Playing a MMO WWII airplane sim on it at 1920x1080 and it looks great. The lack of antiglare seems to make up for any scaling. DO IT.

Tempered glass is even more reflective and often has dust specs trapped behind it, it isn't worth a $60 premium over the other $290 models imho.has anyone bought one with HDMI cable? they costs are like $430. ( Has HDMI. DL-DVI, D SUB, 2W speakers and stuff)
also there is version with tempered glass which is like $350 so was wondering if it's worth buying it or not.
Can't believe this. People are getting 2 for what I paid for one what, a month and a half ago? So frustrating.
he said 270 each not for both of them... unless you paid 540 for one.
Mind informing us (or just me) the seller who accepted your offer?
I have been tempted by these, but I am spoiled by my NEC 3090. I would probably hate getting one of these panels compared to what I have now
My buddy got his monitor yesterday, so far he thinks it's DoA... kinda' a bummer.
My two were out for delivery yesterday, but they required a signature. They were gonna' try to deliver last night but didn't make it for the re-delivery, so it's out for delivery now. Here's to hoping I got two fantastic monitors!
This would be correct... my grand total was $540 shipped.

He has/had "Make an Offer" enabled. How my negotiation went:
1) I originally offered $255 per unit, qty:1.
2) He/she declined and stated, "Discount only on multiple units".
3) I offered $260 per unit, qty:2 ($520 total).
4) He/she countered with $280 per unit, qty:2 ($560 total) and indicated that "this is as low as price can go".
5) I countered with $270 per unit, qty:2 ($540 total) and told him that's the most I could afford, and thanked him/her for his continued patience with me.
6) He/she accepted my counter-offer of $270 per unit within 10 minutes of my counter-offer, I paid 10 minutes after that and it's leaving South Korea less than 2 days later!
My buddy had less luck--he offered $270 and was promptly declined. He offered $280 and didn't hear back from the guy yesterday evening, so he's ready to cancel the offer and just buy one at $290, so negotiating is definitely YMMV!
I did notice in the feedback section that someone provided feedback and the price paid was listed as $286... not sure if it ever went that low as a "Buy it Now" price, but if not this could indicate that he/she has been knocking off at least a few dollars for those providing "reasonable" offers.
Are you trying to justify the exorbitant price you paid for your NEC? It was not worth it.
The parts inside the Korean monitors are actually decent. I can't vouch for the edge-lit backlight and it's longevity, but the individual boards are all known name brand stuff from MFR's that even NEC has used. Most manufacturers seem to choose from the same pool of commodity parts, but back it up with different warranties and levels of service.These 27" monitors are a good deal, but only if you plan on using them for less than 5 years. I doubt many of them will last longer than that.
Exorbitant? he probably purchased his 30" NEC before these Korean models rolled out. At that time $875 for 30" 2560x1600 was a hot deal backed up by a great warranty and customer service, he did extremely well imho.Are you trying to justify the exorbitant price you paid for your NEC?

Just to note, I have had my NEC 3090 for 3 years now. Still in perfect shape
As I said earlier, these 27" monitors are a good deal and very tempting. The only way I could justify purchasing them though is if I went with a 3 monitor setup. I am reluctant to do that since I would also have to purchase a good stand for each one since I would want to run them in portrait (4520 x 2560 FTW) Also, if I did that I would have no use for my 3090
Nice piece of information on your negotiations. Thank you.
I got my shimian monitor yesterday and it has 2 dead pixels right next to each other and a green stuck pixel. Ran some flashing color boxes on the pixels and its still there Otherwise it's a beautiful monitor...
It sometimes takes the stuck pixel software a lot of hours to work. I'd say i have a 2-out-of-3 track record in fixing them, whether it's a pixel massage, flicking them with my finger carefully using just a tiny bit of force, or using pixel software. I've done it with TN, IPS and VA panels.Yea the dead ones don't really bother me, in fact I barely notice them. The green pixel on the other hand makes it hard for me to enjoy this monitor. I've tried all those tips and so far nothing's worked...
Are you also referring to your experience with the smaller pixels on a 27" 2560x1440 display ?I have the exact opposite experience, if a pixel is stuck it is just bad IMO..
I speaking to pixels on LCDs in general.
do they talk back to you?
back on topic. i have these lcds in my cart on ebay trying to decide whether to pull the trigger or not.

But honestly, the pixels are so tiny on 2560x1440 displays that it's hard to spot them even with sharp vision, you have to purposely look for them, which makes them easy for me to ignore.
