I bought an ACHIEVA Shimian QH270-IPSI 27". I hooked it up to a mid-2011 27" iMac using a mini-display port to dvi-d adapter. It is in dual screen mode. The iMac detects the monitor and its 2560x1440 resolution and let's you drag windows over to it, but the problem is nothing shows up on the QH270 monitor. The monitor is slightly backlit but totally blank. In my imac control panel in the display section when you select "Gather Windows" it shows a window for DVI monitor but doesn't have any resolutions listed.

What do I need to do to get this monitor working on this iMac? Even if it's complicated, please tell me. Thanks.

Green-sum went above and beyond in the communication department and while there was a slight delay in getting my monitor they communicated with me every step of the way, it shipped on the 14th and arrived at my home on Friday. The brightness of the monitor is a bit much coming from my ultrasharps but it's nice, really nice. It makes my other two look like they were giving me really dirty and dark picture quality.

That being said my monitor did arrive bubble wrapped, in three thick layers of it too. The stand seems sturdy enough but I think I'll be picking up a triple monitor stand soon, the three monitors with the bases take up a lot of space on my desk. It seems from the back of the monitor the stand has a single screw mounting point that could be removed so the arm of it wasn't on the monitor when mounted with the vesa points. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase, I wish there was a way I could buy a power block for a smaller additional fee with the monitor so I didn't have to use an adapter but that's just a QoL thing I'd like.


Performance, my games look absolutely beautiful. I can't even describe it. The colors are amazing and surprisingly moving from 1920x1200 to 2560x1440 I did not take a performance hit. My next step is to try and sell off my Ultrasharps and use that money to buy one or two more of these.
