24" none Glossy screen ?

[Steves_pc]

Do they exist?

I sit right next to a window so dont want to be looking at my reflection all day hence i'm steering away from anything with a glossy screen, unless of course anybody else is in a similar position thinks theyre not a problem being glossy.

Used for DTP/Photo/Gfx/Web, watching dvd, and a bit of gaming too of course

Most of them have matte screens; in fact it's pretty difficult to find one with a glossy screen - the only two models I know of are by HP and Dell.

When Overclockers state in the description 'glossy', they mean the bezel/stand, not the actual screen.

Hmmm, just spoke to them before posting this and the guy said they were all glossy?!

been looking at the
OcUK Value L2442WD and
Hyundai N240Wd

Not bothered about the bezel and it'll be mounted on an arm so the stand does'nt matter anyway

Well I can't speak for OCUK, but when I was in the market for a glossy 24 six months ago, they were like gold dust; and indeed, it's my perception that they're quite unpopular due to the reflection issues.

I'm glad to hear that, done a few jobs on laptops with glossy screens and didnt like them one little bit!

The L2442WD is glossy as can be seen in this thread:

Yes, it says 'glossy black' in the item title......do you think this means the screen is glossy black?

Glossy screens do seem to be in the minority.
Personally I find the ones that I've seen quite appealing in that the images look more vivid and sharp than on a matt screen monitor.
Just depends if you can find a way round the extra reflections you get with a gloss screen.

From reviews I've read the Acer G24 has a glossy screen.
