The monitor is separate correct? How is it in the daytime? Alot of these products have trouble with reflection and the monitor.

I've not had too much of a problem there but I get some glare from lights and it is a little less effective when it rains.

I find the image crystal clear when not backing up into the sun. I quite happy with it!

David, yes, however, i have the monitor landscape and very low. It is ok, but because i have it so low the tilt is not really what i would like. i am not going to return the unit, because it is better than what i had, but the issue is that since it does not tilt far enough, the color on the monitor is weak. what i need is for the tilt to be be a greater angle as if i put my hand under the bottom and pulled it to me. i need that angle to be increased. if it where higher that would be an improved color, but i need it to be amost touching the desk. I use it aside a laptop and that is the reason it needs to be so low.Paul David, yes, however, i have the monitor landscape and very low.

What Mike said. They're all LCDs with LED backlighting. Some better than others. This one's a great monitor though, especially for the price! Only advice I have is if purchasing more than one for a multi-monitor set up you will 100% need some calibration software. I bought two and they are completely different temps. Not even close (this is standard with monitors within the industry). Calibration is a must...but well worth it for product at this price point.

I never checked it. Sorry for that and now one of the monitors fell from the head rest and snapped the connection, make sure that they sit well in the head rest, otherwise it is a good product. Thx

I have had both the glossy and the matte screens. As long as you don't have light directed towards the glossy screen then I think that you should enjoy it. Many people are overstating the negatives of this monitor.

Glossy - great monitor but will reflect so you have to consider where you place it

If you have tinted windows and dark colored seats, you can see it great. My car has a light colored interior and no tint on the windows so I have to tilt the mirror down to eliminate the glare. Compared to a $450.00 factory setup my $50.00 setup works great with the limitations it has. The ideal solution would be to install a monitor into a dark recess of the dash so there would be no glare. The problem is then you are looking down and not able to see your other mirrors in your peripheral vision.

I found that my TV does not have reflection issues...they are not eliminated but are reduced to a point that you have to be looking for reflections in order to see them at all. Glare has not been an issue for me at all. Remembering that plasmas inherently have lower brightness than any LCD/LED set, the reflection/glare level is satisfactory, your issues may be more brightness related. The set has a beautiful picture!

I love mine. It works great. The reflection can be an issue sometimes but not enough to worry about. Hope this helps.

I like this monitor, however I had problems with the first one I ordered. I ordered a new one and at times the screen will display broken images. Almost like the Monitor has damage. Not sure how else to describe it to you. I have to turn it off and turn it back on to get it to work properly. As for the extra equipment, we never purchased anything other than what came with the monitor. Good luck! and Congratulations!!

Like all modern monitors, this too has a coating for clarity. However most folks that ask me this are really asking if it has a polarized later so they can use it in sunlight or bright stage lights. Nope...but the screen shouldn't be cleaned with amonia based cleaners anyway.

It's definitely glossy and reflective, but I wouldn't say that there's any more glare than the original screen by itself. It's really quite unnoticeable. Unless maybe your screen brightness is all the way down and you're out in direct sunlight at noon, but then there's always the viewfinder.

It has a "matte" finish meaning it greatly reduces glare, there is still glare but it's not as bad as "glossy" (aka shiny) monitors. In fact, It has almost no glare even with direct sunlight.

This all depends on the lighting in the room. The finish on the monitor is about standard.

I find glare a problem as well. As one poster says, "the reflection is not a bother at all", well, that makes me wonder is there is still some reflection. I have a matte screen now and love it - no glare even with direct light. I'd love to upgrade my TV to 1080p but can't seem to find screens that are matte any more. So frustrating when manufactures do stuff like this. They should at least make it an option.

No, the display is not glossy. Unlike conventional screens on regular monitors that are glossy, this one is not. Reflections on the screen are almost non-existent. You have to look for certain angles at which you can catch some faint reflections on the screen. It truly is a great display for photography/image processing.

The monitor does not have a glossy screen and the unit will tilt easily in all directions. It's a great monitor and works perfectly.
