If you can put it somewhere where it wont reflect anything then I love them

My HP laptop is glossy. Picture quality is awesome but it gets very grubby!

Yep agree, a pleasure to use, but they can get grubby so need to be cleaned often.

It really depends because some are a LOT more reflective than others.

I bought a LG 15.4" 1440x900 glossy laptop screen and you'd have to be in very bright place and be displaying a dark colour to get much reflection.

However... I bought another one (I don't know what make unfortunately) but it was also 15.4" 1440x900 glossy and no matter what colour was on the screen it was like looking into a mirror, I couldn't work on it at all and had to return it.

I am still deciding on a laptop but I bought the OCUK VAlue 24" monitor a while ago and the original one was a very shiny screen. I rather liked it and where it was on my desk it didn't have reflection problems. It had to be replaced as it was a TN Film screen but *** shininess was fine.
