I was trying to do some research on all the different Korean monitors, but with about a billion posts on them, it's hard to make it through.
I'd like to spend less than $350 on a monitor, although if it was really worth it, I could go more.
Just plain DVI input is fine with me - I'd prefer lower input lag anyway, so I don't need one of the models with the multiple imports.
My primary needs are gaming and photo editing. From what I understand, none of the Korean monitors you can get now can be overclocked/refresh rate raised unless you wait for a Tempest OC or go for a 120hz.net group buy. Is that right? No chance of getting an overclockable catleap or anything just from the normal channels? If so, then there's not really any difference between them for gaming, right?
For photo editing - do any of the panels (Shimian, Catleap, Nixeus, PCBank 2700, etc) have better default color calibration or contrast than the others? I don't have a colorimeter so if one of them has accurate colors right out of the box, that'd be great.
Do any models generally have more or fewer dead pixels? Backlight bleed? Etc? Or are they all pretty similar?
So basically I'm asking - should I just grab the cheapest ($285ish) Shimian I can buy, or is there a good reason for me to spend an extra $40-80 on a different model?
