Just got a DP to dual DVI adapter for $35 shipped through an auction I won! Probably coulda got it cheaper as there was only one other guy bidding but I was doing a past paper and just put a max bid of $50 on incase I forgot (and I did!).

Gonna get the tempered glass model but I'm in no hurry as I'm really underprepared for exams so I'll get it at the end of next week when I've done all but the easiest exam.

I order a Shimian QH270-Lite from TA-Planet on Sat, it already shipped out this morning. I ended up getting a pixel perfect one shipped for $363. I can run 2 of these off my GTX 670 though can't i? If it's as good as it sounds will probably order another one next week. It said it comes with a a 120/240 power supply, so will i need anything else for this?

Thanks for all the info here, can't wait for this wish it was here tomorrow for Diablo 3 in 2560x1440 reso!

the 'pixel perfect' monitors can still have imperfections. My understanding is that they will have less than 5 dead pixels and the reason people get it is so they don't have to deal with shipping back models with more defects than 5 pixels or 1 in the center. I ordered a non pixel perfect QH270-IPSB from ta_planet on saturday as well, so we will have to compare

No.. Pixel perfect means no dead/stuck pixels.

@Polarity, their are listing on ebay labeled "pixel perfect". They must check it before hand, and it costs $50 extra or something.

The Pixel perfect ones, whether it's sold as a pixel perfect or as an additional option (usually costs like $60) has/will be tested at the manufacturer for dead pixels and etc.

Not even Dell with their excellent Ultrasharp line of pro monitors garuntees against 0 dead pixels.

Perfect pixel is a no bright pixel defect check that they perform at the factory (supposedly). You can and will get dead pixels (ie, black on a bright background) at the same rate more or less as everyone else.

Thats interesting because if you search "pixel perfect catleap" on ebay; the subtitle says this:
"★Perfect Pixel=Zero Dead Pixel /S-IPS Panel Wideangle ★"

That seems to me that there would be zero dead pixels.
