Does the screen have a glossy finish and reflect the light in the room, or is it anti glare?

The screen has a non-reflective face. I see no difference in the image if the ceiling light is on or off. I have a desk lamp in front and to the right of the monitor. The lamp has no effect on the image.

It is anti glare, non shiney. Very nice monitor, excellent deal for the money.

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.

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

It is a non-glossy, matte screen, which is usually what people refer to as anti-glare. However, I prefer the glossy screens because they look sharper.

Definitely not glossy. The picture is fantastic and adjusts to varying light in the room.

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

It is glossy, however I haven't had any issues with glare as the screen is bright enough when it is on I don't notice it!

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'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.

The small black plastic border around the outside is definitely glossy and reflective, but the screen is not. I have 2 27" screens and the only slight reflection I get is on the top monitor because the ceiling light bounces directly off of it due to the height. My point is, unless you have a light aiming directly at the screen, there is no glare. Matte

the screen is not glossy. yes it is matte, only thing is that when the sun is hitting the screen and you are watching a movie/video that some parts are dark, you have to use your body to block the in order to see the dark parts of the video, or close the curtains.

It is an excellent display screen. Perfect for viewing graphics. It is anti-glare. Don't know what you mean by glossy??

The "glare" (or reflection) is pretty minimal unless the room you're viewing it in is super-bright (as in tons of artificial lighting) or extremely sunny (as in a wall of windows with direct sunlight coming through it). Otherwise it's not a big deal. You can deal with it simply enough by adjusting the screen brightness in the display menu, or pull the curtains or shades closed. Considering the quality of the picture and the price it's no big deal to live with.

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.

I'm not sure I fully understand the distinction, but I would say there is nothing glossy about it. I see very little glare. The display seems more subdued or muted.

Marie, The screen on my 65" Sharp T.V. has a glossy finish to the screen. It does reflect light but it also has the best picture quality I have ever seen on a T.V.

It is slightly glossy but appears to have an anti-glare coating. I don't have a lot of light in front of it so reflections aren't bad.
