kuhla Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 This would probably be the ideal search filter to use for the Korean monitors. I don't know what you used. There are some in the low $300 in there. --- http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_ItemCond...pRatedSellers=1 Avoid glass. It's not just like a glossy coat, it's applied after the fact and the chance of getting dust trapped behind it is high and it is not easy to remove. Note that many of them come with a very cheap stand that only offers tilt, no swivel, pivot or height adjustment. Some people bought aftermarket stands on monoprice (VESA compatible) stuff like this. Remember the risk of dead pixels, there may be some, there may be none, but there is no return policy unlike all the other brands we can get here. I believe there are 2-3 sellers offering a perfect pixel guarantee but I'm not sure what that entails. Inputs, many have only a DVI input and that's it. There are a few with multi-input and they have slightly increased input lag but I THINK they are still under one frame even with the added lag. In terms of colors, I'll leave that for Richard since he actually has one. Response time is 6ms which is competitive enough considering you are getting IPS which is a big increase in color fidelity over TN. http://www2.120hz.net/forum.php covers other brands and models than just the 120hz model. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5885/the-ach...hd-sips-display anandtech did a quickie review of them in case you missed it.

Malaphax Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I will most likely be purchasing this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Free-Voltage-Pixel...=item4aba04431a The monitor is certainly a step up from other panels we have in the US. That being said, I do feel as though this is one of the more risky electronics purchases I'm making. I also hope that the shipping is not too long of a process. I do not want a single monitor setup for any substantial amount of time. While it would be pretty cool to have a 120hz monitor I don't have the time to wait for one, nor do I think I'd have the patience to do what richard does and switch to 120hz sometimes. Also I would like to see if the display manufacturers will end up making some better displays in the coming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Keep in mind you'll also need a US power cable (the adapter is switching but it comes with a korean plug). It uses the same type as your PSU so if you have a spare one, you won't need to buy another one. Monoprice has the power cables pretty cheap if you need it there.

Malaphax Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 My monitor arrived today. It's big, it's bold and it's beautiful. I have 1 dead pixel, middle screen lower third about 3 inches from the bottom. Other than that the monitor is clean, the stand looks relatively level and no issues setting it up (whats the set up lol). The second monitor looks slightly washed out compared to the shimian, however part of this is because I tended to run monitors a bit dark compared to some people. With this monitor since there are no real display calibration settings I will be running it a bit brighter than I am used to. I haven't tested any videos or game just yet, I'll probably be doing that this afternoon. This combined with the faster internet will make fun and exciting day today.

With the higher pixel density, the off center location of the dead pixel, is it satisfactory? Is the pixel stuck pink? white? black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaphax Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 The dead pixel seems to be stuck black. It's not in the center so certainly not readily noticeable. I think this is livable. Unless a website has a very white color scheme it's not something I can even see without getting close. As far as 3d applications or gaming I have a hard time thinking that would be something I would notice. As I said, I'll be doing some video testing and games during this afternoon and evening.

Jedi2155 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Although somewhat related and somewhat not, its not really a 120 hz monitor lol. I almost never noticed my dead pixel unless I'm looking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaphax Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 This is where I got mine from: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Monitors-Projectors-Accs-/162497/i.html?_ipg=&_from=&_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ssn=dream-seller You may want to consider paying slightly extra for "pixel perfect" since otherwise it can have up to 5 dead pixels. I only have 1 and it's stuck gray so I'm pretty happy with the small extra cost. Also look around some of them have better stands now than what I have.

kuhla Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 A little bit, yes, but it's a pretty small difference. You do have some selection on ebay for different stands and bezels. There are obviously some advantages to buying locally too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuhla Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Looks like Dell joined the party? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260111 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038R9C8I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Actually they and Apple probably started the party (if you're talking about the 27" Screen Size). Everything being sold now for cheap are defective panels that failed those two guy's QA testing. http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=au&cs=audhs1&l=en&s=dhs&sku=210-31399&redirect=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi2155 Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 So I'm still using this monitor to this day but its getting mighty long in the tooth (approaching 6 years of continuous overclocked usage). Do you think I should sell it and if I do I'd temporary swap it with my U2410 until a better secondary display can be found. Know anyone interested? Not sure of what the remaining value is. What are your guys "oldest" regularly used displays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
