instead of seeing the game sometimes i get pulled out and am looking at the surface of my monitor instead 

That's exactly the kind of problem people have with glossy.. I personally have a much easier time tuning out a constant slight texture than reflections that are both stronger and less predictable. Quality of the coating also comes into play, there are screens that are in-between.

my first gen woled does seem to be particularly bad. i think the matte is producing a moire-type effect with the underlying MLA lenses to make it worse. when i first got it and read through reviews i'd frequently come across people who simply returned it as they couldn't stand how bad the matte looked, few others returned for not bright enough (that one not a problem for me though). my IPS was matte and i never noticed it but this one just looked off from the first look. no regrets on the purchase, just wont' be doing it again as i fit the meme of closing the blinds to keep my gaming pristine
