Is there any difference between them beside the manufacter and price? And small things like cable and packaging? They all use the same panel right?

  • Build quality - Crossover's generally (seem) to have the higher build quality
  • Color-Bit - some are 8-bit, some are 10-bit (not true 10bit) 16.7m/1.07b depends if you care about that, or not
  • Stand - some have wobbly poor stands, others have decently good tilt-only stands, and others have full adjustable ones, pivot etc.
  • I/O - entry level ones have only the DL-DVI port, generally the higher you go the more I/O you have, with HDCP.
  • Price - speaks for itself
  • Warranty(?) not sure if they all have the 1yr warranty.

The Crossovers seem to have a flickering issue that the other panels do not.

IMO, get the one you think looks best. They are essentially the same anyway

IIRC you can't give direct links to ebay, TOS. I bought mine from AccessoriesWhole, 10k rep 99.99% positive feedback, bought a perfect pixel Crossover 2720MDP, stated in the description that Crossover only produce ~50 out of ~1500 perfect pixel panels, and they are (apparently) A+ panels. I'm hoping this is true, as mine hopefully arrives tommorow. They're also the only 'Official' Dealer of the Catleap, and Crossover.

I had the seller provide me with a written statement via email that this information was all true, and asked them to check my display before shipping, and they apprently did... we'll see tommorow.

Very quick responses from them aswell, If my monitor arrives tommorow in perfect shape, with no problems, I'll be more than happy to recommend them to everyone tbh.

Awesome. Keep us updated then. I am getting anxious about buying a new monitor. Although I do see Microcenter now has an Auria 27" for $399 and there is a preorder for a Nixeus Monitor for $429 via Comp-U-Plus if people want it directly state side.

The only reason perfect pixel is a gimmick is because you're buying from a seller who won't take it back and because they don't chase it up. Buy from a seller who will take it back, and chase them up if it has defective pixels. Ebay has your back. Sorted.

Crossover's did have a flickering issue a month or two ago, but I've heard nothing recently. I think it was just a bad batch so the issue should be gone now. The panels are all the same across the board, so just pick the one you like the look of, taking in consideration how much you're willing to pay for a pretty monitor. If you love aesthetics, you'll probably just want the crossover and call it a day seeing as it's the only all metal one.

Perfect pixel is typically a "gimmick" because it usually doesn't cover stuck pixels, just dead ones. They also do not typically warrant a complete exchange but a small refund per dead pixel found, usually around $10 per dead pixel. The value in "Perfect Pixel" isn't there because any of the decent sellers have a 3 to 5 defective, dead or stuck. return policy on the display anyways, so in a really bad panel situation you send it back.

Finally! These have 3,686,400 pixels on them, a dead or stuck pixel somewhere isn't gong to be noticeable or even easy to find.
