This monitor is not glaasy and the contrast is so good, especially considering the price. I am a web developer and am very happy with this monitir to the point I am thinking of buying another one.

Screen is not glossy, however, it looks really good. I had to turn off screen to verify what type of finish it had since the video is so clear. Just to be clear, glossy to me is it looks like glass, good shine, this screen when off looks like matte in my opinion.

Hi Thank you for your interest. It's glossy screen like Apple cinema display. Thanks.

Matte finish vs Glossy finish! You can have that ACER with its glossy screen, the glare is horrible! I'll take the trade off of less vivid colors!I love mine! I think the sound is appropriate for the small speaker system. I am personally happy with the display and I've used both the ASUS and ACER. That ACER looks deceptively great until you start using it and the glare drives you crazy.

Its glossy...Its like a plasma screen.... You gte some reflection from a lamp or light behind you but to me its worth it for the picture you get from this tv along with all the other features....

It is not matte, it is glossy. But it is not appear to be as glossy as some other flat panels. But it is glossy.

I believe it's glossy. I never got it to work (issue with ribbon cable). Decided to buy a new laptop, instead.

No, the screen is not glossy. I now have my monitor on a wall mount. Without the base the monitor is 15 1/2 inches high. When I had it on the base I think it added about 4 inches to a overall height just under 20 inches.

It has a matte display. There's some reflection, but not much. I've had the laptop for a few weeks and really like it. The only thing about it I don't like is the trackpad - it's just not very responsive. But I use a full keyboard and mouse 90% of the time anyway.

Glossy. It is a very nice picture. I don't get any glare - it is set up on a corner desk away from the window. I really do like this monitor.

Yes, I saw the monitor on sale at my local costco. It is a matte finish on the screen. BTW... costco is having a $40 rebate right now. If I remembered it correctly, the current price for this monitor at costco is around $220 before tax.

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.

No it is a matte screen I have also had no problems with this monitor great color and performance watching movies, sports, gaming etc. I cannot tell you if it is better than a viewsonic model I have not tried out but I can tell you for the price I got this monitor it has well outdone my expectations. Yes there may be better monitors but probably at double the price. So unless your upgrading to a high end photo editing architectural etc monitor your not going to get better at least from my experience!

It is a little glossy but the screen is easy to see and read. I haven't had it outside in daylight so not sure what it is like there. I like it better than the screen the compaq came with , which was broken due to carelessness.I am happy with it,,, it is quite bright.very distinct images.

The matte display is fine. They are not glossy at all. A very good monitor for this price point.

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

This is actually a gloss Monitor with an antiglare finish. So it's kind of right in between. The truer colors that a glossy screen can provide and not as much reflection from ambient light. However on bright screens it does have a somewhat odd pattern that is visible because of this.

Screen is matte, very good gaming monitor, colors are very crisp compared to other monitors I've seen
