    Problem removing the stand - Crossover 27qw

    Hello guys Yesterday I received a Crossover 27qw from accessorieswhole. Shipping was surprisingly - no, make that incredibly - fast. I only did a quick check to see if everything is ok, and on first glance there were no dead pixels. Backlighbleeding seems to be normal/minor (two corners...

    Reliable e-bay sellers at the moment?

    Ordered the monitor today, I hope it goes through customs easily and arrives soon. I didn't choose a pixel perfect offer. Accessorieswhole's policy allows for 3 defective pixels maximum (that includes bright, stuck, and dead pixels). So even without the pixel perfect option his policy is as good...

    Reliable e-bay sellers at the moment?

    Sure. I chose accessorieswhole, who is official dealer for Crossover. That's why he can offer really pixel perfect monitors (which means zero dead pixels allowed, not like up to five as with other sellers). He doesn't have the Sakwa, but since the only seller who does couldn't answer the...

    Reliable e-bay sellers at the moment?

    The seller rating is definitely an important factor. I also weigh in the pixel policy and warranty. With some sellers you have to pay the postage cost yourself if you need a repair during the warranty period. That's definitely not so nice. In the end I think I have found my seller. His policies...

    Reliable e-bay sellers at the moment?

    Hello everybody Before I decide where to buy a Crossover 27qw, which are the most reliable sellers on ebay right now? I could go with accessorieswhole, who is responsive and offers a good perfect pixel policy (1 defective pixel only), but it would cost me 50$ more roughly. Another option...

    Crossover 27 Sakwa (Apple) 1440p 60Hz AH-IPS

    Recently contacted dream-seller about the differences between a 27qw and the 27qw Sakwa. He wrote that the 27qw has an IPS panel, the Sakwa an AH-IPS. That's probably a misinformation though, as the 27qw is advertised as having AH-IPS as well. I asked about the panel coating as well. In their...

    Best glossy korean 27" monitor right now?

    Sorry, I don't quite get what you wanted to post here. But anyway, I've decided that I won't try to remove the AG coating. Too risky for my taste and with my clumsy hands. I'll try to find out whether the Sakwa's panel allows overclocking. If it does it must be the pcb board that doesn't allow...

    Best glossy korean 27" monitor right now?

    Yeah, residing glue is a risk as well. What I read the biggest riks to damage the polarizer is when trying to clean away residing glue. Found something interesting though: http://emaxeon.com/index.php?route=ac_cms/article&b_id=11 It looks like you can replace the PCB of Crossover monitors. In...

    Best glossy korean 27" monitor right now?

    Thanks for the suggestion Panmaster. After some more reading I've decided that I won't try to remove the coating of a new monitor. The risk of damaging the polarizer is too big for me. I guess I'll try to get a Qnix with the old panel somewhere, even if it looks to be a very difficult task...

    Best glossy korean 27" monitor right now?

    A quick summary: The options are -Qnix Q2700 Evolution ii. Overclockable, but uses PWM dimming/flickers (unless you can get one with the older panel). - Crossover 27qw Sakwa. Not overclockable, uses PDC which reduces reflections but blacks look greyish. - Crossover 2795QHD. Good image...

    Best glossy korean 27" monitor right now?

    Which matte monitor would you recommend for that purpose Panmaster? What's the big advantages of PDC icor? I know that NCX is not a fan of it because of the greying out of blacks. But his pictures are taken under completely dark conditions, which almost never will be the case in my room. Mostly...

    Best glossy korean 27" monitor right now?

    Doing my research before buying a glossy korean 27" monitor it seems like all the best options have run out right now. My first choice would have been the Yamakasi Catleap 2B, but it's prices are between 500 and 1500$ from the very few sellers that still have some in stock. I wrote an email to a...

    Catleap 2B OCs must be just about gone

    As written above the current price is probably just a trick for ebay when a seller is out of stock. I can't imagine anybody actually buying a Yamakasi for 1'500$. The question is whether the Catleap 2B will be available again anytime soon.

    Catleap 2B OCs must be just about gone

    Does anybody know what's up with the Catleap 2B? Most sellers don't offer them anymore, and the few that do ask prices of more than 500$. Also this thread shows that this seems to be the case for quite some time now.

    Best 27" glossy monitor - Iiyama ProLite XB2779qs, Crossover 27QW?

    Yes, PDC is good for text, but blacks can look greyish. On the other hand there are less reflections than with other glossy monitors. So it's a about compromises. @Michaelius that's a bummer. I thought the Iiyama was the only safe option, with the korean models being a bit of a gamble.If it...
