I wish Samsung wouldn't put that high gloss finish on the sides of the LCD, it adds to glare from any light shining on it.

It has a high gloss finish on the front, the stand, and a little of the sides. The back is a matte finish.

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.

The website I looked at shows the matte white/silver. I don't have that one. I have a gloss finish like shown on amazon.

I am also experiencing the "green lines" in 1080p. It looks good in 1080i. I called Philips support and the rep was trying to convince me that my Samsung LN40A550 LCD was not 1080p and I should call Samsung to see why I am seeing green lines. I was also very surprised when they said nobody has ever reported this issue. He had me upload the latest firmware but my unit already had the latest. I tried anyways and it didn't do anything.Anybody solved this problem yet?

Since its touchscreen, it is glossy. I don't know of any laptop with a matte finish that is touchscreen. I don't think that's even possible with current technology.

Well I just bought this Samsung about a week ago. It says Galaxy S4 on the back. I didn't see numbers after that. I'd have to go look at the box? Its the latest in the Samsung Galaxy. It is not the Notebook, however. They are larger

Are you sure? I thought Amazon only sold the matte screen version even for the previous model. I don't expect they will ever offer the new model with a glossy screen here.

After your post, I started looking for the "sparkling pixels" on my Sony, but haven't seen any yet. I never noticed any on the Sonys that I observed in the showrooms either. It does appear that the higher priced Samsungs have the shiny screen, but not this one. Something else that is easy to check out at your local electronics store. C-NET is great for reviews that look for these factors.

Thanks for your answer, JD! I thought so. Oh, I saw it at Best Buy--I was SO impressed with it. I wasn't even thinking Samsung until I saw it. Samsung has really outdone themselves with this one, I think! I haven't even read of any major problems with it yet, so that's encouraging! Keep me updated and let me know if there are any little bugs with the TV.

I'm not familiar with that particular model (The 4096), but the LNS series has been replaced by the LNT series. From what I have heard through extensive research, the LNS line had clouding on dark backgrounds, a problem shared with the Sony LCDs, since they use the same exact image panel.Keep in mind that this is a fantastic deal on the 4061 currently on Amazon. Go to a brick and mortar store and it will be several hundred dollars more. I think you are probably spot on with your assessment of the situation regarding the price. I just purchased the LNT-4061 today after extensive research, and here's hoping it's not too good to be true.

When they mention glossy in the video they are talking about the stand and frame. I think that is what you are referring to. The screen itself is not a glass covered gloss type screen.

I do not like the term Matte screen because it implies that the screen on the 630 is not clear but hazy or something.The 630 has a clear panel and the 650 has a ultra clear panel.If you look at the samsung web site is says a Ultra clear panel "Absorbs aimbiet light and virtually eliminates reflections" this makes it sound like it is not high gloss which is the reverse of everyone telling you it is a high gloss screen.The probem comes from the fact the contrast ratio is 80,000 to 1 on the 630 and 100,000 to 1 on the 650.This is a 25% higher number which means that the light and dark colors will have more" contrast".A mirror is just a piece of glass coated with a relaective surfuce on one side.The thicker the coating the more the mirror will reflect.If you are willing to spend the money for the 650 I would not worry about the so called high gloss screen.Maybe if you watching it outdoors or in a room that you can't control the light but this will not be a probem for most home use.

This has a matte panel, or semi-matte. For the clear panel, you need to get the ln40b640 (exclusive to bestbuy) or the ln40b650. Each one is about $100 more than the last.

The one I got is for Galaxy S4.. I got the mate finish, then I didn't like it because it was a little rough under my fingers. So, I replaced it with ultraHD which I am still using right now. I have no idea if they have matte for S3.. I hope this helps.

Hey Jwag, did you get the TN-T2653H by any chance? I just got it a couple days ago, I also noticed the high pitched noise, and it seemed to be related to how bright the screen was (ie. when programs showed bright shots and when the backlight setting was set to 10). Did Samsung tell you anything relevant?

According to cnet.com, Samsung's 5 Series TVs have a matte screen, unlike the glossy screens on the 6 and 7 Series TVs (not sure about the 8 and 9 Series TVs).
