The screen it's self is matte and won't be too reflective, and the bezels are glossy. Very good monitor. Very happy with it.

It has a matte display. There's some reflection, but not much. I've had the laptop for a few weeks and really like it. The only thing about it I don't like is the trackpad - it's just not very responsive. But I use a full keyboard and mouse 90% of the time anyway.

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.

Since its touchscreen, it is glossy. I don't know of any laptop with a matte finish that is touchscreen. I don't think that's even possible with current technology.

Hi, The screen has a matte finish, I'm very happy with the monitor, clear image and sharp in Stereo.My only complaint would be that there is some bleed through around the edges of the screen, only visible when the screen is almost black.Under normal conditions you can't see it at all, but in some very dark game screen it show a little.I really love the 3D, I thought that I'd probably get tired of it after the novelty wore off, but I play all my games with it 90% of the time.

Glossy. I like this computer so far. Backlit keys are very nice. Key board feels good.

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.

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

The screen is matte and not glossy at all. I have bright lights directly above my screen and sit about 2 feet away from it, and there's no glare on the screen. The frame is glossy, though; the only place I notice it is at the bottom, where it's a little more than 1" wide. The frame on the top and sides is very thin and the gloss isn't noticable there. Hope this helps!

It is glossy but no too much. It is plastic and very light. I wonder how long it will last..Planed obsolescence!

Its glossy...Its like a plasma screen.... You gte some reflection from a lamp or light behind you but to me its worth it for the picture you get from this tv along with all the other features....

It is a glossy finish. I'm not sure what the resolution is, but it's comparable to the original screen in the dv7.

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.

The screen is glossy. The picture you are referencing is the back of the screen. Hope this helps.

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.
