Not laptop ones.. which are easy to find. But proper 23" plus TFTs... I can't seem to find any - lots with Glossy bezels but not Glossy panels.


Any ideas ?
 
They are very, very rare. Personally I love them and the reflections are worth it for the lovely shinyness. You should look at HP's w2448hc and the rest of HP's w2xxx series.

Do bear in mind though that they're expensive for TN panels (which iirc they all use) and you might be better off just getting a PVA or IPS panel.

i just sold a Packard Bell Maestro 24" is that what you mean by glossy?

unless you have a dark place with no sun near it i wouldnt bother, it was a nice screen but struggled with the reflections and light on it.
 
What's the point in a glossy panel, only looks better while it's switched off? You want to stare at your monitor while it's switched off?:confused:
 
Oh now come on that's a bit missleading I think.

If it's got a TN panel it's already not awesome, but having only a VGA input as-well ...wow ...I think our definitions of awesome are a very long way apart here.

A 22" glossy TN panel that doesn't even have a digital input, I have to say it's highly likely to be crap if anything. If that Samsung is awesome, what does that make the Dell UltraSharp U2711 ? ...I think we would have run out of any superlatives to accurately describe it.
