Is the screen glossy or matte? It's going to be set up in an area with a lot of light.

It is not matte, it is glossy. But it is not appear to be as glossy as some other flat panels. But it is glossy.

I am not certain if it is Matte or Glossy. I can tell you that we have ours mounted on the wall in our bedroom, and when the main light is on, it does have a glare on the screen that can make it difficult to see. Once we turn down the light, or turn it off and use a lamp, the picture is excellent.

I would not recommend this if there is going to be a lot of light, but on the other hand, this item is amazing! we have ours in the bedroom with a lamp, if we turn our big light on, you can't see the tv as good....

The screen itself is not shiny. It has a matte finish. The plastic border however tends to pick up light.I've placed the Hiteker in a room that tends to get a decent amount of sun and I don't have to look around my own reflection to see the image.I've had this HDTV for a few months now and I'm still very please with it for the price.

It's glossy. I don't have problems during the day tho (my room is quite bright too) but at night I have to turn off all the lights cause the reflection is pretty strong.

Glossy. It is a very nice picture. I don't get any glare - it is set up on a corner desk away from the window. I really do like this monitor.

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

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.

Screen is not glossy, however, it looks really good. I had to turn off screen to verify what type of finish it had since the video is so clear. Just to be clear, glossy to me is it looks like glass, good shine, this screen when off looks like matte in my opinion.

The screen is not matte. My old Samsung was matte, but this one shows the glare of a light behind me in the screen.

I guess I would say glossy. I don't have any issues with glare, but I also have it in an inner room where I don't have direct light on it.

Glossy I agree with Paulo Jorge answer I use it as my home theatre not my everyday tv viewing so it's always very dark where we watch. And love by the way

I would consider it a matte screen. It's not high gloss like those old CRT monitors.

It is a matte screen, so not much glare. But any screen in certain lighting will have at least some 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!

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".

This is actually a gloss Monitor with an antiglare finish. So it's kind of right in between. The truer colors that a glossy screen can provide and not as much reflection from ambient light. However on bright screens it does have a somewhat odd pattern that is visible because of this.

I would describe it as satin, but definitely not matte. No where near as glossy as plasma screens. There are some reflections during day light hours, depending on number of windows, etc. In the evening, in a normally lit room, it blows you away with it's brightness, color, contrast and high definition - an excellent choice.

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.
