tempered glass or matte for QNIX QX2710

[cannondale06]

I had bought a 144hz Asus VG248QE but overall was not impressed. other than 144hz, it was still TN garbage and no better than my 5 year old Dell S2409W.


I am now looking seriously at the QNIX QX2710. the glossy option is out because I cant stand that. I see they have a tempered glass option though and I have never heard of that. I tried to google and really did not come up with much. what are the pros and cons of tempered glass and how is compared to matte?

I've owned the glass Samsung 9710D & Dell S2740L & seen the ACD many times. Tempered glass is a cruel joke & should never be used on monitors IMO

Left glass vs. right semi-glossy (same-ish coating as matte Qnix/X-Star)

get the matte version. The glossy versions reflect too much. The matte has excellent colors and it's a very light AG

at the OCN thread 70 got glossy, 192 got matte and 1 got tempered glass

Glass is nasty unless you are ok with gray blacks and looking at a mirror.

The crossover black tune models use a new kind of glass (plasma deposition coating) which is less reflective than tempered glass but still worse than normal glossy coatings. Source: I own a Crossover 2755AMG
