How about this son http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320857320377?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649. You have a nice 120hz monitor as is!

Scroll down about half way on that ebay listing and you'll see they explain that IPSB models are being replaced with IPSI models that do not have the glass extend beyond the bezel. Its basically the same monitor but the look is different which sucks...

Ahh I see the reason I had that one saved was because of the tempered glass but it ain't as nice like that. The other one was sexy.

Beautiful monitor but definitely out of my price range😃 Think I'll stick with these Korean monitors to get my 2560x1440 resolution[/quote]

Just so you know that Samsung monitor is also 2560x1440. The way you said it made it sound like you thought the Samsung has a lower resolution.

I know, I just wanted to phrase it like that. If you read it you should take that from it.
