Will running the Catleap at 60hz be the same as the ASUS but with a better picture?

I really cannot say since it has some to do with your GPU as well.  The monitor sure is pretty!

As I noted, it APPEARS to be that those of us who ordered over the Korean holiday weekend got screwed.

Man, sorry to hear that.  I purchased on February 29, the day before dreamseller took the day off (I think it was March 1), and still received mine.  Not sure why you are having issues.  Again, sorry to hear about your problems.

The Q270s are all stripped down versions of higher priced monitors and none have an OSD (other than the multi-input Q270 of course).  I doubt you will see Q270s with standard OSDs since Yamakasi has two other lines with OSDs (w and w/o glass).

With the ability to create custom resolutions and performing the color tricks listed in this thread I really haven't missed not having an OSD to be honest.  Is it worth $40 for an OSD if you don't want the extra inputs (or don't need them?)

You could ask one of the sellers if they will stock the Flawless Precision 2701 (w or w/o glass) as they have OSDs.  The Precision 2702s also come with OSDs.

I am torn between the two different brands plus the possibility of Crossover later this week :/

Mine had the tilt mentioned and the stand, while it appeared online to be more robust than the Achieva, was not so great (although the Achieva stand is crap as well).  However, the stand wasn't horrible just not as sturdy as I am used to coming from having all my monitors mounted on a multi-monitor stand.

The Crossovers look promising, but it will all depend on the model that the sellers offer.  I think we will see Crossovers that are exactly like the Catleap and Achieva.  The Crossovers with the aluminum trim, solid mounted stand, and white backs appear to be the high-end versions, but of course I could be totally wrong!

Another model that uses the same panel, just with a different bezel. Some of the Crossover models have black front bezels with white backs and what appear to be more robust stands (better mounts/more flexibility in the stand - tilt, swivel, raise/lower).  We will see what gets offered.

For those that are interested, here is the site for the Crossover monitors - CLICKY.

Like I said above, I have no idea which of these will be up for sale.  

EDIT:  Actually looking at the site more closely I wouldn't be surprised if models 27QLED and 27QLED-P are the ones offered for sale.  They seem to match Achieva and Catleap the closest.  These look good especially if you're into that Apple white kind of look (on the back of a monitor that no one will see, but hey no one said style made any sense.)
