What about another cheaper better performer:
100% sRGB
96% AdobeRGB
versus
99% sRGB
77% AdobeRGB
Dell Ultrasharp U2711
Same price, better specs.

Thanks for the review! I was looking for a new monitor, but I didn’t know that the S27B970D is a glossy monitor until I read this review.
As I spend most of my time on coding, and not as much on photography, I think I will find another Samsung or ASUS large (greater than 24”) matte monitor.
