I was wondering the same thing and came across this(it is in Korean). If you scroll all the way to the bottom someone asked about the panel and there was a response that said "Hi-res s-ips glare panel is correct. Thank you." I don't know how accurate this is, but I asked bigclothcraft about it a few minutes ago probably wont get a response for a while as it is around 1 am in Korea (will post when I do though).

Technically, yes. You may have to mod the casing if the boards aren't the same dimensions, but they all use the same panel and same backlights.

IMO the perfect pixel guarantee is crap. Just buy the cheapest monitor option and PM the guy to check for dead pixels, that's what a lot fo people are doing. And the PPI is so high on these monitors you will barely notice a small black dot, especially in gaming.

Ok, in that case what makes a normal catleap better than the PCBank or others? Why are people paying extra for catleaps?

Stands/looks and the ability to overclock, BCC told me all use the same panel, which is why I went with a cheap one with a perfect pixel guarantee (all the stands look ugly, and I don't think my 6850 xfire is strong enough to get over 60fps).
