    not all.. a number of their Sonoma models are matte, such as the Z70 and Z33 series. It does seem that most of their models (if not all) this year, are glossy.

    Following the market's standard, alot of them will be glossy, which is, a good and bad thing for people.

    Glossy is great in a dark room, but add lights or ambient sunlight and the reflection can be troublesome to say the least :(
