On the actual panel?

Some panels like Dell IPS panels before have a pretty aggressive anti-glare screen-coating which looked like "fat dust" speckled over the screen, may be that you are seeing. If it was on plastic piece on a motherboard then you likely could remove it, on a graphics card likely too, but if you are talking about the front panel of the screen unless very obviously looking like it can be removed I'd be cautious about trying to remove anything.

Another monitor: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/8qme67/returning_my_asus_rog_swift_pg278qr_because_the/

Just Q one: www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus_rog_swift_pg279q.htm
"The screen coating on the PG279Q is a light anti-glare (AG) offering, the same as that featured on other modern AHVA panels as well, including the Acer XB270HU and Asus MG279Q. It isn't a semi-glossy coating, but it is light as seen on other modern IPS type panels. Thankfully it isn't a heavily grainy coating like some old IPS panels feature and is also lighter than modern TN Film panel coating, including popular gaming screens and the old PG278Q model. It retains its anti-glare properties to avoid too many unwanted reflections of a full glossy coating, but does not produce an too grainy or dirty an image that some thicker AG coatings can. There were some very slight cross-hatching patterns visible on the coating if you looked very closely, but nothing very obvious."

This I don't suggest doing: https://hardforum.com/threads/guide-how-to-remove-the-anti-glare-ag-coating-from-a-dell-u2312hm-lcd.1674033/
Compare the film he lifted up there to how a glossy screen look.

If you look at this image: https://binged.it/2IXx3mj
In the most left column third row from the bottom you can see some screen which doesn't seem to have any anti-reflective coating whatsoever. Also two columns in from the right two rows up looks clear too. Also top right.
I guess the bottom right wouldn't look too grainy, the one above it looks fine, but some are pretty nasty.
