It seems there are many people on this forum including myself who would love to see a large high quality IPS panel such as the Dell U2711 in glossy form. I was seriously considering purchasing a 27" iMac purely for this reason even though I would have no use for the Mac hardware built into the screen. This was until I discovered the amount of people complaining about bleeding backlights on the 27" iMacs. That's one trait that I could not accept. As I understand it the U2711 does not exhibit the same backlight issues probably due to the use of a CCFL backlight instead of edge lit LED like in the iMac. That however brings me back to the problem of the AG coating which I also cannot stand.
Then it dawned on me that you can get both matte and glossy screen protectors for small displays and after a bit of research discovered this company:

The manufacturer Rota mentions that they sell the glossy film in rolls or custom cut (as they don't do a 27" windscreen size pre-cut unfortunately). So my question is has anyone tried it and what do people think the final finish will be like if I purchase a U2711 and cover it with this glossy film? I think it could possibly be my ideal screen. It doesn't look too hard to apply either:
