I'm thinking of using this on an ultrabook, is the protector glossy/transparent or colored?

It's Matt finish, but transparent. I like it. Slight increase in the energy required to type each key, but fits well.

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

It has a glossy finish. It does cause some glare, but not nearly to the extent I have witnessed on Plasma Tvs. Hope that helps

Glossy finish not sure of resolution. I didn't notice much of a difference from original screen

The screen is glossy, however it's also ridiculously bright, so for most applications the lack of anti-glare is a non-issue. I haven't tested it outdoors, but I imagine that would be the one area you might have a problem.

re Geordie - me too. iLife 08 installed. Leopard, I had to install but the disk was included. Matte screen imo is better than glossy.

The original Invisible Shield is very shiny and reflective. The smudge proof version is a vast improvement, making the screen easier to see. It also really stops smudges and finger prints on the screen. I highly recommend the smudge proof version.

If you're asking about the 'Zagg Invisible shield' it is very clear with no colorization. Zagg has another series of shields under the name iFrogz which are non-glare and are a sort of matte finish.

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.

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.

the cover (the whole folder) is translucent not transparent. you can see through the color but it's not as if it's a clear plastic sheet

Give it to me then, I like pink. Just kidding.My computer is black and I got the black cover. It covers 100% of the exterior. Unless you can see pink when your computer is opened, it will cover all of the pink. It's possible you might see a little pink on the edges.

Technically glossy, but there is a coating that acts as if it were somewhat matte. Side angle is acceptable IMO. Have yet to use it in a really bright room, however I'm sure there are varying definitions of a bright room, but I wouldn't think for a netbook of this size you'd be disappointed.

I would say matte, but there are supposedly different versions of the screen. My two are matte.

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".

The screen is glossy as it is a capacitive touch screen. The glare can be pretty bad, but on full brightness the screen should always be seeable. Just don't sit with the sun over your shoulder.

It is more of a matte vs glossy. Background reflection is minimal. Is a good monitor.
