I like the idea of saving a ton of money on the Korean monitors, but that kinda sketches me out. Is there a system in place to return a doa?

We would have to ship it back to Korea for warranty (if we could get it) but microcenter carries a certain brand of these cheaper 2560 x 1440 with 1 year limited warranty:

If you can't get the really good deal on a dell then you could check out the auria 27eq . It is available on the web store. As a crossover 27q owner I encourage the switch to 2560 x 1440, whatever brand you can afford biggrin.gif

As the above post demonstrates, not everyone notices it. Some people do, though that might be their selection of games, them being used to laggy displays and playstyle more than anything else.

I wouldn't say it's a big deal in slow FPS like BF3, it might be in some arena FPS games, and probably will be in the fastest arena FPS games.

If you're looking for a 27" / 30" option and don't want to risk input lag, the HP ZR2740w and ZR30w, the ACD27", and (some of) the korean displays are possibilities you might want to explore.

How does the HP ZR2740w compare to the U2711 as far as input lag, AG coating, and response time?

Input lag is lesser, it's basically nonexistent. AG coating is the same. Ghosting is a bit worse due to less aggressive overdrive.

I'd assume that it is something that you could get used to but I'm not sure.

Thanks guys. Interesting that I never came across either of those other suggested screens while shopping around...The ZR30w looks really tempting....

I play mostly FPSers (or just the latest greatest with the best graphics), surf the web, watch movies/shows and don't do any photo or video editing or design related stuff.
So here are my questions: is going to be worth 749.99 (I'm not poor but this seems like a lot of money for one item like this)? Is Newegg the best place to buy this item from? Is this the best monitor for my purposes? Is there anything better to spend this money on right now (ie look at my sig rig is it lacking at the moment)?
Thanks for any help!
Reps to those who are useful. thumb.gif

Theres one brand new in the box with full warranty in the video for sale section for 700$ shipped.

Also i own a Catleap and have owned a u2711... The u2711 is the better panel...


But the cat leap is un beatable at 300$

Woops double quote b/c I didn't see the other page!

Hmm didn't realize there were any American based options for those available. I think at the end of the day I need to do a little more home work and looking around. tongue.gif

Is that what you got Lights? You are aware you're basically the reason for me wanting this upgrade! lol Can you link me to where you got yours specifically?
