is the exterior & back of this monitor silver? Similar to Mac's.

the stand is silver both front and back. The back of the screen is black. The front of the screen has a silver strip along the bottom and narrow black edges on the sides and top. I think it is very nice.

Yes, I believe it is but I do not use it that way. All in all I have been extremely satisfied with this monitor.

This macbook has an antiglare screen. Glossy macbook has a product # begining with Z0DR. Hope that helps.

It is the same color. Each computer screen shows colors differently so I can't say it is "exactly".

The outside is silver. When you open it up, the inside (the keyboard and the frame around the screen) is black.

No, it's painted aluminum or anodized. It's more grey looking than silver. Hope that helps.

I have had this monitor since the beginning of August. I have it connected to a Mac-book Pro. Thunderbolt to Display-port. I would rate this a 5 star monitor. I use it for editing video (I am an amateur). I have no issue with the aspect ratio. I usually have my laptop screen closed.

It was this display or the Apple display for me. I even considered buying a 27 inch iMac to replace my MacBook, but I purchased this screen for around $600 less than the apple screen at the time, and I have not regretted it one bit. I am a Mac guy, but this screen is absolutely brilliant. Like another reviewer said, it would be worth the cost at twice the price; but I don't want Asus getting any ideas!

As far as I can tell it is a true black, it is better than the 24" Dell monitor that I have. I am really surprised (happly that is) by the quality of this monitor, especially at this price.

I would say my MB168B+ has a matte finish. I gave one to a buddy of mine and he loved it. He uses his on a Mac and I use it on a PC.The cover works as a stand .... but not all the well. I picked up a iPad/tablet stand that works better. Also the contrast ratio isn't all that great. But it is the best option for a portable monitor that is smaller and lighter than a traditional monitor.I also recommend picked up a USB 3.0 Y-cable which will power it from two USB port. This helps with heavy graphics or video. It will ficker if you try to watch videos with the included standard USB 3.0 cable. I would say my MB168B+ has a matte finish.

Personally, I think it's gorgeous. Crystal clear for sure. No JPEG-type compression shading issues, very accurate color. I do professional photography and the color response of this monitor is good enough to use for my printing. Very accurate, great color range. Better than my MacBook Pro built-in display.

actually on mine the keyboard and edge of the screen are black. But the the outside, top and bottom both are silver..

The one I got is grey/silver in color. Matches my apple computer nicely. I have my monitor and Bose music system on it and it is holding up vey well. No bowing in the middle.

If you are really looking for that level of detail in buying a monitor your undisputed choice should me an iMac display or a dell 30USharp. There are no other things out there that can beat that, but that being said, this monitor has all the guts needed and can draw brilliant pictures just like an apple display. There are still issues with pure black/saturation, but they are almost invincible to the naked eye, except for extremely avid photo editors. I don't know if that answers your question, but H-IPS vs S-IPS shouldn't make your mind boggle.

Sorry I have no baseline for comparison. It appeared the same as another monitor on the same computer using a standard VGA connection.

Looks matte to me although I have seen screens which have even more of a matte finish. It is certainly not glossy like a Mac screen.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but thanks for posting it. I'm looking for a great monitor for my Mac, and this is good to know. Best of luck to you!
