed it down to this model, and would like to get something other than the popular "Black" color.I think I'm leaning towards the "Blue" color. I asked someone that bought the blue ASUS and they said it's darker blue than the picture and has purple highlights. I think that's a color I would like. Whatever color you choose really comes down to your own personal preference. Good Luck in choosing if you haven't already!!

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.

I would be so curious and interested to know what your other computers are that do not 'compare' with the Samsung - are they netbooks or ultraportables? If so, what exactly makes the Samsung better? Could you describe the screen, please, in detail? Is it bright, deep color saturation, are the fonts clear and legible and crisp, how is it in the sunlight, that sort of thing. So many reviews say 'great screen', but go into no detail, and I really want to know before I take this plunge. Much appreciate.

It doesn't have the matte screen. It uses the ultra clear panel rather than the matte screen. Picture looks great in day and night. The thing that bothers me about about the b630 and b650 is all that red touch of color and the little bubble on the bottom of screen. I would think it would be distracting when watching movies. I went with the b640 with light grey touch of color, ultra clear panel, added DLNA and I love it. The price was too good to pass.

I believe it was the exact same model and therefore specs because the model number is an exact match. That is how I found this Amazon page. I plugged the model number into Google. I wanted to see what others thought about this netbook as we bought it after only a few minutes of shopping. This isn't my normal style but we bought it for our son-in-law who flew out tonight and we wanted him to have a computer.

This has a matte panel, or semi-matte. For the clear panel, you need to get the ln40b640 (exclusive to bestbuy) or the ln40b650. Each one is about $100 more than the last.

the screen is matte... I LOVE it and have been using it for about 3 months now.

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!! :)
