I suppose so, but BCC is as reputable as it gets. I have not really heard of that many dead pixels, I think it's far likelier to get horrible backlight bleed. But I guess I just like taking chances? redface.gif

I went with a Crossover for a few reasons.
-It has a nicer, cleaner design in my opinion.
-It has a much better build quality all around. The monitor itself and the stand seem to be much better quality than the other brands (owners of those brands themselves say their stands are wobbly and whatnot)
-After doing my research, the Crossovers >seem< to have the lowest failure/defect rate across all the eBay sellers. I checked out all their recent feedback as well as popular opinion across several forums online.
On top of all of those factors, when I ordered mine at $325, it was barely any more/no more expensive than the other brands. Mine gets here tomorrow by the way wheee.gif Will be posting photos once I have it set up and I'll compare it to my 1200p T240HD if possible. Of course I'll be posting those photos in the Crossover Club thread as this is the Yamakasi thread.

Which one exactly did you get? Also how do you like it so far?

Finally received my replacement PCB from Green-Sum. (I screwed the first one up when removing the stand) Worked great for a couple days and now my monitor is once again broken. The power brick turns off and on over and over again and my screen is black and flickers on once every few seconds. I know its a power brick issue because the little green power light on the power brick goes off every time it happens. It has gotten so bad I cannot use the monitor at all. Anyone know of a replacement power brick for these things that isn't super expensive? I've already dropped $400 on this monitor even though the original cost was $309.

I bought Yamakasi Precision 2703 which power adapter was 190 to 220V.
Even though there was a white paper saying "110V is acceptable" on it,
I decided to buy another one at U.S. eEbay shop.
It is 100 to 240V for Effinet EFL-2202W which costs US$23.19.
It was delivered just today, and it works with Yamakasi Precision 2703.
Also, I have another one, and it also works with Achieva Shimian QH270-IPSI.

Do they all use the same plug that goes into the monitor?

Also can you give me a link to the one you bought? I am sure that if it works with the precision it will work with the Catleap.

They are all Kycon 4-pin DC power plugs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_connector#Snap_and_lock_DC_power_connectors

You can search at ebay.com with:
24V 5A AC Adapter Charger For Effinet EFL-2202W FY2405000 LCD Monitor(4 pin Tip)

It comes with U.S. power cord, but the hole to insert its power cord is special shape.

Sorry about the late response.

There are several Ebay sellers (at the moment they can only be sourced from Ebay.)

BigClothCraft (I bought my two monitors from this guy)
Redcap
Green Sum
Accessories Whole
Dream Seller

All with a good reputation.

EDIT:

The Shimian's are cheaper right now and I don't think there's much of a difference between them to be honest. The Shimian and the Catleap both have semi-flimsy stands and both pretty much offer the same specifications. I would go with which ever is cheaper if I were you. The initial attraction to the Catleap was its ability to overclock, however since the 2B's are no longer in circulation there's nothing setting it apart to be honest.

The only one which is worth more is the Crossover due to the quality of the stand, and the stand has more functions. I only bought my Crossover because at the time the it was the same price as the Catleap, otherwise I would have gone with a Catleap/Shimian.
