Or i can take a chance and order one with glass and hope for the best.
Its so darn hard to decide, i may just put windows up side by side on my desktop for each of them and let my wife pic one when she gets up, just to get this over with.
EDIT: Does anyone here know if the glass will effect using a Datacolor Spyder4 Colorimeter to calibrate the display?

If it's 0 dead pixels and it's one you an OC (b model) then yeah dude...you can't beat that...

This link also says 6ms response time. As I said, if it's 2ms response time, it's not an IPS display.

And greensum just told me he can't check/verify which model numbers they're sending out so I can't request a B or a C version. And he said $60 for a factory checked panel. Still could have up to 4 bad pixels and be considered OK, despite having paid the extra $60. Don't think it's worth it since I don't think anyone has received a panel with 5 or more dead pixels anyway...

This really is an amazing deal, I've been trying to follow this thread and the Achieva/Catleap thread in the last 24 hours but so much has happened in such a short time with these that It'll probably take a week before I catch up with everything. I'm thinking about selling my 3 surround monitors and switching to one of these but like others I have a few questions I still need to get cleared up.

What does the Tempered Glass do and is it better to have it or not?

Can this monitor run a PS3 with a HDMI to DVI adaptor? and if so does the monitor (which i'm aware doesn't have an OSD) up-scale okay? The reason I ask this is I still need a monitor for my partner to play her PS3 on when im not on the PC so if this can't I may only be able to sell 2 of my 3 monitors.

Do I need any special plugs for the UK (Ive seen alot about not needing anything special if your in the US)


Also I just want to know what the difference between these auction versions are (Remember Im ordering to the UK):


YAMAKASI CATLEAP 27" Q270 SE Tempered glass (I'm guessing this is just the glass?)

YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 27" S-IPS DVI In-speaker Monitor + Tempered glass (Is this the speakers and glass? is the S-IPS important?)

YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 27" WQHD DVI-D Monitor *Built-in speaker (Speakers but no glass? Whats WQHD?)

YAMAKASI CATLEAPQ270 MULTI 27" S-IPS Stereo Gaming Monitor


Really appreciate the help and really hope I can decide on this monitor and join the club.

All your descriptions of the various models are correct. The "gaming monitor" just indicates it has multiple inputs (hdmi) so you can plug in your ps3/xbox. Tempered glass does 3 things. 1) Protects your LCD. 2) Gives a one-glass-pane that covers the entire front of the monitor. So no plastic bezels/etc...the entire front is one nice flat sheet of glass. 3) It removes your ability to massage dead pixels back to life and there's a risk of dust being behind the glass from the factory. If you're planning on multi-use and need a scaler, the gaming monitor version is likely the best choice for you. As for the power plug, you just need to use a standard computer power cord that will plug in to the outlet and connect to the rest of the adapter which is attached to the TV. Greensum put a converter in the box for me at no charge without even telling me. And now I'm off to bed. Cheers.

Im so screwed! just pulled the plug and ordered the 3. monitor before even the first is delivered. im just so paranoid not getting the B2 version.
but i guess it will be no problem selling them to friends etc.

On the way:
Q270SE
Q270SE Tempered Glass
Q270LED Tempered Glass

Please!! at least let one be the Febuary B2 version!

EDIT: Just tried to cancel my first order on the Q270SE, if it isnt shipped yet, i guess he doesnt have them on stock = ill 100% get a March C2 version. Really no point of getting that one! hope they can stop it.

Seller: Green-sum

I’m happy that the screen is perfect pixel wise. The screen was slightly on the green side but doing a quick calibration in windows seemed to sort that easy enough.

I really hope the circuit boards can be acquired. I want to eventually get it up to at least 85hz. Even if it was desoldering and resoldering a chip on the circuit board I’d do it.

Mine is a 2C and as said before it was ordered from green-sum Friday 8th, delivered Monday 10th (to the UK) - Came in the big box with padding around the monitor box as posted many times already.

Btw is it possible to add my info to the form and update it with more info at a later date? I don't have all of it yet (photos).

Did you adjust the colors using nvidia/ati control panel or with what. We have to get the greenish off. In my nvidia contro panel in increases the red brigness and contrast by 2% (52% on both) and it look really good. Digital vibrancy @ 55%
