I have Dell Ultrasharps in one location and am happy. Make sure to really confirm though: what is sometimes listed as matte, may not be (or may be some type of hybrid matte, not a true matte). I also have a couple Acer B246WL which are slim bezel and matte and am happy with those as well. If only I could get some more of my old LG 23EA64's. I'm down to one...when moving offices last year, one was ruined. That was a tough pill to swallow. The HPs posted earlier look very good (that combined with having seen HP matte in person before). Guessing they weren't yet out last time we were in the market (about 18mos ago). They don't look like natively vesa-compatible though. Even if that's a problem, I think there are some aftermarket adapters - that might hurt your price savings though. In my experience, I've found that glossy screens can be a real pain even when the light source isn't 'direct'. So I have to disagree, but I would certainly concede that it's highly personal, and will also depend on how bright is the room that you're in.

That's a ridiculous-sized computer monitor...I mean you're only a foot or two away from it, I've been only using a 14" laptop for years and years...I must imagine my eyes and neck muscles must get a true workout with that, But I still want it. for porn -- and maybe computer gaming, even though I don't really play games anymore. 3840 X 1080 pixels resolution is kind of low, or just average...for that size monitor though, There are alot of other computer monitors on the market with much denser resolutions.
I am considering getting this Dell Announces Its First Multi-Client Monitor, Designed for Financial Traders and Software Developers Four independent clients in a single screen without bezels hindering view Ultra HD 4K single or multiple input FHD resolution screens with a matte finish to reduce glare and strain on eyes http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/usc...016-05-17-dell-43-multi-client-monitor-p4317q Edit: It is $899 US, don't know if that is out of budget http://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop...17q/apd/210-ahsq/monitors-monitor-accessories
I would say forget it. This is pricier than 4 ultrasharp 24" monitors, and for that extra expense you are setting yourself up for a single point of failure. If 1 monitor fails in a set of 4, you still have the other three while the broken one is repaired/replaced. If this one fails in any way, you lose all screens at once to have it repaired/replaced.
Light in the room whether from bulbs, through windows, or even reflected within the room... along with monitor placement and your viewing angle will determine whether or not you can eliminate glare. If you can, great. If not then a matte finish might be your choice. (I use multi-monitor with no glare at all. I also have a couple of old plasma TVs with glass screens... again, no glare. But I have one with a matte finish which from some angles almost can't be viewed at all until the sun goes down. The matte doesn't help enough. That TV is also old and comparatively heavy... about 85 pounds... and is in an awkward "built-around" space. Otherwise, I'd replace the mount with an articulating one where I could perhaps angle the glare away. When the TV is eventually replaced it will get a new mount.)
It is the same issue if you only have 1 computer, 1 power source, 1 ISP connection.... Everyone should have a backup already. I keep a laptop always plugged in and fully charged in case I lose power to my house that has an 8 hour battery. I also have the ability to tether my laptop to my phone over LTE 4 in case my ISP goes offline. I also have an account with Amazon AWS so I can spin up a windows machine and connect to it from anywhere I can accesses a browser.
@toonerdy I would have researched that option, but I don't watch enough TV to warrant getting a 4K. I also keep my trading monitors to solely trading, with an eventual YouTube here and there.
@lawrence-lugar if you buy 2 of theses and place them facing each other, with you in the middle, you might end up having a very special experience!
