i've been reading about these Korean off-brand monitors for a while now, and finally grabbed one last week at Microcenter (http://microcenter.com/product/384780/E … ED_Monitor)...

EXCELLENT

for those who haven't followed the "saga", these are the same LG panels that are used in Apple Cinema Display, re-branded and re-shelled by off-brand companies... the screen is fantastic, especially once calibrated... the stand/shell is cheap and creaky, but hey - these are meant to be CHEAP... you can get them on ebay for right around $300... not bad for a 27" LG WQHD IPS screen

so, has anyone else joined the cheap Korean monitor club, or am i alone on this one ?

Both my screens have the Samsung brand on them. Have both worked flawlessly.

I read this thread as "The Cheap Korean Dinner Club", and I got really really excited about it.

Keep us posted on how this monitor works out for you.

I have a 23" LG IPS monitor which I bought for $179.
