Could you, please, share the "<5 1080p glossy options"
Low Haze/almost glossy HP 25 & 27er, 25 & 27es, HP 25f, and the Qnix UHD32R (order from Korea or Ebay; it looks grainy when viewed slightly off angle, has low contrast and poor, back-light bleed inducing build quality);
I tested all of them aside from the 27 versions of the er and es monitors, and they're featured in the photo albums I linked to in my last post. They're less reflective than the semi-glossy Dells and HP 24 Envy, but still very glossy.
Dell S2419H which uses the same coating as the S2718D and HP 24 Envy (discontinued)
More almost-glossy vs semi-glossy vs matte coating comparisonsThe forum only supports url shortened Youtube links for some reason.
Both Dell and HP usually sell a few glossy monitors which come out by October at the latest, so maybe consider waiting since all of the above monitors except the 25f are over 2 years old, which is the typical replacement time frame.
