Matte or glossy? What is the finish on the bevel?I hated all the sets from 2008-2010, due to the stupid fingerprint magnet glossy plastic around the screen ...

Why are you touching the bevel? I think the screen is matte. I kinda wish it was glossy.

matte screens tend to diffuse and scatter the light to reduce glare and thats the reason lose their crispness. you cannot have it both ways.you have to chose one :crispness "pop up" look VS glare.

The matte finish gives the image a dull look. The crispiness goes away. check out the stores.

The bezel is glossy and will show fingerprints. The screen has a slight matte finish, but it isn't noticeable under normal viewing. I'm surprised that even though this isn't a 3D set, there is a definite sense of depth when watching certain movies.

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.....

The Pavillion I got has a matte finish. I did not notice any 'reflectiveness' on the keys, which would imply a gloss finish. I have another HP laptop without a 10 key but this keyboard has 10 key and the locations feel quite different and it takes time to adjust to it.

The bezel is neither. The bezel has a bumpy finish on top of a shiny finish. The net effect is that the bezel has a bit of a shine to it without being a finger print magent and doesn't have distracting glare. The screen itself has a slightly matte finish. The screen is glossier than the 6 year old Sharp Aquos it replaced, but it's not super glossly like some Samsung displays I've seen in the past. My viewing area has windows and lamps and the glare hasn't been distracting. Viewing TVs in a showroom, the finish on this screen is just like all other TVs offered at this time. I was concerned about this myself and I am happy with the finish on the screen. The picture still pops even though it doesn't have a super glossy screen.

I don't have any experience with the matte, but I have no complaints bout the clear one. Haven't had any problems with glare, etc.

The matte display is fine. They are not glossy at all. A very good monitor for this price point.

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.

Hello,These particular screen protectors will be more glossy than having a matte finish. I still recommend them to anyone but it will become slippery once you touch it enough, only due to your fingers releasing oil. But you can always wipe it off for better results.- Louis

Matte finish vs Glossy finish! You can have that ACER with its glossy screen, the glare is horrible! I'll take the trade off of less vivid colors!I love mine! I think the sound is appropriate for the small speaker system. I am personally happy with the display and I've used both the ASUS and ACER. That ACER looks deceptively great until you start using it and the glare drives you crazy.

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.

Personally I vastly prefer the "matte" (ie regular) screen. Really bright and nice looking, with no glare...although as so-called "glossy" screens go Apple's are good.

This one is not matte/anti-glare - this is the glossy one. I prefer the clear, glossy ones because I will need to set the display brighter since the matte film blocks part of the light and I cannot read/see from the display that well, resulting in faster drain of my battery - *just from experience*

Matte. I really like it. Very little glare or fingerprints. Best I've found.

The finish is matte.I tossed the item.It was tooooo thick for the functionality you are accustomed to with a naked screen.

I prefer the matte as it enables me to enjoy the outdoors and work outside. It's the only reason I have not upgraded. So with that said how is it outdoors? My 2 is easily viewed outdoors.

It has a matte finish (not shiny). It's not overly grippy like my last one, but I actually prefer that because you can get it in and out of your pocket easier and it's not covered in dust. It's a nice case.
