Let us know how the display is. But I can't help to wonder why you should buy one of these when you can get a 120+ Hz 1440P IPS for cheaper. 120 Hz makes all the difference. wink.gif

I'm tempted to order one. I love my 2 x 23.6" 1080p setup for everything but gaming... I'd love to have 27" of 2560x1440 glory for games wink.gif I tried a U2711 a few months back and loved everything about it except for the anti-glare film - it caused text on white backgrounds to look quite grainy.

I'll be thinkin' this one over today... I have no use for the headphones, but I could sell 'em tongue.gif

Some of the Korean monitors I'm guessing like the Catleaps and Shimians.

No more 2B equipped Catleaps available currently the next 120Hz 2560 X 1440 will be the Overlord Tempest OC!

That monitor looks good in every respect other than the actual casing, it looks massive and chunky.

Got mine from newegg today looks amazing the colors just pop. No backlight bleed on mine like in those photos. Played guild wars two, civ 5, and BF3 and they ran and looked great no lag or ghosting. So far well worth the money and looks just as good as my buddy's u2711.

I held off from ordering because of the uncertainty about the panel being 6bit or 8bit and lack of reviews (manual still says 6bit, and an "Asus Rep" stated on a forum that it was 8bit). I wish TFT Central had a monitor and could give us a review.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236294&Tpk=Asus%20PB278Q

In stock @ newegg for $699. Newegg's dead pixel / monitor return policy kind of sucks though... I'd like to see it from a local store.

Interesting... when I searched for this on Amazon (same price + $22 shipping from Tiger) I found this for $499:
