O.P. High Gloss -> Yes or No?
Well I've been wanting to get a monitor for a long while now. I finally decided to get one next week, the question is; which?

I wanted to go with a Samsung (I heard a lot of good reviews, and my LCD tv just makes me want to stick with that brand) and I wanted a 22". So I checked the web and noticed that this particular panel was being suggested by every single review I've read :

Now browsing on the FutureShop site, I saw this other panel;

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?l...0FS10093981&catid=

which seems to be equals in spec, but has one single difference : the "high gloss". At first I thought it was the black frame that was glossy, which it is and I love, but by going to see it in person, I noticed the screen had this laptop glossy screen (which reminds me most new laptop don't seem to have anymore.. hype seems to be done).

Now to be honest, I really love the gloss's shape. It looks just like a mini-tv and I love that about it. The panels have a 20$ difference (gloss is 340 compared to the first one ast 320) yet, the glossy display worries me..

I wanted to get your point of view on the matter. I am going to watch dvd and also play a few games, so that would make the gloss very useful I guess, but what about the rest? Should I stick with the normal panel for standard programming and productive work?

I'd really appreciate your opinions. Thank you.
