The 5K iiyama XB2779QQS (Europe only) and Planar IX2790 (US only; I tested one) and imacs are the only displays with PDC in production still, and both the iiyama and Planar are 60hz monitors with a 28ms delay, and use native DCI-P3 panels which over-saturate SDR (HDTV/REC 709 & sRGB) color by 35% if not used with graphics cards (AMD cards have a Radeon Control panel setting), operating systems (Mac), or programs (Photoshop) which support color management.  There are no glossy monitors above 1080p right now either, and there <5 1080p glossy options.

It may be possible to buy the semi-glossy Dell S2718D from 2018 in Europe, but it looks grainy when viewed slightly off angle.

I also want a glossy high hz monitor for gaming, but they don't exist.

do you have more photos

I have a Crossover 2755AMG and an album of Planar PXL2790MW photos I took a few years.  The Planar can be compared to multiple other types of coatings in my Destiny Red Titan, The Order 1886 Lights Off and Lights On albums.  It appears brighter since it has a high minimum brightness of 170cdm/2 (the other monitors are set to 140cdm/2), and it has silver duct tape on it since I had to put a new panel in it.
Thank you for the answer ;) .
5K is a bit too much (1080p would be enough for me :D ) and the Dell S2718D seems too glossy for me (PDC seems glossy but without reflections, if that makes sense xD ).


Could you, please,  share the  "<5 1080p glossy options" just to check videos (if you don't have the list, don't worry, i'll try to search myself).


Thanks for the photo albums, i'll save them as i will try to identify possible PDC monitors, just on photos or videos.


Also, by looking at this video of the HP 25f (https://www(.)youtube.com/watch?v=EBv5DYqoW54)  i "feel" it simillar to PDC, can it be something inbetween or ... ? (looks pretty clean, right?) I was going to get it to try but unfortunatelly 25f is not available and the 27f seems to have a very different coating by looking at their sides ( https://www(.)youtube.com/watch?v=yvuoihFS22U) .
Maybe asking HP could tell me similar models, but usually they know even less that me :D .


If i can't find any to try i will convince myself that i would have hated these xD (although now i'm using a bad old CRT and i like it "more", despite its problems, than new monitors :D ).


Thanks for your help, if i ever can find something, as you like these too, i'll share here ;) .


P.S. Sorry had to break the youtube links because i could not make them show as links :) .
