It's a good option if you want high-quality for monitors at half the price. The only risk you run is getting a monitor that's not "perfect," which usually ends up being a headache, as you might imagine.

The glossy surface does make a difference in the image, but the tempered glass is an aesthetic thing. The models with it will list 'tempered glass'. I think SE is without speakers. I'd recommend the version without rather than with.

Thanks for the info. Can anyone confirm that all of them have the glass surface? If anyone knows which one has a glass screen without speakers, please feel free to enlighten me.

The 2703 LED version has a tempered glass screen without speakers. This is the version that I currently own.

Only the tempered glass one has the glass surface.

All of the Catleaps are glossy. The non-tempered glass ones are glossy but do not have a glass surface.

The Q270 SE with Glass has no speakers and an additional tempered glass layer over the screen.
The Q270 SE has no speakers and no tempered glass.

The 2703 has no speakers and an additional tempered glass layer over the screen.

Whatever version of the Q270 SE you're looking for on ebay, just scroll down in the particular listing you're looking at. It'll say whether it has glass or not.

As said, all are glossy; ones with tempered glass will be specifically stated. And yeah, to my knowledge SE means no speakers. I guess it stands for.. Speakers Excluded? redface.gif

Apologies if this has been covered and the noob question, but is there any reason why this shouldn't work with my Gigabyte GV-R577UD-1GD Radeon HD 5770? A few of the sellers have a chart up saying that the 5770 isn't compatible. I'm not going to be running any games or graphically intensive applications.

There is no reason. My Catleap worked with my Sapphire HD 5770 just fine.

Superb. Thanks for the heads up!
I didn't think it would be an issue, but several of the sellers have similar graphics stating these wouldn't work with the 5770 so I thought I'd check here for the real deal.

I'm really ticked. I woke up this morning and went to use my computer and my catleap is not working. The screen light turn green and the screen displays an image for about 1 seccond then the light blinks red and the screen turns off and then starts the cycle again. I tried un plugging everything and holding down the power button to release all the power then pluggin back in and that didn't fix the problem. I rebooted the computer which didn't make a difference. It definantly appears to be a screen problem. I'm hoping it is my weltronics ac adapter. Anyone every have this problem with the screen cycling on and off? only display an image for second then the red light blinks twice?
