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.

Hi D.A laughlin, yes we do have the Matte Display version with HD resolution and faster specs (2.2Ghz Quad Core i7 and 750GB HDD) and that would be the MC723LL/A model (an upgraded from MC721LL/A for this listing). Check it out here:

Hi, the VivoBook S500 is my first Asus netbook, so I can't compare it with another model. Sorry

I was at Best Buy today and asked about the matte screen. The B750 does not have a matte screen. That would be a great feature -- especially in a bright room.

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.

I think he meant Matte screen or glossy. I went to Fry's just to look if matte finish will bother me since I am very sensitive, cause headache with blurry text caused by thin film coating on the screen. I found out the text is blurry, so I cancel my order to amazon today.

It is matte. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the description to suggest which it is... that is why I mentioned that it is a matte screen in my review. Hope this helps.

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.

I bought my netbook back in November 2008. Opened it up today to use and discovered the screen is cracked. I hadn't dropped it or anything. I'm wondering how much it will cost to have the screen replaced.

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 own one and the screen is matte. i also take photos for architectural/real estate. best if you have monitor calibration tools, otherwise default color settings not that good for editing/processing. i also use my nikon tethered straight to laptop and works well. has built in sd card reader too. only downside is battery life. high performance settings will get you about 1.5hrs work time. power brick is literally a brick so not that portable. overall, very good and reliable machine. i won't replace this for a few years more even with the updated ROG models already out.

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.

PortableOne.com has customizable macbooks. Last I checked it was about $50 cheaper for a matte screen than the apple store.

Hi Lorien H., Thank you for your inquiry. If the item in the Ad states that it's a "Matte" screen, you should receive a matte screen. We hope this information has helped, please let us know if you have any other questions and we'll be happy to help you. Regards, Glaiza

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.
