Hi Ben,
Which seller did you buy it from?
I am in Canada, just curious how much was the duty?
Thanks,
Leoung

I should have made clear that they were $360+duty each, not $360 for
both. But still I find that to be a great price considering
equivalent Dell monitors are at least $600 each.
Best regards,

I'm running 2 of the HP ZR24w's right now, but two 27" monitors is really
appealing.

Hey all,
I know this is a bit random but I figured I should share this
information as it surprised me.
I recently purchased two 27" Korean QHD 2560x1440 LED Monitor through
eBay for $360 Canadian + duty. I was a bit worried since there was a
lot of disclaimers on the purchase page about possible dead pixels but
holy crap the monitors are amazing and I haven't seen any dead pixels
myself.
The crispness, resolution, size and brightness is just beautiful,
especially for an application like Softimage (or coding) that requires
a lot of screen real-estate. I may not actually be more productive,
but I feel more productive and it is just a more pleasant experience
looking at these monitors.
The specific monitors I purchased are these pivot ones (putting one in
a vertical position is great when you are coding):
Crossover 27Q LED Pivot 2560x1440 WQHD
I can't imagine going back to my standard 24" LCD monitors, they just
seem dull, small and low resolution. $360 for something that I stare
at all day everyday is not that much of an investment.
