    My GUESS is yes. Most of HP's non business laptops have glossy screens.
    If it turns out that the DV7T does not offer a glossy screen, then there are alternatives like a clear glossy screen protector.

    Well, it makes the colors a richer.
    Also edge-to-edge screens are all glossy, they can only use plastic to make edge-to-edge screens so it is always going to be glossy.

    No. It had a glossy screen. If it hadn't had a glossy screen, you could've purchased a glossy screen protector. Work on that reading comprehension, lol... :D
