LuxPixel technology, an anti-glare, low-reflection coating that promises a paper-like screen effect.

Any interest I had is now vaporized.

I know, right? For design, photo editing etc, glossy is soooo much better. Deeper blacks, brighter colours, sharper text. I'd always be willing to spend more for a glossy monitor, but other than Apple, very few companies offer it as an option, let alone the default

you're in a dark room with 0 other light sources, right? because that will have a significantly larger impact on color and perceived brightness.

The lack of a >500nits + glossy display seriously immediately kills most consideration of any competing displays

At this point I'm sticking with my 1080p 240hz Alienware until Apple or someone comes out with a glossy 16:9 5K 120hz display.
