talking about monitors... have anyone seen this one: http://www.lg.com/ca_en/monitors/lg-34UM65 I am a bit scared to buy a monitor I havent tested before... and recently started to do a bit of search to replace my current monitor at home ( ...a very old non ips asus..) and my first choice was a dell u2413h, because I have used it and I know is a good monitor (I use it at work), but is a bit expensive and I will need two. But then I saw that lg which says ips...blabla ( and its 34 inch so I can bare with only one instead of a dual setup) and kinda been a bit undecided on the subject! not sure if someone here had used it yet.. Also I noticed that used apple cinema displays have gone a bit cheaper second hand on ebay.. I am evaluating all options.. cheers

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] If you don't need the 27" this at least looks interesting. It's not out yet, and I'd wait until the reviews are in but it's basically a 22" widescreen Cintiq for $500 - $600 depending if you want multi-touch as well as pen. http://surfaceproartist.com/blog/2014/10/11/monoprice-teases-low-cost-multi-touch-pen-display On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 12:56 PM, phil harbath <[email protected]> wrote: do people still swear by this monitor, I am finally in the market for a 27 incher. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Houston Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2012 10:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Off topic but useful tip: 27" Korean WQHD (2560X1440) LEDMonitors are awesome and cheap! 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.

But still I find that to be a great price considering equivalent Dell monitors are at least $600 each.

I'm running 2 of the HP ZR24w's right now, but two 27" monitors is really appealing. -Paul On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 7:35 AM, Ben Houston <[email protected]> wrote: 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. -- Best regards, Ben Houston Voice: 613-762-4113 Skype: ben.exocortex Twitter: @exocortexcom http://Exocortex.com - Passionate CG Software Professionals. -- Best regards, Ben Houston Voice: 613-762-4113 Skype: ben.exocortex Twitter: @exocortexcom http://Exocortex.com - Passionate CG Software Professionals.
