I've been using one for years and didn't have any problems. The only thing that Acer does that these korean monitors don't is G-Sync.

Are you able to overclock the IPS panels? Or just the PLS? The Crossover 2795Q looks pretty decent, but it's IPS.

In Canada, after tax, that monitor is approaching $1100. Is it worth the $600ish premium over a Korean panel? I'd have a hard time believing that.

Que? I got mine for $950 I believe.

Yup:Acer XB270HU 27in WQHD IPS Gaming LCD w/ G-SYNC, 3D Ready at Memory Express


Plus GST of course. Seriously, it's worth it. Do it. Like Heylel said, you'll easily get 5 years of of it, if not more. My Dell I think I bought in 2006, and it's still going strong as the girlfriend's display.

The only IPS you can overclock are the rev. B Yamakasi Catleap or if you buy a separate monitor controller board and replace it.

Something like this but it's not worth it at that price.Perfect Pixel Yamakasi Catleap Q270 120Hz IPS 1440p PC Monitor | eBay

If you have 500+ to spend on a monitor, check out the 39" 4k koreans at ~550$ (same PPI as a 27" 2560x1440).

As always,Monitors and Displayshas the most info on these monitors.

Anyone use one of those Korean IPS panels? I've been looking at getting a 27" 1440p without draining my bank account.green-sumon eBay always has a bunch of different ones, and it's all free shipping if they're coming out of Korea or China or whatever. There are quite a few different brands though that I know absolutely nothing about.

I bought a Qnix from greensum about 2 years ago and it is great. Shipped really quick and arrived with no dead pixels.

Mine overclocks to 96hz, some can OC to 122 hz but it isn't real common. 96 hz seems to be the norm unless you get real lucky.

Great monitor regardless, it looks amazing.

I bought a Catleap B about two years ago now, pretty sure it was from greensum. Everything has been perfect.

Skylake build inc! Bye i7-940, you served me well for way too fucking long. Nothing really exciting since it's half a system and I'm still on a 2gb 770 and waiting for next gen Nvidia there.

Now to cry about games going to crap with 2gb of VRAM until Pascal.

Correct, even though I think something like 99% of their monitors are pixel perfect, even without that guarantee. You used to have to pay a premium for "pixel perfect", it was an extra $30-$40 a few years ago when I ordered my monitor(my Qnix was $330 back in the day, Pixel perfect was like $375), but now I think they pretty much just advertise them all that way, they don't send out any with dead pixels at all anymore.

the only other caveat is the "glossy" finish. You basically have to treat it like you would a Plasma TV, since they both have glass screens. They look incredible, super deep & rich colors, but they will glare/reflect like crazy in a very bright environment. Don't get a glossy monitor/TV if it's going to be set up right across from a big window.

Now that I have Skylake as a base I just need g-sync 1440p monitors to hit a nice price point in time for Nvidia's pascal. In the end I expect I'll have about 2 grand worth of shit spread out over about a year. Considering I'm replacing everything except the fucking mouse after most of my system just had its 6th birthday that's pretty reasonable. (also.. my case is a 15+ year old beige Dell box. WHY HAVE I PUT UP WITH THIS?)

Cyber Monday will be the 500GB SSD. Then I'll move my OS onto my 128 EVO, and the only thing on a mechanical drive will be torrents, movies and porn.

The only way to offset having a dell beige box is to get a Full ATX case with as many multi-colored LEDs and windows as you can.

My Pascal SLI + Skylake-E system will be glorious. (That's what I keep telling myself anyway.) I'm going to get that Predator X34 curved ultra widescreen IPS gsync monitor, or maybe there will be something better by then.
