I was kinda annoyed at first but its not really worth going through the hassle of filing a dispute with the seller or shipping the monitor back to korea for an exchange/refund. The initial blue tint was far more annoying but now that I've got that under control I'm more or less satisfied with the monitor.

To fix the blue tint issue I ended up using a crossleap profile that someone uploaded to correct their own blue tint problem. The colors now appear close to normal but still slightly off since I don't own a colorimeter.
I uploaded two up close pictures of the bezel. It appears similar to the q270-lite except that the plastic has a hair-line brushed pattern instead of being glossy.

Thank you very much. And finally, could you take a photo without flash of the whole monitor front including the bezel? (with lights on in your room) Just want to see what the bezel looks like at normal distance without flash.

Here you go. The lighting in my room isn't great so this is the best I can do at the moment. As you can see the screen is quite glossy and does reflect some images in normal lighting.

Thanks very much!! +rep It is interesting that the inner edges of the bezel (the ones that curve in toward the screen) are glossy, or at least appear to be in all of the photos. So only the very front is matte.

I got my Shimian today locally here in Korea. I was originally searching for a Catleap but had no luck and randomly came across the Shimian knowing full well what it was.

Ended up paying about 240$ here for it since it was local and I didn't have to ship it overseas.

Depends on you personally. If you aren't bothered by losing a few pixels, go for it. If you're the kind of person that would constantly look for it (aka me) don't bother.

anyone got pics to the back of the monitor casing removed?
plan to strip down to the front and back to reduce the bezel for triple setup but have to find out if vesa mount will still be there after taking out the casing
and can the non tempered glass version bezel be removed same way as the tempered glass with a hot gun and a card?
