No, pixel perfect is actually a marketing ploy, there's no evidence of any testing on "pixel perfect" monitors. Someone on overclock.net just got a "pixel perfect" monitor with a row of 7 dead pixels. The sellers seem to know this and will give a partial refund or $5 each dead pixel. Yes, I...

Man that sucks. Who did you order from? I would try to get a return setup ASAP, I heard it's hard to communicate with the ebay sellers if you wait too long.

Yeah, the QNIX qx2710 or the X-star dp2710 are the way to go. DVI-Dual Link bypasses a video scaler, response times are ~6ms GtG, and people have OCed them to 120Hz. I don't see a better monitor on the market that has those features and certainly nothing like that for such a ridiculously low...

It's very likely it uses PWM, I can see obvious flicker at the lowest brightness setting (i.e. duty cycle is at it's lowest). A potential solution would be to set the monitor brightness to the highest setting (100% duty) to eliminate the source of the flickering. Then adjust your brightness in...

Yes, I don't know why all the korean ebay sellers have DVI-I Dual Link listed as not being compatible. DVI-I Dual Link = DVI-D Dual Link when you connect a DVI-D Dual Link cable to the port. Some one posted this the overclock forums. It's the only accurate explanation I've seen:

I doubt that those overclock since they added a video scaler to the board. The DVI-D Dual Link direct connections are the way to go.

I'm not sure why everyone is so gung-ho about the monoprice monitor. It's a rebadged Achieva QH2700-IPSMS. Also their warranty isn't all inclusive. Monoprice Warranty "As with the previous model, we are standing behind this monitor with a 5-dead-pixel warranty for a period of one (1) year...

There's also the X-star DP2710 which has the same PLS panel and is nearly identical to the QNIX model. Either way you can't go wrong, I'm still thinking about picking up second. I'm worried prices will go up like they did on the Yamakasi and Achieva as supplies decreased.
