Viewing Angles & AH-IPS Glow

The 25f offers the same viewing angles as its predecessors, and most other budget 1080p IPS/PLS.  The viewing angles are only a problem if the monitor is set to low, or looked down at or viewed from above like so:

The top of AHVA/IPS/PLS panels need to line up or be higher than the viewers eyes to eliminate glow. The top left image shows the correct way to view an AHVA/IPS/PLS panel. and is also ideal for keeping proper posture and not hunching:

AH-IPS Glow

Glow is not a problem unless trying to look down at, or view the monitor from above, which is the incorrect way to view an AHVA/IPS/PLS panel.  The 25f suffers from the same amount of glow as its 2015 and 2016 predecessors from HP, and slightly more glow than the higher end HP 24 Envy from 2017.
