So many options with weird naming schemes that make it difficult to decipher which is better.
I was thinking of replacing my HDTV since it's not working very well, for a larger size like 40". If I get a monitor instead, it would be smaller than my current 32" TV.
I can't decide which to get first.
These are 8-bit RGB panels, but do not have the capacity for hardware calibration. Being IPS they have good color precision, but are typically made inaccurate due to the lack of said calibration, which companies like dell would perform at the factory and provide the ability to re-correct the colors yourself over time. That is what you pay more for in a professional context. If you're doing amateur work or color accuracy is not important, these are a great deal. Look up reviews on the Apple cinema display for more details about this panel's performance.
It does (GTX 970). I'll be using the DP ports for my macbook which can drive 2 external monitors. One of the monitors will have VGA hooked up to a kvm box I use for my Linux servers when I need console access.
Pretty much the exact setup I have now, except I have two different brand and resolution monitors. One 20" 1680x1050 and one 21.5" 1920x1080.
I'm excited, got the shipping notification this morning. Bought a 2 monitor desk mount stand to free up desk space as well.
I think you will be inpressed with the difference.
Guess I should post an update. New monitors are great. Only minor annoyance is switching inputs is painfully slow.
As a bonus I upgrade my PS3 with my old 500GB PS4 HDD after upgrading that and now the PS3 is plugged into the HDMI port of one of the monitors. As if I needed access to expand my backlog even more.

Crossover 2795 is on sale for $270. Supposed to be non PWM and overclockable to 111-120.
I'm really thinking about this one.

Man, the no HDMI kind of hurts me. I like to plug my PS4/Bone occasionally. Although, I guess as this is 1440p, no real point.

Cool! Yeah the switchign is slow...I have two different 2560snow but I also have a third screen which I incororpate into a large mess of wires etc. ...I use a dual korean set up for the PC but send the action screen to my 50 inch plasma TV and bought an HDMI splitter so that all my consoles and the pC can use the 50 inch screen when I want to via remote control. THe remote control switcher cost almost $100 but it is worth it to me not to ahve to fiddle with inputs and wires...the only problem is that it REALLY slows down the inputs now even worse than before....still faster than fooling with wires though so I am happy.
Ordered that one last week. Arrived yesterday. Really happy with. Such a jump from my old 24 1080p TN panel. Found no dead pixels. Tried some OC. 120 makes problems. But 110 seems fine. Running it now at 96.
1440p IPS feels like a totally different world.

Agreed, I had a real shitty 24" 1080p cheap Acer model. This monitor is amazing. I'll overclock it to 96 soon. No dead pixels, arrived in three days. For $270 there is nothing better.
With shipping an custom fees I paid little more than 300. Getting a Vesa desk mount for it. Stand itself is not too bad. But I am missing the height adjustment.

I'm debating on a monoprice stand. right now I've just pushed the monitor up against my case so it's stable. But my goal is to get my case off my desk so I can have more room anyhow.

A Humanscale M8 arm goes for about $125 on Ebay right now... I got one a while back and I love it a lot, even though I don't adjust my monitor's position very often.
Actually, yeah, maybe a Monoprice arm would have saved me a few bucks and I wouldn't have lost too much out of it.
Can't comment on the Qnix. But I am using a Crossover @ 96Hz since August and still loving it.
The Qnix may use PWM. Crossover should be PWM free. Unless something changed since I bought mine.

I also have that Crossover running at 96fps. I tried for 110 using the timing from the other forum but I found my greys were turning into green flickers. So I put it back down. the monitor is amazing. I do have a little backlight bleed but I am slowly working it out with the paper trick.

So I'm thinking of getting one of these monitors. Any recommended models in the $250 range? Looks like I missed out on the Crossover 2795 deal.
Also, on Crossover's website they state that their monitors don't work with Apple computers. Why is that? I mainly need a monitor for office/school stuff and some PS4 usage.
Any advice/guidance is appreciated.

I believe the Mac issue is because of DVI. I think Macs support Dual Link. However, there are models with HDMI and DisplayPorts that should work.
The blog in the first post should be a good way to identify which model to go for.

The best place to buy these monitors seems to be ebay, for better or worse.
I've heard awesome things about Korean monitors, but seemingly an equal amount of issues and complaints as well. It never seemed worth the risk.
Then I saw the thread get bumped last night, that inspired me to do some research into the Korean monitor world. 12 hours later I have a Crossover 2795 QHD arriving on Friday. Super excited.

It's like this for $270ish you can get a 1440p IPS LG panel that can OC to 96 without issues at all.
What you get for $270. Some backlight bleed issues, Dual Link DVI only and software only color correction.
If you don't want any of those issues, go buy a $600 monitor.
Afaik you can not OC monitors with HDMI and DisplayPort.
If anyone is interested, New Egg has the QNIX QX2710 LED Evolution II for $210.

Are there any 23/24" models from these companies? I want to pair it with a 21.5" TN monitor.

These are 3 monitors I am considering. The first one isn't Korean of course, but it's probably the cheapest option. I was hoping to keep the price under US$150, but including import taxes, they might all end up closer to $200. Maybe I should just keep my Xmas money and see if I get employed next month.

I ordered the CrossOver 2795QHD (1440p IPS overclockable) last week. Will be here tomorrow.
Good thread: http://www.overclock.net/t/1555354/...licker-free-overclock-able-matte-1440p-ah-ips
Everyone has been able to run stable at 96hz, some have been able to OC to 110Hz.
Lots of great reviews. I was wanting a 27" 1440p IPS monitor. I think being able to OC is a good compromise between getting an IPS vs getting a 144Hz monitor at an affordable price.
Will update when I get it all setup. Coming from an old 21.5" Samsung POS. Should be good.

I know no-one's been here in a while but hey.
I'm really tempted by this monitor (Perfect Pixel Qnix QHD2730R), but I would really like something without PWM. Does anyone know whether Qnix have any monitors that don't use it?
Would something like a Crossover 2795qhd be better in terms of screen quality/overclocking/color reproduction? It would be mainly used for gaming, work and some light photo editing.
Any feedback from those who own one of the two?

Can't comment on the QHD2730R. You can see my opinion 2795QHD above. Nothing changed. Still happy with the purchase.
Use it mainly for Office and gaming.
Seems like you can't overclock the QHD2730R. If that's something you are interested in.
Another option may be the Crossover 27V or 27 Fast 144. Second one has 144Hz. No overclocking. But supports Free-Sync.

Arrived and tested up to 115Hz, pretty pleased, will probably just run it at 105 or 110Hz with timings on 2/2.
*Color columns occur above 105Hz on http://www.testufo.com/#test=frameskipping sad times. No skipped frames at those refresh rates at least?
Guess I'll sit at 96 to be safe.

Thread is kinda dead so I'll probably also ask in the PC building general as well but...
I got a Qnix 1440p 27 inch for $200. Upon arriving I checked the thing and it had absolutely no dead/stuck pixels but the top left corner is darker than the rest of the monitor.
Talked to the seller and he's offered a partial refund. I declined and after that he offered to increase it even more. Pretty much half off. So at that price I'm perfectly fine with the thing as is. Problem is: Does this type of issue get worse or is it just a shipping screw up?
Oh, and I'm not overclocking or anything really intensive/critical.

try sticking some folded small piece of paper between the bezel and the screen. Jam it up in there. It'll help some. Welcome to the lottery.
