How is the touchscreen? Is it glossy or matte? Does it attract fingerprints?

Glossy. It attracts some fingerprints. However, not nearly so much as the top cover. The cover attracts fingerprints so much to be quite annoying. One cannot touch it without leaving major fingerprints.

It s matte, I dont think you will find the glossy display outside of the 120hz 3d display. Note this did not come with any operating system or product key either.

Matte, be careful when you order as I needed the glossy one as well and I ordered the wrong one. It still works it is just not as clear as the old screen, but its a back up laptop so it doesn't matter to me.

it's glossy - shiny - i like it a lot. there's one bad pixel but for the price, I don't care.

Glossy is the shiny finish and matte is a duller finish. I got the dull version because I have little kids and they play games on my phone. I figured that over time, they may scratch the case up a bit from dropping it all the time and with the matte version, you don't notice scratches as much. I am super happy with the case and have gotten so many compliments on it.

I've owned two of these computers for approximately six weeks. As far as I can tell the screen is not matte. I might add, I am very much pleased with the computer's performance - especially the extremely quick startup.

Not glossy, more so matte. When you look at your screen from an angle or when it's off, you can tell there's a screen protector (which really isn't that big of a deal, of course); however, when it comes to actually using and looking at the screen, you can't really tell there's something there, so it's good from that perspective. Worth it.

It is not matte, it is more fingerprint proof than the screen, but I would say only about a 30-40 percent more.

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!! :)

It does show fingerprints, although it may show a little less than the actual screen.I'm using swipe as I write this and the S Pen works fine.

Thanks everyone--I really appreciate your answering! A matte screen is a must have for me and they are getting very hard to find! Can't understand the attraction to those shiny reflective screens! You all have been very helpful!

It's not actually glossy. More of a brushed metallic so no, doesn't attract fingerprints.

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.

Strictly based on my experience and the seller I went through, it did shop with a matte screen. Definitely buy a mouse though... Trackpad is junk.

i guess glossy, i mean if your talking about contrast or something, its an HD screen, if your talking about the plastic its matte, almost a kevlar feel, looks cool

Yes to most of your questions. Does stay on, is anti-glare, anti-scratch, not glossy so no fingerprints and it has a good feeling. I wasn't able to get all the air bubbles out, got most of them out, but I lacked the patience to keep working on that. When it was 'good enough', I stopped. Is a great price compared to retail.
