So far no one has reported any dead pixels. If anyone had them I am sure they would have been screaming , especially with a new product. These are Grade A panels, and I am not sure Overlord is selling grade A panels. However there is more to the price than just panels. It is also about the electronics and the warranty. Every company that sells monitors has a Pixel Policy. That means there is a potential for dead Pixels even in Grade A+ monitors.
Is the supposed lag a function of the speed of the monitor or the fact that the monitor does not have On Screen Display(OSD) and/or multiple inputs. How many people can really take advantage of this low lag? How does not having a OSD convert to a persons reflexes? An old advertising trick is to exploit a “flaw” as an attribute. We have had OSD’s on monitors for a long time without it affecting lag time or our reflexes.
The $429/$449 from Nixeus was always stated as an introductory price. I personally am surprised that they did not go directly to $499 immediately after the first shipment sold out(and rather quickly I might add as well as the second shipment). Read post #36 and you will see that the laws of economics will prevail. I do not see the Yamakasi dropping in price. A new market has now been opened for Grade A panels and there are only so many panels left after the companies that are looking for Grade A+ have what they need.. Those graded as Grade A panels have found a new market so the better ones will be shipped to Nixeus and other companies that want to COMPETE for Grade A panels. The Grade A- panels will be fewer in number so if they are fewer in number you will most likely be guaranteed to get panels with defects because the good ones will be sorted out as Grade A panels. Therefore the actual price on the Korean monitors most likely will go up or stay the same, The real price on the Grade A- monitors(which combines the quality of the product) is higher because there is little to no chance of getting a Grade A panel at a reduced price(from a company that is basically trying to purchase and sell Grade A- panels), Ultimately each person has to then decide what he/she can live with. Personally. I have purchased 3 Nixeus monitors because I want the up-front ability to get Grade A panels for a phenomenal price.
I do understand you, just disagree with you. Are you saying that Dell & HP use a higher grade panel than APPLE does then? These are the panels that Apple uses are they not? Look at the Yamakasi promo material. There is also a monitor called the Auria sold by Micro Center. It looks the same, and has the same inputs, but it is different electronically. LG is the company that sells the 2560*1440 panels. Some they put an anti-gloss coating on, but it is still the same panel. Dell & HP specify AG coating on the ones they purchase.
Not too long ago they had to use shady misleading marketing tactics to try to get the attention of California Schools to become their customers for their consulting businesses known as Scribner & Smith and to use their mandated accounting systems services provided by their company MAX8550:
