Any 144hz+ monitors without AG (anti-glare) coating?

I can't stand the dirty/smudgy look with the AG Coating applied. Hated the ROG Swift, will be returning the Dell 2417.

Anyone know of a 144hz+ without the AG Coating? I'd prefer not to remove the coating myself.

GSYNC or FreeSYNC?

I ended up keeping my Acer XF270HU over the BenQ XL2730 because of the AG coating. The Acer AG coating is what I would say is the lightest AG possible. The only downside is the blue power LED cant be disabled.

144hz + IPS is pretty great. Response time is about 5.5ms average compared to the BenQ 3.3ms. I wish I could have kept the BenQ but the AG coating was just too much. The color on the Acer is pretty great and yes it can do 100hz strobed.

Do all of these new 144hz 1440p IPS panels feature lighter coating?

I have a pretty goddamn dirty 27'' 1080p monitor here. I haven't cleaned it in way too long. You'd figure that's smudge and grain city, right? Well, in comparison to brand new 144hz 1080p TNs (XL2430 and 24GM77 in particular), it looks pristine clean. That's how ridiculously grainy the coating is on this 24'' TN panel.

I think it's about time we moved past this grainy coating meme. Aggressive coatings serve their purpose in potentially light-flooded tournament scenarios, but that's not the realm of 144hz IPS/VA panels. I hope the manufacturers realize this.
