The field looks to have a rly glossy finish, and would seem distracting with glares and reflections, is that the case? Is it as glossy as pics look?

It's a little glossy but it hasn't been a distraction at all. It's in a well lit room we are using it in our office No one using it has had any complaints

It has some glossiness to it but I have never had problems with glares and reflections.

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.

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 can only speak for myself, but I really don't care for the glossy screens. I have one on my Dell laptop and it looks great in perfectly controlled lighting; However, it is very reflective and I find myself adjusting the screen angle more than I would like. I am also looking at this monitor, which looks like a good deal, but I think I'll go with a matte screen.

It is a matte finish but it has a little glossiness to it. I can see my reflection in it which is the only thing that bothers me about it.

It's not like a glossy paper or a glossy photo. It's not completely matte either though. It has some type of coating. But I use glossy paper all the time and this is not.

It looks glossy when it's off but I haven't had any reflective issues. I still love this machine and haven't found any cons about it!

Hi, it is shiny (glossy). I do prefer flat (matte) myself so that you don't get that glare. But, it is not super glossy on some laptops. This laptop is ok.

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.

Its a semigloss screen, but after I have had another tv that was glossy, this one looks/feels like a matte finish to me. My tv faces my backdoor, and if the sun is shining directly through, I get some glare of course, but I don't think that could be helped. Great tv.

I believe it to be a matte screen; it has no glare or reflection. I have used it in fluorescent office light and natural light, quality barely changes. I hope this helps.

It is more of a matte vs glossy. Background reflection is minimal. Is a good monitor.

The photo comes out glossy. My wife loves this print setup, although it's a little on the pricey side.

The screen is definitely glossy and has a reflective surface. It is not a matte screen (like the Kindle Paperwhite--for example--has) and I can see reflections clearly in it. However, the display is sharp and readable to me. On average, I spend 3 or 4 hours a day looking at the screen and the reflectiveness does not bother me.

Very glossy. It reflects lamps and window. It's a drawback, but your brain filters it out after a while.

I have had no problem with glare, I have only used it indoors so I can't say what it would be like outside. I would think it would be fine.
