Is the screen on this laptop matte or glossy? How does it do with glare when used outside or in bright areas?

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 more of a matte vs glossy. Background reflection is minimal. Is a good monitor.

It is somewhere in between matte and glossy. It has excellent anti-glare characteristics.

Hard to answer......the edges are glossy - the screen when off is matte finish. When turned on, the picture is clear and crisp. We love it and have no complaints.

Screen is glossy. Does a great job with 3D. 120hz i believe. Have it paired with a Dell laptop- great way to go.

I actually don't notice any glare from overhead lights. There isn't a window with sunlight shining on the monitor so I don't know if that would be a problem. I would say it's more matte than glossy.

Screen Glare is "normal" - I haven't noticed anything unusual about it (good or bad). You can remove the battery. It has a standard power adapter with the "brick" in the middle. Its a no frills mid-range laptop.

I believe it to be a matte screen; it has no glare or reflection. I have used it in fluorescent office light and natural light, quality barely changes. I hope this helps.

I would describe it as satin, but definitely not matte. No where near as glossy as plasma screens. There are some reflections during day light hours, depending on number of windows, etc. In the evening, in a normally lit room, it blows you away with it's brightness, color, contrast and high definition - an excellent choice.

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!

I have had no problem with glare, I have only used it indoors so I can't say what it would be like outside. I would think it would be fine.

It's not glossy nor 100% matte. I would say it is more on the matte side. It you have a Dell laptop it is the same. Very good lighting.

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.

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town. The screen looks kinda like a matte surface. It is not what I consider to be a glossy. I have had this screen for about a year and it works just fine. Thanks!

I would like to think it does, but I can't say for sure because I applied the screen protector shortly after I got the laptop. But that being said, I don't think this laptop has a lot of glare in the first place. It's screen is just so well made that most of the time, everything shows clearly regardless of the lighting.*Note: I've only used the laptop indoors, so I don't really know how it'll work outside.*

Not glossy. Not true matte but more of a satin finish. Doesn't seem to glare though. My wife uses it as a second screen for graphics design and likes it very much.
