Is this screen matte or glossy? Is the XVT3D554sv screen matte or glossy? What about the XVT3D474sv?

I just got off the phone with Vizio's customer service. According to the person I spoke to the screen is matte. Who's correct, Vizio's customer service rep or the postings? I'll wait until I physically see the TV for myself.I appreciate your help.

I watched the 554sv from every angle at Costco. The reflection of the overhead lights was crystal clear on this unit (as were most of the other 55" lcds) - i.e. very reflective. The 553 was slightly more matte finish so somewhat more "blurry" reflection of the overhead lights. The only one that was really matte (including Sony and Samsung as well) was the cheapest Vizio (can't recall the model number but was sub $1000 price) but it's over all picture was pixelized on motion so unacceptable to me. I'm still looking.

Thanx Khouper. I'm very disappointed to here this. I was led to believe that the XVT3D554sv was indeed a matte screen. It seems that the newer 50 in and above LCD's and LED's don't have matte screens anymore. Unfortunately my TV will be facing a window and a light source. Any suggestions?

I purchased the 553 after seeing it next to the 554. I am very happy with the 553 matte screen. The reflection on the 554 made it unwatchable for me. My biggest gripes with the 553 are the non-functioning USB ports and no DNLA support.

Higher Hz, a newer model, 3-D and the reviews of the 553sv mentoned Blooming. I was hoping that Vizio worked out this kink.

I chatted with vizio. They said it was a matte screen. However, according to a review here, the screen is glossy. Since I need a matte screen I'll wait for it to be in the store to see for myself. $2000 is too much to order blind.

Well, is there a reason that you want the 554sv over the 553sv (which has a matte screen)?

Gman, the screen is glossy for the XVT3D554sv and XVT3D474sv. Confirmed through Vizio chat and personal observation. AVSforum users have also confirmed this.

Just recieved ours a week ago and it has a matte screen. I totally forgot that it never asked for my preference when I was ordering! So I think you are right, Amazon doesn't offer the glossy.I personally like the matte better, less annoying reflection, though I've heard the glossy screens have better color, personal preference.

I believe it is a glossy screen, but I have no idea how it compares to a Viewsonic. At the time I bought it, it was the cheapest 27inch TV I could find. I am using it on a wall in the basement in front of a treadmill, so picture quality was not high on my list. It looks pretty good though.

There are multiple versions of screens on this Product Line. There is a matte version which is Full HD IPS but is not a touch screen. My model has a gloss screen, but not overly so. It too is Full HD IPS but supports touch which was key for me in making the move to Windows 8. AFAIK, Amazon is selling the Glossy/Touch version.

It seems to be glossy, but this screen has 5 or 6 brightness settings to choose fromPs.This is an excellent monitor!!

It is glossy. I think the brighter the picture needs a glossy screen, it reflected so bad though I returned it. However, I bought a Samsung and its gloss screen is just about as bad, even though both have great pictures.

This monitor is not glossy (I wish it was). It has a very light anti-glare matte screen (what some might call "semi-glossy"). Technical review sites like www.pcmonitors.info rate it at 15% haze factor, so it is lighter and clearer than modern lightly-coated IPS panels at 18% (and much lighter than older panels at 25%), but not as light and clear as Samsung's semi-glossy coating of 13% haze factor.

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.

This screen appears to be the matte version, since the connector is at the very bottom of the screen towards the right side. The 40-pin connector on the glossy version is located about 1.5"-2" from the bottom of the screen and towards the left side. (Dell own website specifies their glossy screens have left connectors). Make sure you can see a clear pic of the back of the screen and not trust what the listing says. I've seen plenty that say "glossy" or "left connector" and it's on the right just like this one.

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.

Not glossy. Not true matte but more of a satin finish. Doesn't seem to glare though. My wife uses it as a second screen for graphics design and likes it very much.

It is a non-glossy, matte screen, which is usually what people refer to as anti-glare. However, I prefer the glossy screens because they look sharper.

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!

Are you sure? I thought Amazon only sold the matte screen version even for the previous model. I don't expect they will ever offer the new model with a glossy screen here.

Hi Thank you for your interest. It's glossy screen like Apple cinema display. Thanks.

I was at Best Buy today and asked about the matte screen. The B750 does not have a matte screen. That would be a great feature -- especially in a bright room.
