Auria 27" WQHD 2560x1440 LCD Monitor $399.99 B&M @ Micro Center

Quote from covertfantom : Are there any other reviews on this? Are the extra outputs enough to justify the extra $100 I'll be spending for the MicroCenter version (as opposed to a CatLeap?)

I think so, although I've already got a catleap that I'm very, very happy with.

I need another monitor like this, and since I'll be going to a laptop once ivy bridge gets going (since they've opened up the TDP to allow for laptops to become much more powerful with add'l cooling), I'll need one with a Display Port since those are showing up on laptops these days.

You can always use a DP-->Dual-Link DVI adaptor, but I prefer to not use converters/adaptors if possible. Too much opportunity for problems.

Only thing I don't like is the design... o well

i have a catleap bought from ebay for 350 flat. it works on my mac mini with thunderbolt "i had to buy a dual dvi cable for my mac" also it works on my pc which has a 560 ti card and the graphics on this thing are stunning! Yes its from Korea but the quality is excellent got it in about 5 days as well! THis deal is also good but if u are hard for cash get the catleap i really dont know much about this monitor here.

Man, if I had known about catleap a month ago I would have picked one up for $250 in Korea.

I'm hoping to learn more about this Auria monitor. Might be worth the 2-hour drive to MC this weekend.

take that Retina display! heh jk jk

I'm happy with the TV i've got at home (i know i know, this is a monitor), but i wonder if i can convince my boss to pick up the tab for work...yeah, prolly not

i bet games would be insane on this...i bet games would be hilarious trying to render them from a AMD C-50 APU

This is certainly tempting! I didn't know monitors with this kind of resolution could be had for such a low price..

I'll post some impressions tonight. I'm picking mine up in about 2 hours.

Does anyone happen to know about the response time? MC didn't list it on their site. I am right near a Microcenter, but I don't want to drop $400 on a monitor that isn't good for gaming.

Like Samsung and LG?

Tax and shipping kills this for me

Quote from timmaahh236 : This is a great deal, but people will QQ because it's Microcenter and not everyone has a B&M near them. Shipping is also $38. Thanks OP

Sales tax in Houston is $33
