Glass ISP monitor

Hey, is there only 1 glass 27" monitor excluding the apple one? HZ27WC is all I can see.
Also does anyone have experience gaming on the Dell U2711? I'm not sure if the finish on the dell would as "crisp" as a glass panel

Thanks, Chris

yeah your only 2 glass options are the apple cinema display and the hazro mate. The dell u2711 is a good monitor, especially for build quality and features but the aggressive anti-glare coating on it makes things look very dirty and grainy. The glass panels produce a much crisper looking picture

The hazro suffers from some QC issues with dust and fingerprints under the glass IIRC.

Picture wise simply 'glossy' will be as good as good as glass. Hazro (the user) just posted they'll stop producing the glass versions as well to streamline their manafacturing process (All 27" models including the wide gamut one will have the same housing/no glass sometime soon).
The HZ27WC/WD are indeed the only options besides Apple if you're after a glossy monitor.
