I will take aggressive AG over glossy any time, and I am not the only one that has said so.

I was thinking of going for the U3011, but if the AG coating on it is has bad as on the U2412M, I don't want it.
Clearly you missed the point.
I shall refrase it: no one pick an aggressively AG coated monitor over the same model with with light AG if given the option.
BrePu,
I know it very well, both from photo lenses and glasses. All I can say is that you haven't seen what a dirt magnet is until you've used glasses with this type of coating. It is literally impossible to keep the glasses spotlessly clean for more than a few hours. Furthermore, once they get really dirty, it is a PITA to clean them again.
The DELL U3011 has one of the most aggressive AG coatings I have ever seen. Whites look very dirty on the display, and I RMAed my U3011 immediately because of this.
Then it musn't be exactly the same coating used on photo lenses and glasses. Then again, you are more sensitive to dust/dirt if you are looking through things, like glasses, instead of just staring at them. I miss my old Samsung's coating. At the time (2004) most screens were matte without going to these extremes. Sometimes things don't evolve for the best.
What we need is better anti-reflective technology, which absorbs ambient light instead of dispersing its reflection.
Every CRT I owned had some sort of anti-glare coating on it. Sony's Trinitron CRT monitors were really effective at reducing glare. Most of the glossy LCD screens I've seen looks like a mirror, which I can't stand.Are glossy LCD monitors comparable to CRT monitors?
I can't recall anybody ever testing LCDs for flickering. You don't happen to have any pointers?
my love?XOR is just trying to convince you to buy a U2410 and justify his love for wide-gamut monitors.
but that might not be the case soon as I'm about to change it to RGB-LED + A-TW + custom gamut emulation monitor

LG W2420R http://www.lg.com/global/products/display/monitor/LG-graphic-W2420R.jspWhat monitor is that?
I found it in good price and cause it's superior to every other 24" LCD so I just couldn't resist myself to buy it

isn't this one of three wide-gamut monitors with A-TW and the only one without nasty dithering?Who told you that?
it's worse:Thanks for the info. However, according to Prad,the Eizo GC243W is better, albeit more expensive.

other screens with that panel are HP LP2480zx and Quato IP240ex LED
I hope AG coating will be less grainy, but it's not priority for me and it wasn't reason why I bought it in the first place. I found it in good price and cause it's superior to every other 24" LCD so I just couldn't resist myself to buy it With FW900 and W2420R on desk waiting for OLED will be much easier
