LED is just a type of backlight. They're still "LCD" monitors. You're referring to CCFL, no?

i got my 30" monitor for its resolution really. not necessarily its "color". in my opinion ips color and viewing angles is overblowing considering the panels don't produce sharper text compared to tn panels.
the zr30w uses an average power of 130W, and 140W with a white background.


one monitor isnt too much of a bother but i have 5 monitors and all use about 370W total which is a lot.

i am a gamer so i would highly prefer the more hz version
so to sum it up, i need this monitor to have
hit atleast 85hz @ native res
no glass?
display port
the description an technical stuff is in korean language
can anyone give me a direct link for the trusted seller(preferably @ ebay and under $400) of the monitor that i am looking so i could get one for myself

If you are pc gamer order the
CATLEAP Q270
D-DVI ONLY
NON TEMPERED.

which ever seller you wish. The most recommended is Dream-seller but i believe most are reliable. Go for the lowest price good feedback

Hello Gentlemen. Thought I was signed up for this forum but apparently I wasn't. Just thought I would share my experience through out this transaction and the monitor itself.


Just ordered the Catleap from the seller (DCsamsungmall). I ordered today and got confirmation it will be here between March 14th-17th, But that seems too good to be true.

Totaled to be $372.00 Shipped

Once it arrives I will gladly be sure to post an update.
If all is well, Ill order another. biggrin.gif

Hi Guys,

I do not game but I do a lot of video editing.
Is this a good monitor for me? I am worried about the glossy screen because I currently use a matte screen right now.
Please let me know what is the best model to get for video editing users like me. Thanks!

The ones with DisplayPort are above $700 and not worth the hassle IMO. Just get an HP for $100 more with 3 years warranty if you need DisplayPort.

I meant that the LED backlight will reduce color accuracy; LED monitors are just LED-LCD.

I'm about to leave the country, so I may not be able to answer any questions about the monitors anytime soon (international data rates are insane). There's plenty of people an info in this thread though, I'll work on the first post when I get back.
