Pc Monitor like iMac or iPad screen - Glass front

[Casa1862]

As the title, does anyone know of a screen that gives a image the same as a Apple IMac or iPad screen? Just looking for a 22 to 27”

Many years ago I had 17” 4x3 that had a glass front, very easy to clean and picture was really vibrant, you could get some glare off it but a comprise I’ll live with. Any ideas?

An Apple one, pre thunderbolt, will work with a pc with displayport output

Cheers, thanks for the info. I’m not sure why PC monitor manufacturers stopped making them, Ive been looking for a while but not found anything suitable.

You need to search for gloss or glossy monitors rather than glass. I think Dell do one.

Thanks, I have found the Dell S2718D which seems ok, only problem is that it’s been discontinued, PC world have some ex display but 50 miles away, also £400 for an ex display.

The replacement Dell model S2719 seems similar but missing the all important gloss screen and few other features but much cheaper.

Anyone know of an alternative??

Just to update this thread and help anyone else who want a glass/glossy monitor.

Very difficult to find now but found this one, it's more than i wanted to pay but still good price from Amazon at £645.00. It's a 5k monitor and similar to the iMac 27 inch screens.

Was just going to suggest Iiyama. Their 27" I have is probably one of my favorite screens.
All sorts of inputs as well.

Cheers, I've probably gone a bit overboard but I look at all day so a couple of hundred extra is well worth it.

Can anyone suggest graphic card to run it. I've only got a standard tower HP Pc (about 18 months old) Core i5 6500 / 3.2 GHz - RAM 4 GB - SSD 256 GB - HD Graphics 530 DVI and VGA connector only.

I'm only running a single monitor so any card suitable to run it, I don't play games, just normal office work and occasional i-player
