I know it's not the customer service that you may be used to, but I think that is a very valid thing for the seller to want you to do. You have to realize how much it costs to ship these things back, and I don't see a big deal with them wanting to make sure it isn't something that is very minor, because they couldn't sell these things for us for this cheap if they were having to eat large shipping costs to return a monitor that may have a $5 problem and then having to send out a second monitor. You are talking about probably damn near $400 in shipping costs alone at that point, which is more than you paid for the monitor. I'm not harping on your or criticizing you, I think with these monitors we also have to look at it from the sellers point of view and asking you to try with another power adapter isn't a big request. If anything you could ask him to refund you for the power adapter. Whether or not that will fix the issue, I have no clue, but it's worth him trying to save return shipping and saving you down time on a monitor.

I think you might have been responding to my earlier post and quoted the wrong post. If so, I definitely have no issues getting a second power adapter to verify proper functionality of the item. My complaint would only be that the onus should be on the seller to ship out a replacement power adapter, particularly if they also make the claim that the power adapter is faulty. It should not be my responsibility to hunt ebay for a 4pin 24v power adapter and bring another party into the picture. I don't want to have to ship the thing back either, but it should be as simple as: "We both agree the power adapter is over heating and seems to be the issue. I'll send another one out to you. If you still have issues there may be something faulty with the monitor internally as well." That would be my way of dealing with it at least. It's not something individual sellers can do really, but with a bulk retailer, you know they have plenty of power adapters laying around or at least are in the same country as the company that supplies them.

I agree that the seller should arrange a new part for you. Do you not have any local stores that you can go to? I don't know if you are from the United States, but Radioshack will have what you need for sure. I'd definitely ask for a refund for the part you have to buy extra.

That's my plan. I'm just not very optimistic of getting one. I don't mind horribly because of the fact that the monitor was such a solid deal for the price, assuming a new power adapter fixes it. It's just kind of annoying.

My father got his Achieva QH270-Lite from dreamseller in perfect condition, no dead pixels, no color issues, works fine.

You can see the BIOS and windows 7 loading screen and all that on the monitor, the computer he is using with it has a ATi Radeon HD 3650 1GB (lol).

Anyone had issue of flickering or something similar?
Like,after few hours of use a good part of the screen starts on going like fuzzy\lines distorted. But if I turn off the screen for few mins,it gets back to normal
Power brick doesn't feel too hot,don't have a 2nd cable to try atm

Being a 1080p panel this is the perfect choice for console and TV users. It shouldn't have any input lag and it has plasma like black levels.

The review is linked to a 1080p model. But if you look on Ebay under Bigclothcraft the Potalion is a 27" IPS 1440p screen. It looks to be new and Bigclothcraft offers it perfect pixel for $330.

Ah, figured you just missed that part rolleyes.gif That one looks to be the same as the rest, the specs are definitely the same panel the other ones use. So if you like it, go for it thumb.gif

Yeah I noticed it in the review right after I posted. But I was too lazy to edit it and hoped people would look to ebay haha.

Yeah I messaged Bigclothcraft to see if he knew if it was the same panel, and what his perfect pixel policy is.

I like the bezel on this more than the Catleap and Shimian, and its almost as good as the Crossover, but much cheaper. It is also likely that I will get a new stand for the monitor anyway.
