That sounds like you problem brother…

Oh shit for real?

@@basementdweller2830 Yes, I'm saying this from experience. I've done this trick a few times 10 years ago with great results. Then last year I tried it on my more modern Asus 144hz monitor and ruined it, upon further inspection of the layer it was ONE single layer. Matte finish with polarizer in one. There is a new method of buffing out the matte finish that I'm looking into now.

@@EvoPortal Any update? I was about to do this on my Lenovo G27q-20

@@KenKlejs I would do some research first before attempting this on ANY modern monitor. My Asus PG279Q uses ONE single layer for polarizer and matte finish. I ruined my monitor but I was OK and perfectly fine with buying a new monitor if didn't work. I've even taken a piece of the layer off and tried to search for a matte finish layer with a razor blade, there was NO second layer. I've done this on two other monitors in the past with success but they were 10 years old models. Manufacturers are no longer using two layers and have not been for years.

@@EvoPortal Thanks for the quick replay though. Might as well sell it instead, and save the funds towards a OLED panel with a more glossy texture then.

Yes, some people want picture quality and not let it be destroyed by a matte coating.

@@Deffine Some people (less than 10) vs millions who hate reflecting mirrorpicture. No major manufacture sells glossy any more - why, because some people is not enough to produce.

@@MrSookonn Couldnt be more wrong. Every top model TV and pretty much all high end Apple products are fully glossy. Either you are reflection phobic or you care about picture quality to use your screen in a light controlled environment.

@@DeffineAgain all lies - they are semi glossy not glossy, dont write down nonsense. Go to your local store and you find zero glossy monitors.

@@MrSookonn They aren't semi glossy. Semi glossy = reflections that are diffused to different degrees, but not defined as with glossy. You have no idea who you are talking to. I have tested monitors and TVs since 2008. Yes, most of the screens in the store are semi-glossy, but the top models are not. All mobile phones and tablets have glossy screens because you need to pixels to be clear to be able to appreciate the high PPI (pixels per inch). Let me explain to you something, this is not a matter of opinion, ignoramus. Its a matter of fact that glossy screens are clearer, with more vibrant colors and even measurably brighter on the same panel (demonstrated by measurements after removing matte coating). Matte coating destroys PQ by distorting the pixels, making for a grainy/ oily picture that is unclear, it also traps light that reduces perceived contrast. All this is a consensus by now and demonstrated many times, you just need to google to find the evidence.

@user-bh6kf9lg9m Well I don't currently have a monitor so you don't have to worry about me trying this anytime soon, used to have an old TN monitor which I gave to my dad for his setup. I'm getting by with a Samsung QLED TV for the time being. When OLED monitors become remotely affordable, I'm going for it.

me too

at 9:12 you can see that the mat foil was just put over the monitor and not attached to it, so there is a distance between the mat foil and the monitor which makes the comparisons quite useless.

if it is a plasma tv it should not have the AG coating

they have matte. Anything labeled OLED is shiny

then deal with it loser

I want to buy it and i can say you then

Yes it does dumbass maybe try it for yourself.

have you dont it? which monitor? I have an Lg27GP83 and I am wanting to do this but anot sure how to dimsantle the monitor.

@@Abrioso Yes I've done it twice. Once with a "frameless" Dell and once with a Samsung that did have a frame. The Samsung was more involved was you have to open up the case, detach some wire plugs, which will only fit one way and in one location. (easy to get back in place-or take a picture) The remove the screen panel, remove the metal frame, not as difficult as it sounds, and begin the process. I kept my screens moist for 8 hours just to make sure. He goes over how to remove the screen fame in the video. Just take your time. It will work and what a difference. I can now buy any monitor and not worry about whether it is non reflective or not. When you remove the film you'll really see how hazy the screen film is. Good luck. His directions are good. Dismantling will mean taking out screws in back of monitor and prying open the case.

@@montysonful thanks for the response man! You just pushed me to do it, I have it disassembled now and soaked, I will update in a few hours!!

@@Abrioso OK. You can do this.

@@Abrioso You should let is soak more than a few hours. As I said I waited 7-8 hours and also sprayed the paper towels as they began to dry

I keep seeing pictures and videos of people's setups where they *don't* have their backs against a windowless wall, and some of these people even have glossy displays

to be honest it doesnt even help, the glare is still there, just covering a way bigger area of your screen

Imagine buying a 4K HDR monitor and getting worse image quality than a 12 year old FHD TV.

a non-blurry image is a premium feature

Every Manufacturer: "Lets add a shitty blurry layer so you can reduce (but not completely remove) glare in lighting conditions which can be avoided! Lets also manufacture a great looking glossy OLED 80 inch TVs most likely situated in a bright living room environment. It is also therefore less portable than a 27 inch monitor"

Air duster and faith

As someone else already mentioned, you can try to find glass screen protectors and apply them on top.

Lol, I'm giving this a try, but I got hella monitors. I have 2 Dell P2214H monitors, so I'm trying on one, which was already not being used. I don't mind losing it, they've lasted me close to 10 years now.

He literally said he was using water
