Another question about outdoor viewing, is the screen considered a 'matte finish' where it does not reflect?

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.

I've never had that problem with my Thinkpad however I seldom use it outdoors.

It does reflect. The brighter the screen the more you can see in bright light. It also helps to keep a cloth around to clean the screen.

No, I wouldn't call it a "matte" finish. But it isn't objectionable outside.

No the screen is not matte finish, it has a very good picture and I am very satisfied with the computer

I would order the clear one if you want it to look as if there is nothing on the screen. The matte finish - the one I purchased - is definitely visible in my opinion.

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".

I don't quite understand what you're saying. When the tv is off I'ed say the screen is matte and the frame around the tv is glossy

Marie, The screen on my 65" Sharp T.V. has a glossy finish to the screen. It does reflect light but it also has the best picture quality I have ever seen on a T.V.

To correct the previous answers...the screen ITSELF is a matte display...however with the touchscreen overlay it will still appear as glossy. So it depends on how you look at it. Figuratively speaking.

Mine is clear and it's fine. Matte seems to take away from the crispness of the screen.

Not sure I understand the question. The screen looks like any other I have used. The material around the screen is shiny but the screen itself is matte.....

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.

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.

I took the plastic off of mine. It is a matte finish. It is not that shiney black. But looking at my regular TV it is the same. I love the picture and feel this was a really good monitor.

Its not a matte finish, but its not overly reflective either. We have had no issues with glare.

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.

Yes it is a true matte finish with no shine ... I'm pleased with having it on my screen!

The screen is glossy but I do not have a problem with shadows or reflection. It is a great Screen. I think it is wonderful!
