But in all seriousness, I'm very much enjoying my Achieva Shimian IPSB (Tempered glass)

which ebay buyer did you get it from?

Excellent monitors, though I had to get used to having so many pixels with three of these.

I have an Achieva Shimian that I bought for $400. It's a beautiful 27" display with a ridiculous resolution. I think they're selling for $350 now. Quite the steal if you're okay with the fact that there's no warranty for dead pixels or anything.

It looks like these "catleaps" are finally going to be sold officially, with warranties, backed by a large company. LG has announced they're about to release a series of reasonably priced IPS monitors.

LG makes the screen in this Dell and most IPS monitors. I have two 2412Ms, but am waiting for the pricing on the LG IPS4 series before I buy another. Their press release makes it sound as though they're going to be competitively priced with TN screens. Since LG makes the screens, they can charge what they like. Given that 27" TN's can be had for $250, this seems worth waiting for.

"LG's IPS4 series will first become available in Asia in May followed by Europe and North America in the coming weeks."

msrp is still going to be in the 500-600 for a 27" though. it will be awhile before prices come down to south korean levels unfortunately.

Maybe you're right, but high quality 27" TN screens are rarely more than $350.

LG say they want to be price competitive with TN - $500 to $600 isn't price competitive, $400 would be. Other monitor manufacturers couldn't bring down prices that low, but since LG actually makes the screens, they can charge whatever they like.

If you search, you can find the "pixel perfect" monitors on ebay where the seller checks the monitors before shipping them to you to confirm no dead pixels. I got a the Achieva Shimian pixel perfect guaranteed monitor for 399 recently, and tagged on a 3 year square trade warranty for an extra 53 bucks.

All this said, the monitor is great. The stand is a little cheap, but this monitor has the mount holes on the back (75x75 or 100x100, I don't recall which) so you can get a nice aftermarket stand for it.

Keep in mind that some of these monitors do not have a board installed on them, so you need a dedicated video card with dual link dvi to work with them (a gtx 460 or HD 6850 for example).

My problem now is that I want to add a second GTX 680 to my setup and get two more of these monitors....I obviously will never be happy with my life.

i had a deal alert for this monitor for weeks...

was gonna buy when it dropped to this price

then i got impatient and bought a crossover 27led-p for 400 and glad i missed on the ultrasharp deal.

27", 2560x1440 ips goodness. no frozen pixels! sweeet... puts my other ultrasharp to shame :/

still a great deal
