Nice upgrade

Posted

Pros: Great overall image, inexpensive, no noticeable input lag or ghosting, sleek design, glossy screen

Cons: Very small recess in the back makes it tricky for plugging in and tightening the DVI cable

Coming off of TN panel 24" 1080p, this monitor is huge bump up in both screen size and image quality while not costing a fortune. The casing is very sleek, unlike on some other Koren displays which tend to have quite thick bezels. Someone complained about the stand being flimsy, but i find it sturdy and once you have it sat on your table the stand feels as solid as any. My only complaint about this monitor so far is that the DVI cable was particularly tricky to plug in and tighten caused by the very narrow recess in the back of the monitor. It also features a pair of speakers on the back and an audio in, which I have no use for, but the option is there. Regarding the purchase from...

Big change

Posted

Pros: cheap, good viewing angles, decent design

Cons: chance to get hot pixels

Hi guys, The monitor is solid, bright and huge. There's no ghosting and the response times are good. It's a big change coming from a 16 inch laptop monitor. There's just one thing that bothers me: The graphics card I bought (HD7970) is not enough to make games like far cry 3 run at maximum settings on the QHD resolution, but that's not the monitors fault. I guess it's time to save up for crossfire. Price for Belgium: I got the perfect pixel version of this monitor for 309 euro and 34 euro custom charges. Making up total of about 345 euro (461,5652 USD). For the ones doubting of not buying one, I'd say have no doubt. It's a very good deal for the price. And if you're worried about...

Gorgeous

Posted

Pros: sharp, vibrant colors

Cons: glossy, lustrous surface

The QH270-Lite (IPSBS) has a glossy surface like that of Apple's Thunderbolt. It's like a plasma TV, you can see reflections. With 2560x1440, texts are small but sharp and crisp. I changed my dpi from 96 to 120 which made the text larger. As regards web-viewing, you can use the zoom adjustment. Mine is being driven by a lowly Radeon HD 5450 along with a single core Athlon with dual-link only connection...no speaker...three functioning buttons: 1)on/off 2)brighten, 3) darken, and no OSD. Colors can be adjusted through graphics controller. Right out of the box, it's just gorgeous, blacks are black and colors are vibrant. I comb through all the solid, desktop, background, colors with a...

Best you can do for the money

Posted

Pros: Inexpensive, looks great, sturdy, perfect size, matches my case, very fast shipping

Cons: Backlight bleeding, some risk involved in purchase, ships from Korea.

I bought this monitor about a week ago. So far I LOVE it. The display is nice and large, the resolution is amazing, and it has great color. The monitor shipped amazingly fast for me. It arrived at my door in 3 days, which was a day ahead of schedule according to my tracking information. The only problem I have had is quite a bit of back light bleeding around the edges of the screen. Its most prominent in the corners. If the back light is turned up past 50% it makes it very annoying while watching videos. Its less apparent in games, but I typically have to turn my brightness all the way down. This is the only reason I docked the half flame. Also it should be noted I have heard a lot of...

Very good monitor with excellent value

Posted

Pros: Panel: great colors, contrast, high resolution. Sturdy stand.

Cons: No osd

Hello, i got this monitor for 300$ + 70$ of custom charges (import to Italy) but you can gen it for 40-50$ less depending what store you choose. Shipping took 4 working days and the box was well protected and not damaged at all. This is a 27" IPS panel with a very high 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. It has very good colors, i noticed no ghosting. Given the price, which is less than half that of the cheapest comparable monitor available on the market, i must give this monitor a 5/5
