$300~: Best monitor w/ least bleed (glossy preferred, not required)

[knaledge]

I'd like to spend around $200-400 on a monitor that meets the following "criteria":

- Minimal/no light bleed
- best res:$ ratio (x1080 totally fine; don't need x1440 or x1200 but hey)
- if put through typical Tom's HW review, would perform well (namely uniformity, contrast, black/white, etc. - like the ViewSonic vx2770smh sort of did, if you follow)

PREFERRED:
- glossy
- VESA

BONUS:
- Displayport
- stock base/stand has tilt+height+rotation


Recently bought the Dell S2340M and just could not get over the lower-left light bleed (exchanged twice).

Your advice is sincerely appreciated! Looking to pick something up very soon. Thank you!

I use 3x of these vg248qe
While it is a TN monitor I do very much like the 144hz refresh

It is only 1920x1080 but read a few reviews on it maybe it will meet what you want.

Yeah TN or IPS - really doesn't matter at the moment. However, the biggest concern is that backlight bleed is absolutely at a minimum.

And I'd truly prefer glossy.
