There's a blog post about them here:

I have a Crossover 27Q (similar to this, probably sourced from the same place as other brands on ebay: Catleap, Shimian, wherever Monoprice is getting them, etc). Gorgeous minimalist metallic shell. Swivel display. Adjustable height. $375 from Ebay. Pixel perfect. I can't exaggerate how amazing these displays are. They're the same LG panels used in Apple Cinema displays at nearly a third of the cost. It's wonderful t…
If I can ask a few questions: 1) Are Ebay/alibaba retailers trustworthy? I'd hate to be shipped a lemon (assuming they even ship outside the US). 2) Why must it be DisplayPort? Doesn't it support HDMI/DVI?
>> Are Ebay/alibaba retailers trustworthy?
I think that most people don't give bad reviews even after a bad experience. You might expect a bad experience once out of 50 times with a seller having a 98% rating, but I have found it to happen much, much more often.
Dear display industry, Please please please increase vertical resolution. I look back on the days of 16:10 fondly and wish we could end up back there or better.
Get the Asus PA248Q. It's a calibrated IPS monitor, 24" 1920x1200 (i.e. 16:10). I have one and it's great.
Honestly, I hate using my HP now. It's a great monitor, but the 2560x1440 resolution on the Asus is amazing. Side by side, the Asus knocks the HP out of the park.
TLDR: It is not worth the downgrade in screen size and resolution just to get a 16x10 aspect ratio. You will never regret going for the 2560x1440 monitor instead.

Sure, I'd prefer 2560x1600 than 2560x1440, but it really isn't a big deal.

What I'd be curious about is when PC laptops with equivalent resolution are going to arrive?
High-DPI doesn't work in Windows (officially it does work, but if you try it you'll find that every app is broken), so that's effectively an unsellable product.
Am I the only one who would rather see more work around thinner bezels for better multi-mon experiences? Seeems like all the large panels have at least an inch to inch and a half bezel space; two next to each other and the non-lit area get obstructive.
From Monoprice on the warranty: "we are guaranteeing these monitor will have less than 5 dead pixels. [...] By comparison, the industry standard, even for industry leaders like Apple and LG, is 10 dead pixels or even more." Is this true? None of my Apple devices have ever had a dead pixel, but I always assumed that even one dead pixel would be enough to convince the Genius Bar to give me a replacement. Anyone have fi…
They're probably all LG panels under the hood[1]. Different resellers have different pixel policies, and they can be a bit hard to keep track of. On these size screens, Apple won't replace And in practice, if you complain well enough in the store, Apple may replace for you even if you're under the line. [1] When I say "they", I mean these 27" IPS panels, whether they're from Apple, Dell, HP, or some random Korean com…
What their official policies say and what they actually do are pretty different, it seems.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
1. I bought mine from green-sum on Ebay, no problems and his feedback is pretty spotless. 2. the Catleap range takes Dual-link DVI, which requires the powered adapter for (I use Apple's one for the MBP, and bought an extra minidisplayport -> displayport adapter for my work laptop).
So will a cheap mini displayport -> DVI adapter like this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&c... not work for one of these displays, coupled with a Macbook Air (2012)?
