No fear mongering here bro, just a simple fact. None of the legit Korean electronics stores will touch these brands. Take that or leave it.
Seems like you won't be purchasing one of these bad boys. My Crossover looks and feels pretty well built and the stand is equivalent to my Dell monitor's I've had before. I'm no graphics professional, but the screen with the gloss looks gorgeous to me. It's like looking at the ACD at Fry's electronics. Anyhow, the folks over at Overclockers.net sure seem to be loving these low end monitors from Korea and the majority of folks here as well.
The earliest post I could find on these monitors was in March 2012, so just 4 months ago. No reports yet of anyone that's owned one of these just out and out dying. There could very well be a report of one of these monitors blowing up someone's face at any moment, so if we see that, or not, will determine the longevity of these monitors.
Update 1: Well, looks like I may have spoken too soon. Seems like someone's Crossover has died after two months. http://www.overclock.net/t/1232496/...-p-27m-led-2720mdp-gold-led-monitor-club/1490
