Highest scored product for this attribute based on supporting review evidence.

#1 ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W
5.0

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

#2 ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM
5.0

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

#3 ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG
4.9

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

#4 ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCWM
4.7

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

#5 ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG
4.6

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

#7 ASUS ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG
4.0

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

#8 ASUS ProArt Display PA27JCV
3.8

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

#9 ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS
3.0

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

#10 ASUS ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV
2.9

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

#11 ASUS ProArt Display PA279CRV
2.6

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

#12 ASUS ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV
2.0

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
