my achevia qh270 lite arrived a few days ago - looks perfect to me and I am very happy.

the power brick says its rated for 110-220 and all I had to do was switch out the cord for a US plug one (the one from my old monitor is working fine)

The one downside so far is that the vesa mount on the back only had two screws in it (for four holes) and the screws are very short. My ergotron arm has 4 screws but they are much longer (too long to screw in all the way on the qh270)

Still its a dam nice monitor and I am very happy with it.

I bought mine last night for 308.99 from bigclothcraft for 308.99 and today I clicked on the same link and its selling for 297.90 . Would I be able to get the difference back since its been less than 24 hours?

Edit: Does a ICC-profile for the crossover work on a Achieva Shimian?

Diablo looks fine, and all the other games I've tried so far. You can use any ICC profile, but many don't look very good. I found that my Dell Ultra Sharp profile looks best, followed by a profile someone made here for their Catleap.

It's really a shame my laptop couldn't even dream of pushing 2560x1440.

I have a hard enough time pushing 1080p -- I mean it's playable, maybe decent but it's nowhere near great.

I will definitely pick one of these up next time I build a rig. Possibly with a few 7970's or 680's. One can dream right?!

Gentlemen!

Would any one please tell me how well this monitor handles motion? I have a U2311H, and I'd like to compare it to this - please.
Or even compared to the U27/30, as a reference point. I know they are worse than mine.

Thanks!

Bigclothcraft reimbursed me the $11 price difference, so if anyone notices a price change within 24 hours then just send the seller a message and they should do it for you.
