Display Enlightment by NCX

Maybe you can find this interesting or maybe you can give me more info if you have been able to check yourself, but i'm looking the ASUS VG279QM, is pretty new so i'm looking for videos, and the coating is supposed to be matte but i find it to pretty reflective when it's showed by its sides best example .

Maybe is just the videos, but by looking at my TV LG 32LD420 (not sure what coating it has but it can be watched with light on), i find it has that kind of reflections (it is IPS and the image, although with blur, is really clean and clear).

Maybe i will try to test myself, although is a bit expensive and based on reviews the blur and backlight strobing can be bad at low FPS.

...
99.9% of monitors are matte, and I check monitor news, releases and reviews every week.  Dell and HP list their glossy-type monitors as Low Haze in the Display Features section of the specifications.

...

Eve has per-orders for 20% haze (matte are 25% haze, gloss are <2% and semi-glossy are 4-10%) monitors which are scheduled for later this year

https://evedevices.com/pages/order

Glossy monitors seem to be really reflective for me or my room, i wonder the % of the PDC or old CRTs.

About Eve, never heard about them but i wonder how 20% will be.

I'm trying to find a matte monitor with a clean and clear coating=almost impossible xD . I need one because i need a new PC too and i don't want to use the CRT i'm using right now xD . But by looking at photos or videos is hard to choose xD.

Even looking at an ASUS tuf vg279qm, or a Viewsonic XG270 that seem to be the "best" can't see if i can like them .

Thanks again .

I'll keep looking monitors at its sides to try to find a clean and clear coating (or try to find videos showing the "extreme" viewing anlges to see the coating ).

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 comparisons

The 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.

Thanks for the detailed answer.

Is a shame no more PDC are made as these glossy or semi-glossy seem too reflective for a well lit room like mine (maybe PDC are unusable here too, but we'll never know it seems ).

Just out of curiosity, do OLED TVs use PDC? They look glossy but not like mirrors. (i wonder how a TN could look on a PDC ).

Guess i'll have to wait for the October release or just search any other monitor with the less ugly coating i can find .


Thank you for the answers .

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 ) 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 .


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 ).


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 .
