Unless you plan on only using for VGA input, do not buy this P.O.S. monitor...our replaced three times and each new one failed with the dvi going bad and taking HDMI with it

Good finish and one of the best for performance in its size and price range. I purchased two for dual screen set-up at the house. I have been using this same set up at work for more than a year and a half without any problems.

No scuff marks. Glossy finish. Less than a year, monitor failed to support HDMI output. Don't waste your $$$ on this poor quality monitor. You are better off getting the DELL S2440L. Dell S2440l ===> Beautiful and wonderful monitor!

None that I could see. So far, it has performed as advertised. Quite pleased, Neil

It was a good design, BUT it was not worth the money or the time, because it stopped working! Overall good look bad hardware.

Mine was perfect, it's been moved around a lot and still no marks are scratches.

Why are you touching the bevel? I think the screen is matte. I kinda wish it was glossy.

I'm also looking at silver Asus laptops.can anyone clarify whether the silver paint is durable? is it semi-scratch proof? if not, do you see faint gray or black lines through the white paint when you do scratch it?do the 8 edges get super scratched and you're left with gray-spotted or black-lined edges? does the silver paint looked matte when the paint is really worn or does it still look kind of glossy?Thanks !

No it looks fine. I've had mine3 yrs & it still looks good. Be sure to use the screen protector film, saves it from scratches. Just bought a new one because this one is going to wear out one of these days!

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!

It is matte and such a great, bright screen without any glare. I love it. M R

i own one and the screen is matte. i also take photos for architectural/real estate. best if you have monitor calibration tools, otherwise default color settings not that good for editing/processing. i also use my nikon tethered straight to laptop and works well. has built in sd card reader too. only downside is battery life. high performance settings will get you about 1.5hrs work time. power brick is literally a brick so not that portable. overall, very good and reliable machine. i won't replace this for a few years more even with the updated ROG models already out.

The bezel is neither. The bezel has a bumpy finish on top of a shiny finish. The net effect is that the bezel has a bit of a shine to it without being a finger print magent and doesn't have distracting glare. The screen itself has a slightly matte finish. The screen is glossier than the 6 year old Sharp Aquos it replaced, but it's not super glossly like some Samsung displays I've seen in the past. My viewing area has windows and lamps and the glare hasn't been distracting. Viewing TVs in a showroom, the finish on this screen is just like all other TVs offered at this time. I was concerned about this myself and I am happy with the finish on the screen. The picture still pops even though it doesn't have a super glossy screen.

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

Its not Glossy. But, it has a very bright display! My only downside is with the touch pad - takes some getting use to. It's not like previous Laptops. Overall a very good machine!!!!

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.

Yes the screen is glossy, but so extremely sharp that it is not an issue. After buying a few as a test for our CAD operators and engineers, we ended up buying 20 because they were so well liked.

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.

Glossy, I have some white light bleed threw but no dead pixels or yellowish tint. I love this screen.

The bezel is glossy and will show fingerprints. The screen has a slight matte finish, but it isn't noticeable under normal viewing. I'm surprised that even though this isn't a 3D set, there is a definite sense of depth when watching certain movies.
