I like how Monoprice says if you can count 5 dead pixels, we will give
you another one.
What about backlight bleed? Can this be a problem? Also, I like that
you can put some of these in portrait mode.

27" 2560x1440 monitors seem to be popular. I was too wary of the overseas
shipping (plus they usually only have a dual-link DVI input and lack a
scaler and OSD) and have purchased 4 total--2 Aurias from Microcenter (same
IPS panel, multiple inputs, with scaler, but still glossy) for $400 each,
and two Asus PB278Q's (Samsung PLS panel, non-aggressive anti-glare,
multiple inputs) for $700 each. In my opinion, the Asus units have better
contrast (for text) than the LG-based IPS displays. I now run my Asus units
at home, and the Aurias at work.
The Asus monitors were perfect, but each of the Aurias had one dead pixel in
the outer areas of the screen. Here's the thing--the pixels on that screen
are so tiny that it doesn't matter. I had to look closely to find them, and
never, ever notice them in normal use. I don't think a handful of dead
pixels along the outer track is a dealbreaker on these.

Still thinking of getting something more than a cheapo monitor. Are the
Dell Ultrasharp's the ones to go for or is there an alternative? One
that is less expensive? I recall someone mentioned one from ebay that
comes from overseas? With a dead-pixel guarantee for an extra $20
(can't have no dead pixels, can we?)?
