When my monitor for this computer died a week ago, I ended up buying an
AOC E2752Vh 27" LED monitor - about $250 + tax. It's "Active Matrix TFT"
instead of IPS/PLS. But it's a really bright, solid monitor.
I've got to make time to run calibration on it.
As usual with the way my life goes, *this week* it's on sale for $199.
I'm still looking for some place to repair my old monitor. Since I'm
pretty certain the problem is the inverter circuit, I'm pretty sure it
*CAN* be repaired.
If so, I'll keep it around as a spare. If not, I'll keep it around until
I figure out how to fix it myself.

differenet models of these monitors are compared?
i do not know about "PLS", but i was curious too and found a good
analysis not too long ago; here are some quick finds that may have the
same info, a bit dated though:

i was curious about the units from Monoprice, but i learned that some
eBay vendors (including Qnix) use the same panels; they are apparently
IPS panels which are not top-grade, so in essence seconds from the runs
of panels made for Apple and other quality display vendors; they may
have color or illumination irregularities, and the dead-pixel guarantees
(and overall warranty terms) vary; they also tend to be in cheap
enclosures and have limited controls and input options (you may need an
expensive dual-link DVI adapter)
all-in-all you may get a great one, or not; i'd hate to have to send one
back to Korea under warranty
