Is the screen matte or shiny finish? What's the resolution?

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

High-Resolution Gloss Screen, honestly you would not want a matte finish to interfere with the display quality of this monitor. Make sure that it is compatible before purchase though, made that mistake with my iMac until the new iOS update.

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

No the screen is not matte finish, it has a very good picture and I am very satisfied with the computer

The bezel is neither. The bezel has a bumpy finish on top of a shiny finish. The net effect is that the bezel has a bit of a shine to it without being a finger print magent and doesn't have distracting glare. The screen itself has a slightly matte finish. The screen is glossier than the 6 year old Sharp Aquos it replaced, but it's not super glossly like some Samsung displays I've seen in the past. My viewing area has windows and lamps and the glare hasn't been distracting. Viewing TVs in a showroom, the finish on this screen is just like all other TVs offered at this time. I was concerned about this myself and I am happy with the finish on the screen. The picture still pops even though it doesn't have a super glossy screen.

The screen is glossy but I do not have a problem with shadows or reflection. It is a great Screen. I think it is wonderful!

i guess glossy, i mean if your talking about contrast or something, its an HD screen, if your talking about the plastic its matte, almost a kevlar feel, looks cool

It isn't a matte finish. I wouldn't call it a glass finish either. It is just like my TV which is a 32" Vivio. What I like about it is that it doesn't gradually get darker a darker picture as it gets older like most monitors do.

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!! :)

Hi, it is shiny (glossy). I do prefer flat (matte) myself so that you don't get that glare. But, it is not super glossy on some laptops. This laptop is ok.

It's matte finish. You don't have to worry about annoying by screen reflection for this TV.

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 glossy, but not high gloss. I don't even notice a reflection when it's turned on. Max supported refresh rate is 60Hz.

Technically glossy, but there is a coating that acts as if it were somewhat matte. Side angle is acceptable IMO. Have yet to use it in a really bright room, however I'm sure there are varying definitions of a bright room, but I wouldn't think for a netbook of this size you'd be disappointed.

actually I think the screen is glossy, my husband uses it for work, he works in the oilfield, it is heavy, but there are filters on the fans so they can be cleaned, it's a lot more powerful than my gaming desktop which is about a year older, I think it would have enough power to do some serious photo editing, he also watches movies on with no problems
