I'm looking to buy two new LCD monitors. I was just wondering if anyone knew what the glossy-type finish was called. I know most LCD's have that hazy/fuzzy finish. It makes buying a monitor online difficult because I can't tell whether it's glossy or hazy from the pictures. One guy at Fry's told me it was called opticlear, but I think he's wrong.

So any help would be appreciated :)

Usually -

Glossy = TrueBrite/Truelife
Matte = dull finish

For LCD monitors, I beleive they are all matte finish. I have 3 Dells and they are all matte. Ive never seen a glossy/TrueLife in an LCD - only on notebooks

Thanks alot.

I have seen a few glossy LCD's at electronic stores and anytime I ask an employee I always get a different answer, so..
