Ok this is for people interested in MS Windows and/or Linux high end
monitor for a desktop.
I came across this fact: Monoprice is taking the LG made LCD panel for
Apple’s $999 Cinema Display and creating a 27" Dual Link DVI display (
thus this will not work on a Apple computer ).
So for $390 you get a very good monitor which can be used for video and
or image editing ( after proper calibration ) and get very good results.
Thus this is for people working say with Blender and need to see a
really accurate crisp display. My point is you don't need this for every
day text editing, but this is a good find for anyone who works with
visual media and has to work with people using high end expensive Apple
computers.

The link to the monitor:
*27" IPS-ZERO-G Slim Monitor WQHD 2560x1440 - Dual Link DVI, VGA*

Realistically the quality on the 2560x1440 27" panels is really
inconsistent. I got one over the summer and ended up sending it back
because it was really not pleasant to look at (there is a cross hatching
phenomena in it, well known).
So I'd be careful going down that route.

From what I have been reading, there does not seem to be a problem with
cross hatching on Qnix & X-Star Korean monitors.

Which brand and model did you get? What screen type (matte, tempered
glass or glossy)?
http://www.ipsledmonitors.com seems to have a no questions ask return
policy but I never ordered from them.
