is it glossy or matte?

That picture is of the back side. The screen looks like any normal screen, glossy and glass-like. I have purchased x2 now and they work great.

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."

I would say more of a matte finish. Good quality. Got mine in September still works great.

Hey Vanessa, it has a glossy finish. Honestly, I find that it shows more smudges and reflections. I have the HD, but would get the standard one if I were to do it again. Other than this, the product performs really well though.

I would call it glossy. However it is really clear. I did not realize how dull the matte one I had before really was...

It's matte. It makes a sound but it is smooth and you can clearly see a picture if you were to put it in the back of your phone. :)

Actually, semi-glossy. It's not fully glossy nor matte. It's kinda a hybrid between them. So clarity isn't a problem, and you shouldn't experience too much glare or reflection either.

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

It's definitely more of a matte finish. . .no problems with reflective glare.

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.

I would describe it as a horizontal brushed metallic black just like it looks in the photo. It is not glossy in the sense of polished, but has a metallic shine to it when hit by light at the right angle. It is closer to matte than glossy overall.

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.

It is glossy, however I haven't had any issues with glare as the screen is bright enough when it is on I don't notice it!

Mine is very glossy, and prone to picking up fingerprints. The glossiness makes it easy to clean, though. Just wipe it off!

It is definitely not a matte finish; tape appears glossy to me. It is the same package and tape sold in office store- only cheaper here.

Not glossy, more so matte. When you look at your screen from an angle or when it's off, you can tell there's a screen protector (which really isn't that big of a deal, of course); however, when it comes to actually using and looking at the screen, you can't really tell there's something there, so it's good from that perspective. Worth it.

It is somewhere in between matte and glossy. It has excellent anti-glare characteristics.
