So after a little owl-like head twisting, I was able to perceive the brush on both of my Dell 24" LCDs. However, I noticed something interesting.
Even though they are fairly similar models with a year or two difference (U2410 vs 2408WFP), they have different polarizations. The U has a vertical brush/bowtie and the WFP has a horizontal brush.
In the past, I have noticed that the brightness of the two is different and has been hard to match. If I drag an application between the two screens, it is almost impossible to tune either monitor so the display is uniform.
Does the manufacturer explicitly determine the orientation of the polarization? Are there reasons for one versus the other? Reasons why a manufacturer might want to rotate it?
I have noticed in the past that some dashboard or nav screens in cars are hard to see with my sunglasses while others aren't, and I know that is due to the orientation of their polarization because if I twist my head 90 degrees, the effect reverses.
If you have polarized sunglasses you should be able to verify those polarizations by rotating your sunglasses to see when the screens go black vs look normal.

Fun stuff.
