is this monitor's screen glossy or matte?

Matte. I've *never* had any problem with glare, but then I don't have any lights above or behind me either.

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.

the screen is matte... I LOVE it and have been using it for about 3 months now.

It s matte, I dont think you will find the glossy display outside of the 120hz 3d display. Note this did not come with any operating system or product key either.

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town. The screen looks kinda like a matte surface. It is not what I consider to be a glossy. I have had this screen for about a year and it works just fine. Thanks!

Glossy - great monitor but will reflect so you have to consider where you place it

I'm not sure, but it is 'glossy', which is what I prefer. This absolutely the best monitor I have ever purchased. No dead pixals, no bleeding. The price is unbelievable for the quality. I did not ask for special shipping and was told at order time it could be one to two months, but I got it in three days. The stand is not real strong, but I don't move mine around, so it works fine for me. I do software development and there is no question that it paid for itself in improved productivity in the first 30 days.

It's glossy. Just like the apple 27" cinema displays. I have 3 of them in my photography studio. They are awesome and a great value!

Matte, be careful when you order as I needed the glossy one as well and I ordered the wrong one. It still works it is just not as clear as the old screen, but its a back up laptop so it doesn't matter to me.

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.

The screen does not reflect so guess it is glossy. It has a fixed slight tilt.

I believe glossy. When the computer is turned off the black screen reflects much like a mirror.

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.

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

The one I got was glossy. Looked better than the original. Unfortunately my computer got stolen and I ended up having to buy a entire new Toshiba. lol

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.

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.
