Thanks, this is what I am hearing and why I am asking. Do you know if anyone has measured these numbers? I saw there is a youtube video but then all the comments below say he did it wrong and his numbers are meaningless.

same here
Edit: It's too cool/blue. I prefer ACD color profile.

Right now I have my computer on my old monitor using DVI and my PS3 using an adjacent HDMI port for the same monitor. Is the input lag so different between the two models (Q270 multi vs. Q270) that I should get the Q270 hook it up to my computer only and try to put my old monitor and the PS3 somewhere else in the house?
this is the info I was referencing
you will need to google translate the page from german to english

QH300 Shimian excerpt from part 7 of the prad review via google translate
After using the calibrated display for a few days, I'm really liking it. It took this long to get used to the dimmer display with a warmer white point. I recommend it!
I'm sure the people you play with aren't missing you at all right now.
Do you seriously expect anything to make it all the way from Korea to New Jersey in 2-3 days?
hopefully there isnt any dead pixels when it arrives to u
And it already arrived... took about 48 hours to get to me more or less...
hooked up and WOW.. I will be getting a second no question about it.
Got the Crossover q27-P from AW..
AW shipping and quality is the best .. one day from korea to US and no dead pixels
Did you buy the pixel perfect monitor?
I dont think anyone can who the best vendor for good panels is with any real confidence or data beyond anecdotal evidence at this point
Thanks! Anecdotally who provides better panels with less backlight bleed and less uniformity. AW claims their panels are A1 grade while say BCC claims A- .... trying to figure out if A1 is better than A-

Panels are all the same. The manufacturer of the item picks the panel, not the eBay seller.
AW is not screwing around with shipping, lol.

I received my Crossover from Bigclothcraft and this is how DHL delivered. What should I do? I already sent BCC an email.
If thats the case, why do the prices vary so much .... 290 to 400 for non pixel perfect non scaler monitors?
For example I could buy a Potalion for 300 from Bcc or an Achieva from AW for 340 .... are they equivalent? BCC says unto 15 dead pixels and AW says unto 3 .... thats what made me think. Else I would just go buy the cheapest one and buy 3yrs square trade for mental peace
They are eBay sellers. They set their prices mainly based on price from the manufacturers and how much demand is for the different monitors. The only monitor that might justify a higher price is the Crossover, since that uses metal not plastic casing.
The best sellers are BCC, ta_planet and green-sum, going by ratings.
AW has high ratings, but mostly in beauty products and other womanly things. Those three above have tons of positive reviews with the sheer amount of monitors they have sold. I'd personally go for them first.

I opened the box and hooked up the monitor. So far everything is working fine. No dead or stuck pixels. Went with the Apple color profile and adjusted the monitor contrast and brightness thru the Nvidia Control Panel. Kudos to BCC. All for only $350.
Do any of the "new crop" of monitors (those that didn't seem to exist when this thread got started like the FSM and the Qnix, Potalion, and Imon) have AG? The Davi that was confirmed to have AG is long gone. The FSM here seems to have photos that show an AG coating, but then it also claims "super clear screen" and shows some images that I think are trying to depict that the monitor has a glossy screen.
Honestly, I just don't understand all the AG hate in this thread. All the monitors I've ever used have one, and I just don't see what all the fuss is about. I bought an LG plasma TV last fall, and it has a glossy screen, and the damn thing is completely unwatchable when there is daylight. Even if it didn't cost more than I paid for the TV to get enough blinds to block the enormous window that faces it, there are six other windows in the room and you would still be able to see your own reflection better than the image on the TV. It'd be one thing if the glossy provided some sort of benefit (like dozens in this thread have claimed), but at least as far as the TV goes, I'm just not seeing any.
My office is the same way. There is a large window behind me and I like having a nice, bright office. The AG coating on my current monitor does everything I want it to and nothing I don't. No AG = completely unusable monitor.
It actually rather amuses me. Folks cringe and wince at the very thought of so much as one stuck pixel, and then they post pics of their monitor in which the entire room (and sometimes the photographer) is clearly visible.
If anyone has bought one of the "new" monitors and can confirm that it has AG, I'd appreciate that information.

I've been following this thread since its inception with interest, even moreso the past month as my trusty Soyo has developed some bad burn-in and needs to be retired. However, I will never bite until a non-glossy model is available. It's such a shame to pass up what seems an unthinkable deal, but glossy = dealbreaker, for the reasons you so correctly laid out.
That being said, I kind of understand the hate people have for bad AG. Whatever I have on my Soyo 24" M-VA panel is absolutely perfect, and would never bother anyone unless they were looking for it. However, my friend got an IPS model recently (I believe HP ZR24w?), and I admit to being slightly shocked when I sat down in front of it for the first time. I scoffed at all the violent AG hatred on here for years... and then I saw what it's actually like on some of these current IPS panels in-person. Suffice it to say, I'm about as reluctant to pick up a ZR24w as I am one of these glossy Catleaps.

The comparable 27" Dell U27 has extremely harsh AG for the pixel pitch it has. That's all there is to it. Plus, LG are adamant in making some of the harshest, sandpaper like AG there is out there for the larger IPS displays, so it's no wonder we're sick of it and going glossy instead. At least you can control lighting.
... ye obviously if you cant controll the light and having the sun directly peeking at your TV or your monitor, glossy will suck.. but thats not the point. Glossy owns AG coating where you can controll your light, like in your home. And thats what 95% people buying monitor will use it at.
