Says the plug type is 'C' for Korea, so you'll need a converter to go from that type of plug to a US-style plug (or any other non-Korean type of plug).

The 27 inchers are not the same resolution. It's close but they are 16:9 format, 2560x1440 while this is 16:10, 2560x1600.

I got the U3011 for 1044 and I LIKE IT. A glass panel would be nice, prefer the glass to the matte finish.

These are A- grade panels from LG, same as the Catleaps. You must have more than 5 dead pixels in the peripheral areas or 1 dead pixel in the center before it's faulty, and there may be a chance of...

Can't speak for refrigerators because they require a lot of electricity. Pretty much all newer tvs should work in either voltage system. Is your TV old?

I had a Catleap (sold almost immediately) and backlight bleed is an understatement. It was so bad that the display did not have uniform color.

If a seller offers pixel perfect, it seems to me that would mean their "regular" monitors all have defects because the good ones have been cherry-picked away to be sold at higher cost.

Correct - this needs a 120VAC to 220VAC converter to work in the US of A.

It shouldn't need a converter, in the specs it's listed to run off 110 VAC. However, you will need an adapter.
