ordered it from buy.com last week, got it today.
it has a glossy panel, with glossy plastics. the panel's very likely the same 6-bit one in the dell s2740l.
it has 1 vga port, 2 hdmi ports, an audio in jack, and 2 speakers which are expectedly shit. the power supply is an external brick and all of the ports are in the monitor base. there is no vesa mount. the monitor has tilt adjustment (-3 to 15 degrees) only, no height or pivot adjustment. the monitor's bezel design is exactly like that of the lg ips277l - it has a physical bezel of about 2mm at the top, left, and right sides, but the actual display area begins further in. the effective 'bezel' thickness is 12mm top/left/right, and 20mm bottom.
maximum brightness is around 280 cd/m2, and minimum brightness is about 85. at the default settings, contrast is around 1000:1. with color mode set to user and the values for rgb at their defaults, white point was around 6600k, and gamma at 2.15.
there is significant rtc overshoot, just as on the dell s2740l. it can be disabled via the service menu (accessed by holding down the 'e' button while powering up the monitor, then going into the osd and selecting the 'F' character in the upper left corner of the osd), but the setting doesn't hold through a power cycle or signal loss.
the backlight uses pwm.
input lag is pretty low, i'd guess at most one frame.
the monitor can run at 75hz without dropping frames. the rtc overshoot is a little less noticeable at 75hz.
ran the monitor through the usual tests and the panel with a full white screen is pretty uniform. both lower corners and the top edge have quite a bit of backlight bleed on a black screen. ips glow was about normal. no dead pixels, and i thought pixelwise the panel was perfect until i put up a solid black screen and looked very closely. about 1/3 of the entire panel is covered with stuck red subpixels, all layed out in a consistent hexagonal pattern. i'm talking hundreds of them. they're not stuck full bright of course, but maybe 10% brightness. at a normal viewing distance they're not visible, even with the large pixel pitch.
stuck subpixels
at around $400 this monitor is overpriced for what it is. the aoc i2757fh is about $100 less. functionally, they're about the same, except that the aoc isn't glossy and has adjustable overdrive.
