It is a matte screen. Terrific monitor. I sent the first one back because of a huge white spot in the middle of the screen. Amazon was great in sending out a replacement which is a great monitor.

The screen is matte. The advantage of having this monitor is that the color does not change by the angle of viewing. For me that was a big plus as I frequently get up from the table to view the screen from a distance. I also like the outstanding resolution. Hope that helps.

Nope not glossy. No thick anti glare coating either that you will find on the Dells.

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 have had both the glossy and the matte screens. As long as you don't have light directed towards the glossy screen then I think that you should enjoy it. Many people are overstating the negatives of this monitor.

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.

It's matte. There's no glare. I have had mine for about 4 or 5 months now and it works awesome. Side viewing is excellent. For the money there is no better monitor out there at this time. The only weak point is the monitor speakers, but I know of no monitor speakers that sound any good. I use my own speaker system. This monitor performs very well in all types of different lighting.

Mine appears to be more of a glossy screen. I love it! The only bad thing is there is no DVD/CD drive, so keep that in mind.

Great question, I own two of them and they are matte. Works as well as you can expect in a Sunlit room. Works even better when used facing a darker seating area with light coming from rear of monitor - instead of on the screen itself. Screen lighting option lets you tune screen for best view.

It is glossy. I think the brighter the picture needs a glossy screen, it reflected so bad though I returned it. However, I bought a Samsung and its gloss screen is just about as bad, even though both have great pictures.

The screen is a matte finish, not nearly as glossy as a plasma or a high contrast LCD. Resolution is decent, but is definitely a matte finish, no gloss.

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

brother or sister, the screen is matte, not glossy. i ordered this notebook a little while ago and it just arrived today, best decision [in regards to electronics] i have ever made, ever. i owned four windows notebooks before purchasing this one, and using this notebook [and mac os] actually simulates the feeling of "a breath of fresh air".

No it is not glossy, I really do like this monitor, the only negative that I have found is to turn the monitor on or off, the button(s) are located under the screen, and I have to keep pushing from the underside of the screen, and I am concerned that the monitor will start to "lean" to the side after prolonged use. But that still does remain to be seen. I hope this is helpful to you

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!!!!

Hard to answer......the edges are glossy - the screen when off is matte finish. When turned on, the picture is clear and crisp. We love it and have no complaints.
