Hi Leoung, To be very specific, I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CROSSOVER-27Q-LED-P-27-DVI-PC-Computer-Monitor-2560X1440-16-9-Pivot-QHD-NEW-/170875589678 Note that the price fluctuates up and down on this listing, not sure why that is. I'm also in Canada and the duty was $12 per monitor and the shipping was included.
