    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    I had something like this happen to me before, and it was the NVIDIA card dying :(. Replacing the card fixed the BSOD entirely.

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    I got my Crossover. Zero dead or stuck pixels. The picture was rather cool to begin with, however, I have a good colorimeter (a Xrite i1 Display Pro) and calibrated it pretty easily. Overall, I'm pretty happy, but I think I figured out how these are not A+ panels, however. Mine, at least, has a...

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    This is probably a stupid question, but what's the general consensus on which of the three models (Catleap, Achieva, Crossover) is the "best"? From quality of the chassis, to probability (or lack thereof) of dead/stuck pixels. Any thoughts? I own a colorimeter, so a little color shift isn't a...

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    Whoa, I didn't know about that! Honestly, a high-quality *VA panel might make me just as happy (if not more) than an IPS. We have a huge mix of high-end monitors where I work, including VA, high-end TN, and IPS, and the black levels of VA almost make me give them the nod over any IPS I've seen...

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    Yeah I agree. One can hope though :). I expect that the lack of a bezel is decoupled by any requirements from 120 Hz.

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    Probably at first, but LCD tech just seems to only be getting cheaper. The hard-ceiling seems to be about $1k, which I'd happily pay for such a monitor- assuming it had a MILD AG coating, display port, and low input latency. No-bezel would be nice too (like the LG DM92 that they showed off at...

    Isn't LG coming out with next-gen IPS soon that will be faster? I dunno about you guys, but I'd pay 2X for a solid A+ IPS (0 dead/stuck pixels, or BLB) that I can run at 120 Hz, legitimately.

    S27A850T

    All LCDs can "burn-in". I have a Dell VA panel from 2007 that has it pretty bad at times. The only way I've found to clean it up is to leave the panel OFF for an extended period of time. I discovered this when I was trying to get rid of burn-in with RGB slide screensavers, leaving WHITE on for...

    S27A850T

    This model (and the D model) are now virtually impossible to find in the US. I wonder if this has anything to do with the incoming wave of new IPS tech that will be hitting in the 2nd-half of this year. Perhaps Samsung is busy working on 2nd-gen PLS?

    Monitors make me sad... Gaming on 120hz or IPS panel?

    Are there any new models coming out in 2012 that look promising? I currently have a relatively old Dell 24" 1920x1200 VA panel that has done well for itself, but it has a pretty bad blob of image retention right in the top center (unusual for an LCD, I know). I've been wanting to replace it...

    S27A850T

    I'm interested in this monitor but I live in the US. The "D" model seems to be hard to find, and I can't find the new "T" model anywhere. Anyone have any ideas on when it may show up on the likes of Amazon?

    Samsung s27a850d impressions.

    SA850 *T*? What is this variant? Does this explain why all of the SA850 *D* models seem to be no longer in stock from the major resellers? What's going on here?

    Apple 27" LED Cinema Display

    Yeah I understand. Please let us know how the second one turns out. I'm thinking of getting mine through Amazon- price seems right... even better than the Apple discount I get through my company (after tax). Anyone try to return this thing through Amazon? Any issues?

    Apple 27" LED Cinema Display

    Man, I really want this display so hearing about your issues is frustrating. Any chance that your yellow tint issue is related to the glue that they often use in their glass-covered screens? I remember the iPad (or was it the iPhone 4?) that had a lot of people complaining about yellow haze that...
