If you are a girl and can put your mascara on by using your computer screen - then you have a glossy one.

If you are a boy and can put mascara on in the same way, then you have the glossy screen, but you also have another problem then :-)

work near a window in your house, with your back facing the window....... the glare on the screen should be much more annoying on a glossy screen than on a regular one.
