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)?

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.

I personally prefer a big screen over multiple screens, if only for the ability to place windows anywhere I want on my screen real estate. Bezel space is thus secondary for me.

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…

For what it's worth, Apple replaced my Retina iPad that had a single stuck pixel, and it was only noticeable on a dark background in a dark room. While it's a small screen, the number of pixels is about the same as on the 27" Cinema display. What their official policies say and what they actually do are pretty different, it seems.

Looks like these are back ordered until March. Bummer. I was considering jumping on the 27" Korean monitor bandwagon a few months ago when it was all the rage and decided to wait and now it seems like the prices have gone up across the board, like monitors that were just about $300 before are now $450+.
