Dough Spectrum One

As stunning as Dough's original glossy display

- DAVE JAMES

FORMERLY KNOWN as Eve, Dough has had a shaky start. The internet is littered with tales of product non-delivery and delayed refunds, but it's hanging in there with this revision of its 27-inch 4K gaming panel.

It started off as a fairly conventional 4K monitor with a matte anti-glare coating then it went glossy. Now, we've got a further iteration, using Corning's Gorilla Glass with DXC. The glossy version was a game changer; it made a huge difference to the contrast levels, so it's exciting to see what the new Corning Gorilla Glass version-the first gaming monitor to offer it-can deliver.

The pitch is that it will handle reflections better and offer more robust anti-abrasion protection, while maintaining the contrast advantages of a more conventional glossy panel. The anti-abrasion bit is why Gorilla Glass is found in so many smartphones-after all, they spend much of their lives jammed into the pockets of careless owners or skittering across pavements and tabletops.
