I really fail to comprehend why people are even arguing here. IPS monitors have very glittery crystalline "whites". That is a fact. Whether or not someone finds it bearable is subjective, but whites do look radically different compared to a CRT or mildly coated matte monitor. The fact that professional artists are FORCED to use choose between a harsh AG display or a glossy Apple display is completely irrelevant to the discussion. Many people would like to buy a 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 matte computer monitor with backlighting like the DELL U2711 and U3011 and clean whites of the Samsung SA850. Such a product does not exist. The display industry really sucks.
