Default Need a 22" LCD with a glossy screen

Trying to get my mom a new monitor...she wants a 22" but she doesn't want the screen to have that non-reflective look (I beleive it's called "matty") She want's it to be more glossy where if you turn it off you can see yourself and stuff (Not the reason she wants it but that's just an example haha ) Any solutions for <$300?

Hi
I am not sure about the Matty but here is the 22 LCD I have. I paid about $200 after rebate. I like mine. Hope this helps you.

The HP w2207 is a gorgeous monitor with gloss. I believe it still costs above 300, but it's well worth the money.

Yea, look into the HP 22 inch LCDs. I saw them at Circuit City a few months ago and they looked beautiful.

I have no blur with my 5ms.

Some manufactures claim 5ms... under their tests in their lab.

It works fine for action scenes, games, etc. Watch DVD's all the time on it .

But anyways way to go welcome to w2207 club with Aaron and I .

Be sure to go to my sig thread and get your monitor back into your sig!
You spent a lot of money on it, why not boast about it in your system specs !
