Some dust under the glass is the only issue, but I still like it so much, the dust is a minor issue (for only $320 anyway, which is what I paid). The default brick that came with it is by Nanjing Frontek 110V+, and it works fine, usually lukewarm to touch.

The dust is my main concern. Going to jump on the regular "Shimian Lite" .... How easy is it to take the stand off? Do I just unscrew it off and put on a mono price one?
Yes its one single screw. Simple.

In order to do that, you need to lift the glass off the front of the monitor. The glass is held by double-sided tape. While there is a thread about someone successfully removing the glass by heating the tape indirectly (such as with a hairdryer), I have been unable to make my glass budge even a little even after using the highest setting on my hairdryer and trying to use a plunger. Couldn't lift it by a millimeter even, nothing like inserting a credit card and being able to blow some compressed air under the glass. I'd rather not break it and can live with one noticeable spec, since there's nothing else wrong with the monitor, and sellers are not responsible for minute dust (as stated on their auction terms) =/

Has anyone tried this VESA Stand on the Shimian. From MONOPRICE: PRODUCT ID: 5970 ... just search on monoprice.

Seems to be quite adjustable. $20.63 and reviews say it can hold a 27 or 28" monitor. Any opinions?

Yeah I guess people just don't have time. I don't want to read over them but I did. I probably looked a total of 300 pages of info about these Korean monitors (at least 3 threads here, one on HF, several others) lol.

Well it'll definitely hold and looks pretty stable. However, to me it looks really ugly.

I have a desk mount and whilst it says it only supports up to 23" 8kg monitors or something, it held the Achieva IPSB completely fine (glass model so it weighs about 9kg give or take). I'm from the UK though but incase you were curious it's the "CMD WHITE Vision Flat Screen LCD Monitor Arm Desk Clamp" which cost me £18 inc delivery (~$27). Looks really good IMO.

If your reading this thread and your still deciding to buy an almost no-warranty monitor from the other side of the world, i can tell you it is worth it. I received my QH270-lite a few days ago, I am amazed by the quality, with no AG coating and the high resolution, everything looks crisp and clear. Its almost like having those phone AMOLED screen in 27inches. When you turn up the brightness to max, images looks so real, and games on this look so nice and sharp. AG coating is bad for screens, it has no place in the home computer. I dont care that bezel looks cheap and ugly, especially the back. The stand is very flimsy, but it makes the Shimian very light and thin.
I got it from Dream-seller, he is a very good seller, he checked it before it shipped, in the one week that i was waiting for it he sold 50 of these, that does not include all the other variants, so he is very busy seller.
It came with 1 white stuck pixel near the bottom, you only see it on a black background, is very hard to notice with a high pixel density.
When i plugged it onto my digital set-top box with a dvi-hdmi cable I got a black screen with flashing blue led, so you cant use it as a TV. Also it does not like the power cable been pulled out while its running, it goes to a black screen and the led flashes red, so don't do that. As for people complaining about the minimal controls, remember the apple displays only have a power button , no brightness buttons.

So buy it, if you don't like it sell on line locally for double the price, the only thing that comes close to this is the $800 Samsung 8series 27".
Im worried when apple finds out about this they will just destroy their rejected thunderbolt displays instead of selling them to Shimian.

My Shimian IPSM works great as a tv hooked up to set top box. I have D-DVI in the monitor to the video card, then HDMI from set top box to monitor. I just reach behind the monitor and hit the DVI or HDMI button, love this setup.

Nope. Both my monitors are fine. No bleeding issues at all.

I use "3 Way Adjustable Tilting Desk Mount Bracket for LCD LED (Max 33Lbs, 13~30inch) - Black" from Monoprice (Product ID: 5402 / Price $21.45) and it works great and looks very good.

My thinking is the same. I don't mind paying some import taxes and VAT but if it's going to cost me an arm and a leg if it's DOA or defective I really don't want to risk it.
Please do pm me or post up on here when you get the replys, would be super helpful. smile.gif
I got reply from BCC, he pays for return shipping in case of defective monitor or DOA.

Still nothing from dream-seller and red-cap.
