2560x1440 IPS 27" LED Monitor on the Cheap!

[LordJummy]

I'm now rocking three of the Crossover 27" models with this panel. They are fantastic and I got them at a steal. They still aren't as good as my Dell 30" but they are amazing for $300 each, sheeeeyit.

I got a second 1440p coming today. Giving my QNIX to my Dad for his bday, and I have a white edition Shimian coming today. xD Can't wait.

1440p is more beautiful then I ever thought possible, runs circles around 1080p imo.

I have ordered 5 Catleaps from greensum and the only issue so far is one of them was missing the power adapter but the seller was very fast to send me a new adapter

Other then that i haven't even had a dead pixel yet

Now i just need to find a triple monitor stand that can hold 27" screens

very nice. if nothing else, you could wall mount 1 of them, then use stands and have them angling toward the one that is wall mounted, but if your desk is that big, i guess u could just have all 3 on your desk, heh... lol nm

They have wall-mounts that extend out and swivel and the like. Worst case scenario, the middle monitor sits on the desk and the two on the sides are wall-mounted and angled towards the center.

My Shimian white edition came today, worked great for 5 minutes then power supply had a loud pop and it was to hot to touch, smelled like it was melting, so I unplugged everything... monitor seems to be ok... where can I get another power adapter for these korean monitors? Will this one work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NW-60W-AC-AD...ht_4050wt_1397

[n-ster]

tell your reseller, he should send you a functioning one

I have no idea if its good or not, but 60w seems too small

[Kantastic]

IIRC these monitors pull like 75-80W.

I really don't know, but I've read about a few situations like yours and the sellers usually come through fairly quick. They might not reply immediately due to the time difference... but I get your pain. Having a gorgeous monitor on your desk and not being able to use it...

I don't know what seller you got yours from but when mine was missing the power adapter the seller had a new one sent out in less then 24hours and arrived in 3 working days

Your situation is a little different as you have a faulty one so i don't know if they will expect it to be sent back

Bought mine from ta-planet, he has like 99.97% positive feedback and seems like he will work with me, his english is terrible though so hopefully he knows what i am asking when i say i need the power brick replaced

The power brick for my potalion gets pretty warm, but luckily has not popped yet. I would go for the one in the US like you did, but also get the replacement from the seller based on principle (and to have as a spare in case if one goes pop again). I just hope only the power brick went out and didn't send a voltage spike to the TV which could damage it.

He better not expect you to ship it back over to him or at least pay for your shipping expense...

[Phusius]

ta-planet just contacted me, he says today the 15th is a Korean holiday which is why he was delayed, but will ship me a new power adapter aug 16. xD I was wondering why there was a delay, because I can tell by this dude's feedback he is a good guy

edit: we just worked it out, since I already bought a replacement power adapter 24v 5a from california for $23 and change, he issued me a $25 refund instead of sending me a new one. here is the one I bought if anyone wondered, he said it should work just fine.

edit: new link works.

very cool ta_planet is.

Glad it worked out for you, and I hope it works flawlessly

Link says listing was removed; I hope that doesn't bode ill ....
Link works Looks like you'll be back in business again soon

[Kantastic]

Glad it worked out for you! I hope your monitor still works. Keep us posted!

My Catleap pulled around 59W, according to the watt meter: that's 13 less then my previous monitor @ 1920/1200.

Other then the "small" hitch with the customs charging nearly 50% of the monitor's price, i couldn't be happier with mine.

[Phusius]

New 24v 5a power brick just came in. Monitor still won't turn on. Just contacted ta_planet to ask him what my options are... guess I am screwed. He already offered me a $25.00 partial refund since I had to buy another power brick. Knew I should have stuck with a regular USA store... damnit.

won't be online for awhile guys, spending the $100+ to mail the Shimian back... all because a power brick overheated... I had it well ventilated too and a little area all to itself... lesson learned. heh.

They are actually pretty decent. I wouldn't say they're as good as the newer DELL stands but they're better than the catleaps crappy little stand. Either way I would go with a better VESA mount, which is what I'm doing. I'll get some pics up soon when my office rebuild is finished and it's not a crazy mess.
