Crossover's have the best casing but they all have the same panel... personally price is the most important factor to me.

But I think generally it's Crossover > Shimian > Catleap as far as casing quality.

The basic model of each of these monitors only have a single DVI-D port, however each company offers a multi-input version for substantially more. ...Some people are concerned that the built in scaler in the multi-input versions increases input lag. Personally I don't have problems with it, but i'm not very sensitive to it compared to people who are use to fast monitors.

Shimian: Higher failure rate. (Rough estimate extra 5%) Half-decent stand. Cheapest.

Catleap: Average joe. Bad stand.

Crossover: Most expensive. Height adjustable, portrait mode allowed. Build quality is the best.

Ta-da!
I chose Catleap because at the time tempered glass version of Shimian was same as Catleap, and I'd rather have lower failure rate than a better stand. Too cheap for Crossover.

I bought 3 of the Crossovers, and am incredibly pleased. The solid metal construction = winning, and since I am using them for surround, the fact that the bezels are a few mm thinner on each side, makes me happy - less urge to debezel the bitzes.

In my opinion, and it seems to be backed up by those above, Crossover has the highest build quality. My one regret at this point is not plopping down the extra money for the portrait version, as 3 wide is crazy awesome but some larger vertical would be nice to try. So from my experience the Crossover is a winning bet, hands down. But honestly, I don't think you can go too wrong with these Korean IPS panels.

If I were you, the things I would be looking at are what the monitor looks like and the cost. When I bought in, I basically paid an extra $20 or so per panel to get 3mm I think it was shaved off each side of the bezel. Combined with the superior build quality, the thinner bezels were worth it to me.

Incorrect..there are a few different ones. The rest are all made of plastic, defeating the purpose of buying a crossover in the first place. But the one you want is 27q led, and led-p if you want pivot
