    I really really hate glossy because it kills my eyes! I can't seem to find what kind of display it has. Is it glossy or matted?

    its glossy but the truelife screen apparently makes it less reflective

    After awhile you get use to the glossy screen (I went from a matted screen to flossy). Only issue is sunshine makes looking at school difficult.

    I really can't get used to the glossy screen, but I'm sure there are screen protectors available that will diminish the glare.
