Plasma Deposition coating is an anti-glare treated edge-to-edge glass fused to glossy IPS panels, and is the clearest, most vibrant and least reflective glossy coating. However, PDC is not flaw-less since the glass can be chipped and broken, and because PDC coated monitors have a glass covered black bezels which vastly reduces the perceived black depth. The perceived black depth can be increased with bias lighting (light placed behind the display) or by placing non-stick silver tape tape on the black bezel.
Two years ago I bought a Planar PXL2790MW with a broken panel and put a spare PDC coated panel from a Korean monitor (Crossover 27QW HDMI) in, and used grey duct tape to hold it together, and vastly improve the perceived black depth.
Planar PXL2790MW photo gallery. The panel I put in the Planar was not as accurate, so I was only able to achieve either 2.1 average gamma (resulting in slightly washed out color and shades) with the 2.2 menu setting or 2.3 average gamma (resulting in slightly too dark color and shades) with the 2.4 Gamma menu setting versus the nearly perfectly linear 2.2 gamma of the Nixeus and original Planar.
Compare the plasma deposition coated panel in the Planar to many others all brightness matched and menu calibrated with a colorimeter in my
The Order 1886 Comparison Gallery. Here are examples of each time of coating:
