Did the ACD have an A-TW polarizer? These were common on high end monitors about 10 years ago, but were dropped to save cost.
@GrandCiel , I frequently switch between a 24 inch 4K Matte monitor at work, and a glossy LG Ultrafine at home. The glossy is better but not by a huge amount. I still definitely appreciate the retina resolution on the matte and it never feels blurry.
What is an A-TW (Advanced True White) polarizer? What are the benefits and drawbacks?
The A-TW filter is an additional film that is applied to some LCD panels with the aim of improving off-axis viewing of the display by reducing the "glow" effect that can be seen when viewing very dark images at extreme angles on S-IPS LCD panels. While it does reduce the glow effect, it can also introduce a slight coloration artifact that causes the glow to appear green when viewed from one angle, and magenta from another.
