is it a clear shiny surface or no glare surface?

It's a medium shiny clear. Dont think it shows glare much. Seems to absorb light well.

Just to add to other comments, the screen is anti-glare, the glossy part is the boarder. I use it in my home office and have several lights shining around the monitor and there's absolutely no glare from the monitor.

No, it is shiny glass. Only the older 17 inch models had the non-glare screen. It has not been much of problem, though, and actually seems to enhance clarity.

I've had this screen protector for some time now and have not noticed a glare. But I must say I've only used it indoors and have not used it outdoors. Hope this helps you.

No, the screen is gloss finish and does show reflection. It's not as bad as another Samsung gloss screen I have for some reason, but it's not non-glare. That's my only dislike of this TV, and I bought two of them at Christmas.

It is not anti glare! It is shiny! Look for the ZAGG protector that says anti glare.

I haven't noticed any glare with mine; It looks exactly like the computer screen itself, can't even tell I have a screen protector on.

Hello Craig, I bought the standard ones because I like the shiny look.I have used anti glare before and it seems OK.it does seem like you lose a little definition if you do use anti glare. If you are using it in a really bright area all the time then I'd say get it.otherwise I'd prefer the standard.

Mine has a matte screen. It is the first matte screen I have had, and I love it. No glare at all.

It's glossy. I don't have problems during the day tho (my room is quite bright too) but at night I have to turn off all the lights cause the reflection is pretty strong.

it is matted, but not dull like old LCD screens. The frame is glossy plastic.There is very little glare compared to a glossy screen. I am staring at the thing as I am typing. I would post a photo if I could

It's matte and I really like it 1) because of size and 2) no glare. I hope this helps

It looks glossy when it's off but I haven't had any reflective issues. I still love this machine and haven't found any cons about it!

I guess you could call it a matte finish since it is not glossy. I would prefer to call it anti-glare. This anti-glare finish does not distract from its sharp image.

The screen is glossy, however it's also ridiculously bright, so for most applications the lack of anti-glare is a non-issue. I haven't tested it outdoors, but I imagine that would be the one area you might have a problem.

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.
