Is there any roadmap for display manufacturers? I'm interested in 2500x1600~ IPS displays @ 23/24 inches rather than 27/30. I prefer working on 2/3 monitors, and don't want to mix and match different monitors any more. e: Potentially 120hz too, but I think it's going to be another 5 years before my dream monitors exists at a decent price. ee: Or even cheaper 2500x1600 IPS displays or something. I want higher resolution

Why the hell can't they put out a monitor with a tiny bezel all the way around. Even if that monitor was as good as a comparable dell IPS and cheaper, I don't think I'd bite if it had a gigantic bezel.

Specs look good enough, and a fantastic price, but lots of complaints about the monitor breaking and bad customer support. Best of luck to you with it, I'm pretty jealous.

gregday posted:Anyone think $800 (buying second hand, 3 months old, no shipping/tax) is good for a 27" LED Apple Cinema Display? It's not one of the swanky new Thunderbolt ones, but my MacBook Pro doesn't have that anyway and I'm unlikely to upgrade to the new kind for awhile. Refurbs are $850+tax from Apple, so it's a "decent" deal in that you're probably saving $100-130 after taxes on it.

Snazzy, does 600 moon money translate into $600? I've only seen euros get screwed when its $x= £x. e: vv I know conversion rates, I've just never really seen products that get priced out in £ before USD. I do know that usually a product that sells for $100 USD sells for £100 screwing them, so I was hoping it'd work to our(my) advantage this time. Probably not 800-1000~ sounds about right.

I might jump in that group buy, I've been waiting for an IPS 1440p at a cheaper price point. How/why are they so cheap though (they say $230 usd, but $400~ if you import it)? Are there really almost $200 in import fees + shipping for a monitor?

spanko posted:Do those Achieva Korean monitors have language settings in the OSD menus? Is it all in korean or can you set it to english? I'm trying to figure out how feasible buying one of these things is and I'm not as worried about warranties and returns as I am about being able to change brightness/contrast. Not worried about dead pixels?-- That's the main reason I haven't bought one yet. It'd probably be easy enough to find someone (maybe even on SA) who would tell you what the menu options said (or even just figuring it out through trial and error).

You just swap the power cord with a standard US one (used for monitors, computers, PS3, tons of other things)-- the brick can handle the power conversion, but south korea uses a different outlet connector.

My Korean 27 inch 1440P IPS monitor arrived today: 0 dead pixels/stuck pixels, no light bleeding, $371 shipped to the US. Only "downside" is that I didn't get one of the ones that can unofficially support 97hz refresh rate.

Hopefully it will be in good condition.. I'm not sure how thorough the customers for PR is, but some euros had to pay duties on it (most sellers mark it as $50-100 though so it's not too bad) Best of luck in getting one with 0 dead pixels and no light bleed.

Tedronai66 posted:It will but it might not do it at the same graphics quality your current monitor runs at. It looks like the monitors cost only $250 in South Korea and these are what they use in the gaming cafes there.. so I'd imagine not too much of a variance in pricing-- maybe it'll go up a little bit as they got a ton of orders due to overclockers/slickdeals/reddit/other forums.

Animal posted:Doesn't bother me much to be honest, I expected some kind of imperfection, these displays must be, after all, rejects from what otherwise would sell for more than twice the price. From what I have read about them, they are rated as A- quality meaning that upwards of 5 dead pixels (or 10?) are acceptable- as is some light bleed/color shift. They are still very excellent specimens, but they may be imperfect. Congrats on an almost perfect one!

It has a dual link DVI so it should work. You can use any standard 3 prong AC adapter thing-- I just used the one that used to be connected to my old monitor. They come with computers, monitors, PS3, lots of printers, etc. Just buy whichever is cheapest shipped from amazon/monoprice if you dont have any extras.

Not bad considering that it is coming all the way from Korea. I live in Chicago and get stuff early sometimes since we are close to an air hub. It sure would be nice to get it in before the weekend. I live in Chicago, and my monitor was in customs for way longer than it took to get from Korea->Alaska->(I forgot where was next)-> Chicago (Like 30 hours in customs).

spanko posted:Well Animal and I both got the Catleap and its definitely not glossy. I would assume the Achieva Shimian is exactly the same with a different bezel and stand. The Crossover is definitely glossy, as you can see in the picture I posted from hardforums. I think mine is closer to what you guys have. If it's off (or solid black) I can see some reflection, but otherwise, I don't see any reflecting going on. Yamakasi Catleap.

Fatal posted:It's kinda funny but I'm finding with my ZR30w it's actually too big for some games. Mainly CS and SC2, I don't want a massive 30" window to play a game (not to mention 16:10 in SC2 is a smaller viewport than 16:9) so I actually run in windowed 1920:1080 for those games. For the D3 Beta I've been running full resolution though and it's awesome. I actually kind of like 1920x1080 with a browser on the side. It's like having two monitors but no bezel between the two.

Shadowhand00 posted:You have to host pictures offline (imgur) in order to post pictures. They cost $225 for the cheapest versions unless you buy in bulk, and shipping is $100+ unless you drop ship which is like $75 /ea unless you're shipping a gently caress ton. They only make like $30-50 profit on each one, but then pay ebay and paypal fees, you're not going to get them cheaper elsewhere. You get effectively no warranty, as shipping it back to korea isn't worth the cost, and unlike Dell, they wont swap it if you get backlight/dead pixels unless its really bad. The plus side is that the risks appear to be relatively low for something that's 50% off of the closest competitor.

Gwaihir posted:There is like.. zero chance of getting a U2711 for $300 right from dell. That monitor normally retails for $999, and you might see a dell sale that drops it to $800 something. Usually they run one set of sales for two weeks to a month and then switch it up again. Most people usually report being able to get a slightly better price during sales by talking to a salesman on the phone. If you really want a 27" IPS screen for 300$, your options are the korean model that the thread has spent the last 3 pages talking about. He was asking to get it $300 off the regular price. I just did a search on some deal sites and it looks like every 2-3 months it's possible to purchase it for $800~ (sometimes a little lower- lowest I see is $764 with a 10% coupon stacked) The last sale that lowered the price of the 27 looks to have been in December, so it might be coming shortly. (Last time the 25% worked on 27 inch looks to be late June, October, December)

My 2011 macbook air has no problem driving it, but I had to purchase an active displayport-->dual link DVI adapter from monoprice (extra $67~). It plays games kind of at a slideshow framerate though, but movies/browsing/other actions are fine. You can also still run a game at 720p or 1080p and have room on the side for a browser or whatever else you'd like.

I have 5 buttons: Volume Up, Volume Down, Brightness Up, Brightness Down, On/Off There are no speakers in the version I purchased, but the port and buttons are still there- they do nothing The brightness controls do control the brightness, but there is no bar on the screen when it is pushed, only the brightness changes.

I'd buy an iPad 1 and an otter box. Stick the otter box to the wall however you please and run it that way. You can find them from $200 through websites (http://www.cowboom.com/product/812850) I'd imagine even cheaper through craigslist or whatever. You can use Plex, or Air Video, Netflix, Hulu+, pretty much whatever. If you want to future proof it a bit more, getting a used ipad 2 would ensure at least 2 years of updates/airplay mirroring or whatever other things you can think of. e: Some photographers use this setup, but it's kind of expensive and I didn't think it was what you wanted: http://www.amazon.com/Delkin-DDMOUN...&tag=acleint-20 http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-244...&tag=acleint-20

I got a notification saying my item was posted )with a tracking number) last week but another notification today saying they are waiting for stock from the supplier. They're a drop shipper, as are all of the Korean monitor sales guys on eBay. They probably got a number of orders in, sent their payment, and were later told that there were not enough monitors to ship for a few days. It happens, it sucks, but it's part of the reason they're able to offer such cheap prices. They don't actually have any monitors at hand/in storage.

Marzzle posted:Any idea if a korean 27" will work with a macbook pro with a Intel HD Graphics 3000 chipset? Reading around seems to give mixed opinions on it only working with display port -> display port or possibly working with a dual link DVI adapter... My macbook air has the same HD3000 and runs it just fine-- but I needed to buy an active dual link DVI adapter ($60 from mono price). Occasionally when turning on the monitor I need to unplug and replug the adapter back in as the image is static-- but I've seen reports of that with the Apple adapter as well.
