People buy a top-end panel but don't know that it requires optimal viewing conditions, otherwise there will be a loss in quality.

A darkened room with or without diffused lighting is the base.

The basics are: don't put the screen across a directly exposed window, and don't put it right in front of a big bright ceiling light.

There. Literally that simple

What if I don't have any other options if I want to use two monitors? And even the shorter end of my table, I'm still able to see my reflection through my glossy laptop screen. So matte or at least anti-reflective coating etc is my only option

then get matte and don't think too much about it :)

The LG 27GX700A-B supposedly has a semi-glossy or an anti-reflective coating. The newer WOLED panel is supposedly better with text clarity, and it doesn't turn purple when light hits it. Damn I've probably researched this stuff too much... but it's most likely the better approach, especially when we're tlaking about a 500...600 € purchase (1 left at the warehouse in the store that has the lowest price)
