TrueBlack Glossy removes coating grain and gives games a crisp, vivid look. Its exceptional clarity is the main reason to prefer this screen finish over matte alternatives.
Pros: black levels, motion clarity
Cons: value for money, Dual-mode versatility
The semi-gloss finish preserves a notably clear and vivid image without the grain of some matte coatings. Bright reflections remain an unavoidable compromise.
Pros: sharpness, overall satisfaction
Cons: value for money, VRR flicker
TrueBlack Glossy avoids the grain and haze common on matte coatings, leaving images and text especially crisp.
Pros: overall satisfaction, response time
Cons: reflection handling, VRR flicker
The haze-free glossy surface gives unusually crisp text and an almost glass-like picture without matte grain, at the cost of strong mirror reflections.
Pros: black levels, sharpness
Cons: value for money, brightness
The semi-glossy finish keeps images crisp and colorful without the grain of heavy matte coatings, though it trades off some glare resistance.
Pros: color gamut, overall satisfaction
Cons: reflection handling, VRR flicker
The newer coating maintains a clear, glossy-looking image while reducing reflected-light problems compared with earlier QD-OLED finishes.
Pros: color gamut, contrast
Cons: value for money, Resolution
The anti-glare surface controls reflections well, although a few glossy-screen fans wish the image had a more glass-like finish.
Pros: Pixel density, Resolution
Cons: GPU demands, HDR performance
LuxPixel significantly reduces glare, but its diffusion can add a slightly hazy or grainy texture to fine text and white backgrounds. Preferences split between matte practicality and glossy punch.
Pros: color accuracy, overall picture quality
Cons: HDR performance, refresh rate
The matte coating contains moderate grain, a small clarity tradeoff for its anti-reflection properties.
Pros: value for money, Resolution
Cons: HDR performance, port selection
The matte coating is divisive: some see crisp, unobstructed detail while others notice haze, shimmer or grain that undermines 6K text clarity.
Pros: value for money, Resolution
Cons: HDR performance, refresh rate
The matte surface cuts direct reflections but can introduce a subtle grain or diffuse glare into a white haze. Opinions range from barely noticeable texture to a significant loss of...
Pros: USB-C power delivery, port selection
Cons: HDR performance, refresh rate
The matte surface softens perceived crispness compared with a glossy OLED, particularly when reflections are diffused across the display.
Pros: motion clarity, Backlight strobing
Cons: contrast, HDR performance
