Does this foam board have a glossy or matte appearance? I want it for a photo backdrop and don't want any glare.

Matte finish. Should work for your application. Get your long straight edge and Exacto knife ready.

It's not matte or glossy. It's more like a satin or semi-gloss. I've used it for a backdrop.

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's not glossy. I do a lot of papercrafting and the cardboard is fairly typical to anything you would find in poster board anywhere. It does have some type of coating on it that holds ink colors very nicely. I do a lot of stamping and use both alcohol and water based inks.

In between. I ordererd bulk for my son,...game board projects. You can find these at craft stores, Wal-Mart, etc. if you need to look at.

I would have to say a low glossy, semi matte,the ones I used on the fabric look similar to scotch tape, the rest I covered high gloss photos with so they look glossy.straight on there is no glare, but my ceiling fan light does reflect from a side view. Hope this helps.

I would consider it matte. When I hold it up in front of my face, I can barely see my own reflection. It has worked very well for me. Hope this helps.

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

Mine was glossy too. I asked them before purchasing it because I didn't want to risk getting a matte finish and they said that glossy finish were the only ones they had left then. It wouldn't hurt to check with the seller now again though I guess. I really liked my screen and the packaging was really good! Good luck!! :)

I'm not sure what you mean by "glossy", but we've been using it as a PC monitor for months, and it works just fine.

Hi, it has antiglare protection, not a glossy screen. This gives a great definition to the screen.

I would say it is in between matte and glossy. More of a "Luster", similar to photographic luster paper. There is a sheen to it, but, I don't consider it "glossy". There is also enough sheen for not to be "matte".

It is glossy, but we have it in a high light room with no visibility or glare issues.

When they mention glossy in the video they are talking about the stand and frame. I think that is what you are referring to. The screen itself is not a glass covered gloss type 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.

I would say that it is more matted than glossy because the reflection is somewhat diffused. (Try Samsung)

it is matted, but not dull like old LCD screens. The frame is glossy plastic.There is very little glare compared to a glossy screen. I am staring at the thing as I am typing. I would post a photo if I could

It is not glossy, but it is not matte either. From my experience so far, i would agree with Samsung's labeling of "low reflection."

It's glossy, not mirror like but definitely a little glossy. I know what you mean ant the matte finish. You won't get that, bit the sheildf actually provides better grip than without.

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.

Mine has a matte screen. It is the first matte screen I have had, and I love it. No glare at all.
