No, but they shouldn't be shiny.
The displays I use (except laptop) are all small enough vs DPI that I have the "cleartype" or equivalent sub-pixel addressing off. It only works for high contrast mono text and inherently gives red and blue edges to text.
No colour fringing at all on on my QHD, UHD, 15" 1600 x 1200 laptop (2002) and 15.6" 1920 x1080 (2016) laptop. The newer 17" 1920 x1080 (2022) laptop is poorer. It should either be 15" or QHD. It maybe suits people that marginally need reading glasses and don't wear them. The 22" 1920 x 1080 I was offered 2 days ago is more an office TV than a computer monitor. And it boggles me that there are TVs, laptops and monitors that are only 720 or 768. Can't read an A4 PDF or see proper HD video. It might make sense for 10" or so, but not at 15" to 32".
Not hard to find cracked sellers of S/H goods. Even sometimes new stuff in the local shop I'd think who is dumb enough?
As an aside, Lidl repeatedly have multiple models of DAB radios (with poor FM after thought with not enough memories and terrible ergonomics). DAB was turned off two and a half years ago in Ireland, only ever had State Radio and 45% coverage and isn't coming back. But far crazier stuff in the local shops, never mind online. The last Snuff, Cigar & Tobacco shop in Limerick opened as a Snuff factory in 1870. They still sell snuff, cigars, pipe tobacco as if it's 1823. However half the shop is now posh teas, caddies, teapots, spirit stoves etc. Sensible diversification?
