Just recieved ours a week ago and it has a matte screen. I totally forgot that it never asked for my preference when I was ordering! So I think you are right, Amazon doesn't offer the glossy.I personally like the matte better, less annoying reflection, though I've heard the glossy screens have better color, personal preference.

Matte. I really like it. Very little glare or fingerprints. Best I've found.

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!! :)

I believe it would be considered matte. The light that is reflected is dim, not shiny like i get from my glossy laptop screen.

Actually, semi-glossy. It's not fully glossy nor matte. It's kinda a hybrid between them. So clarity isn't a problem, and you shouldn't experience too much glare or reflection either.

The monitor is quite matte. Very little reflection. This works well if you have a light behind you (like a window); however, there may be some slight cost of sharpness vs a glossy screen.

Hi Enrique,The Glossy Screen is a build-to-order option from Apple, and is not offered on the retailer model of the MacBook Pro. If you're not satisfied with a matte screen, you will have to purchase from Apple directly. I was in the same situation, and ended up getting the glossy screen from Apple after I compared the two side-by-side.

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

It is an excellent display screen. Perfect for viewing graphics. It is anti-glare. Don't know what you mean by glossy??

Please note both of N110 and N120 are glossy screen. You should go with NC10 if you prefer matte screen without any reflections.

Advantages of the glossy display are sharpness, brightness, clarity, ie, image quality. When the glass is "frosted" for a "matte" display, it does not reflect much light because the rougher matte surface scatters any light which strikes the screen, spreading the reflection out and reducing the amount of reflected light which strikes your eyes ("glare"). HOWEVER, it also scatters the light coming THROUGH the glass, that is, the light from the display which is what you want to look at. This makes the display a little less sharp. On the other hand, a glossy screen does not scatter light; it reflects light quite well, resulting in more glare in some situations, but you can usually adjust the position of the monitor or move your head a bit to reduce the glare. Because there is no scattering of light passing through the glass as well, the display is sharper and also has better color. These effects may not be very pronounced, or they may be quite noticeable, depending on the particular display you are considering. It is simply a matter of preference. I like the glossy screen because I have poor vision (only one eye is working now, so I need all the help I can get!), and I enjoy the brighter, crisper display I get with glossy screens. Again, as a matter of preference, there are some poorly done glossy displays which are inferior in clarity, brightness and sharpness to well done matte displays. The best way to check all this out is to go to a computer store and look at the various monitors, glossy and matte, and decide for yourself. (whew! weez ..... pant ..... gasp .... )

It s matte, I dont think you will find the glossy display outside of the 120hz 3d display. Note this did not come with any operating system or product key either.

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.

Why are you touching the bevel? I think the screen is matte. I kinda wish it was glossy.
