IS IT A GLOSSY SCREEN OR NOT

Yes it is a glossy LED screen, identical to the screen that came with the laptop. I am 100% satisfied with it. Took me 15 min to install. No problem.

the screen is not glossy. yes it is matte, only thing is that when the sun is hitting the screen and you are watching a movie/video that some parts are dark, you have to use your body to block the in order to see the dark parts of the video, or close the curtains.

I believe it's glossy. I never got it to work (issue with ribbon cable). Decided to buy a new laptop, instead.

Not that I know of. All of the versions that I have found each has a glossy screen. On the plus side, the display is very bright and usable outdoors.

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 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

It's certainly not glossy but it does have sort of a frosted anti-glare coating which is most noticeable when you have a white background and text. If you are looking at a photo or video or a lot of color you don't see the coating but if all you were doing was typing documents all day it gives the white areas on the screen a very faint "textured effect" for lack of a better phrase. Having said all that, I personally don't mind it and I really like the monitor overall. In most cases if I find I'm noticing the coating at all, like while writing this, I just bump up the size of the type and everything is fine.

It is an excellent display screen. Perfect for viewing graphics. It is anti-glare. Don't know what you mean by glossy??

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.

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've never thought of a monitor as matte or glossy but I'd say that it's certainly not glossy. Btw, I like this laptop very much but not thrilled with Windows 8, though I am getting used to it.

Yes the screen is glossy, but so extremely sharp that it is not an issue. After buying a few as a test for our CAD operators and engineers, we ended up buying 20 because they were so well liked.

It's glossy. I have found it protects my screen very well. It went on well and did not bubble at all. Any small bubbles were gone by the next day. I had one on my old iPhone and it was still good after 2 years.

It is a little glossy but the screen is easy to see and read. I haven't had it outside in daylight so not sure what it is like there. I like it better than the screen the compaq came with , which was broken due to carelessness.I am happy with it,,, it is quite bright.very distinct images.

Yes, it is a glossy screen (which improves color perception). It does reflect light, and is best used in a dimmer room.

The screen is glossy with a glass layer. Can be very easily mistaken for a touchscreen
