I find it annoying how manufacturers don't say if the monitor will be matte or glossy. I just bought a DELL monitor from their official site and there was no mention if it was matte or glossy. It arrived and it was glossy

Anyways, I'm in the market for a nice 24" glossy LCD monitor

BUDGET:
$500-$700

USE:
Photoshop first, then gaming

Thanks :D

All glossy 24" right now, are TN panels.

Not all of them. The 24" iMac uses an H-IPS panel, the same one in the NEC 2490WUXi. All other 24" glossies being TN would surprise me though, there aren't glossy 24" MVA panels out there?
 
I was at Microcenter the other day and now they sell a protective film you put on your LCD panel and it makes it glossy, while reducing the chance of damaging the original screen beneath it. I'm not sure how it sticks on but it says it won't damage the original surface. Also it said some stuff about more vivid colors. They had sizes up to 24-inch widescreen.

But the matte layer is still there, so it kind of defeats the purpose.

About the iMac screen, I have yet to see one, and have yet to see evidence it is an IPS.
 
My friend's room-mate has the 24" imac.. the screen is ... really really nice. I'd be surprised if it wasn't an IPS. The glossy really adds a nice touch to it.

Wasn't there a gateway 24" pva or mva a couple months ago that had a glossy screen?

To quote what I said above, "The 24" iMac uses an H-IPS panel, the same one in the NEC 2490WUXi". Yeah, it is a great display with the most recent IPS panel on the market right now. IMO it is better than the standalone Cinema Displays. Those things really need an update.

It would be nice if they offered matte as an options with the iMacs but I'm still cool with it. :)
 
Seeing as how HP and DELL's main consumer line is glossy, and Apple went the glossy route with their iMacs, it appears that glossy is the future!

(so many laptops these days are glossy)
 
So right now we have a choice between the glossy HP, Gateway, and Dell? All of which are TN?
