Looking to buy a 27 inch QD-OLED monitor and have come down to 2 options, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G60SD and Dell Alienware AW2725DF. I know they use the same panel so performance is identical, the only real difference is the coating being matte or glossy.

I usually game in a dark room, my PC has a lot of white RGB lighting, and the window in my room is to the left of the monitor about 100-150cm away and slightly behind it. Budget is around 700usd.

I'm mainly worried about the glossy coating on the Dell, heard it can be bad with any light source. But I also heard glossy looks significantly better in controlled lighting. Is the difference between matte and glossy actually that visible and noticeable day to day? Has anyone used both or switched between them?

Any help appreciated.

I currently own a Fiio JT1 which I mostly use for content consumption, music and for casual games.

I switch to using my Truthear zero:red IEMs when I usually play competitive games like valorant as the JT1's bass can be pretty heavy for comp games

Decided to go for an upgrade and was initially considering DT990 Pro, then I found out about the DT990 Pro X and honestly i like the functional features of the Pro X like the detachable cable, but the only drawback i feel is that DT pro X has less bass, I like a fun V shape sounding headphones, and i think i would like the DT990 Pro but i was wondering if the EQ can be tweaked on the Pro X to get the immersive experience of having more bass. Need help comparing these headphones and is it worth getting the Pro X or should I get just the Pro. Open for any other suggestions too like the DT 900Pro

Mostly play comp games like valorant so sound staging is important, looking for open back headphones, and will be using it at home. I do own a scarlett solo so amp is not an issue, my budget would be somewhere around 250usd can push to 300 if there are considerable options.

I don't mix or create music so I don't want a neutral sounding headphone. Need a daily usage, multipurpose headphone.
