Power supplies get toasty after 10 minutes much like others stated. Stands are wobbly also as stated previously. OS X booted right up right at 2560x1440. No display issues on a BFG 9800 GTX OC.
450
I actually own 2 27" Apple Cinema Displays and the panel looks pretty good but the viewing angles are not as good. Obviously the stand doesn't even come close. But for what you save ... I'll take it.

I had the same issue thinking that one of the monitors were lower. But in reality, they were actually just off tilt. The panel it self tilts where the screen connects with the stand, and its rather hard to get both screens to align correctly. Once you manage it though, your screens will actually be aligned.

Congratulations! I really think these are the perfect monitors for an osx86 build since the new models aren't suited much for OC'ing. They are very close to the quality of the cinema displays at a much lower cost just like one's homebrew!

Could someone measure the height of the monitor not including the stand?
Trying to figure out how I'll need to set mine up, should be ordering soon....

I think I'm about to remove the stands and put them on a dual mount. I'm thinking about using this one, Mount-It! Articulating Dual Arm Computer Monitor Desk Mount for monitors up to 27".

Anybody have any tips not stated in the guide about removing the stand? Things to watch out for, etc?

I stuck a piece of cardboard under the side of the right monitor to get it to bend inward. It lined right up then, so you were correct.

I checked with infrared the temperature of the power supplies. Left is 122F and Right was 125.5F. Both spiked +/- 2 degrees but that seems to be where they top out. They cool off after you go into suspend mode so thats nice. Does have that freshly hot electronics smell .. Mmmmmmm

Hi. I purchased my first Catleap Q270 that I'm trying to run it on a GeForce GTX 560ti 448 core card. Unfortunately I cannot get any picture to display. All I get when I turn it on is a solid green light and an illuminated black screen (with one stuck green pixel). Here's what I've tried:

- Using two different dual-link DVI cables, one of which came with my monitor (both work on my old monitor).

- Using different ports on my graphics card.

- Selecting the screen resolution in control on my 1080p monitor and moving my mouse over the "detect" button, unplugging the 1080p monitor and plugging the cable into the Catleap and pushing "detect."

- Doing the same thing as above but using the Nvidia control panel.

- Rebooting with my monitor on and my monitor off.

- Plugging an HDMI adapter into the Catleap and running video with an HDMI cable.

- Loosening the screws in the bottom of the Catleap's base. I read somewhere that it may work...

Any other suggestions? I thought this would be a simple plug-and-play but that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks!

Got mine today. Started up fine no dead pixels, thus far but the text is pretty garbled. I'm running an Radeon 4890. I'm assuming my video card doesn't have enough muscle? Any suggestions on a $200 card that would be decent for gaming? Of course when I try and post a screen grab the text looks clear!

I'm assuming this would be a great replacement?

or a XFX Double D HD-695X-CDFC Radeon HD 6950 or XFX FX-785A-CNFC Radeon HD 7850.

Thoughts??

My CPU is an i7 920 and 8 GB

Anyone have success with this card? Have you tried a safe boot with the Catleap attached?

Go to your GPU Control Panel and set the resolution again. (Possibly forcing it to a lower res then back up)
My Asus 120hz monitor does this occasionally when I swap between GPUs and dual screen settings.


(Also, thanks for the info rollOver)
