Thinking of getting myself a 1440p monitor.( Edit : Just Bought )

I use a Syncmaster T260 atm, I really like it but I keep seeing posts on forums about 1440p being loads better than 1200p. Is it?

Also whats with these korean Yamakasi's. Anyone got one they can review for me. Any links for reputable sellers?

Any specific monitor suggestions?
Budget up to £300 maybe more ( you don't get rich by spending money! )

Also 27 inch is about all I can fit in my little alcove.

That is all :)

1440p looks damn good. And it will be a big upgrade from 1200p. It will also be wider, though. 1200p is a 16:10 aspect ratio, I believe (1920x1200, right?)  1440p is 16:9, so it's the same shape as 1080p, just with a lot more pixels. 2560x1440. That's a lot of pixels. :P

I'm going to be buying 2 1440p monitors for my next rig, currently looking at Dell Ultrasharp U2713HM, although they are just over £400 so possibly out of your budget.

I have had a Catleap for about a year now and have had no problems at all with it. The only downside of them is that the stands that it comes weith are pretty flimsy and getting is wallmounted is a chore. There is a picture guide on overclock.net about how to wall mount it but it requires removing the bezel and I don't trust my handywqork enough to go about doing it.

Another option could be a Apple Cinema Display or Thunderbolt Display on Craigslist.

I payed $600 for minw, it has absolutely zero scuffs or even faint scratches.   You will most likely go to the owners house to check it out,  so you can quality control it yourself before you buy..

I might have just purchased a Korean 1440p Monitor,  but I see to many reports about a slight or noticable even buzz/humm when displaying a white background.

mmmm.....I might go for this one but it's late and I need to go to bed and sleep on it.

Supposely the crossover has the best/better shell and stand build quality so you may want to check up on those.

Why would you go dual-680 at 1200p?

I'm really surprised by the lack of 1440p monitors here, especially given how cheap they are.

Go to this link to know more about the Korean monitors.

I'm pretty sure he isn't using a 120 Hz monitor, but could be wrong.

This one can do 125hz!

You can almost get two K monitors for the price of one ultrasharp so :lol: theres your insurance there and in the best case you end with two working ones.

Can anyone spot the difference between thesetwo apart from the price?

Just pulled the trigger!

Bought this one as supposedly it has slightly better build quality.

I'll post on here when/if it arrives. :D

Please do! Let us know how it goes!

how are the response times on these monitor?  I want to get them but they all seem to have 5ms response times.  To my knowledge slow response times mean input lag.  Input lag is no bueno for gaming.  How do these monitors perform other than pretty images?

Very happy, no stuck/dead pixels so far, no buzzing noise, feels very hard, heavy and well made.

Now for some gaming. :D

Damn that looks amazing.=O

Wow, I'll definitely have to keep this monitor in mind when I build my PC later this year.

I almost bought that panel. But in the end I felt like I needed to go "name brand" because of warranty issues and user reviews I read. I'm glad you like it though. My only regret, which is a minor one, is going with the gtx 690 instead of sli 4 gb 670 or 680's. That resolution is a monster in some games. GoldenElementXL

[QUOTE="acanofcoke"][QUOTE="mitu123"] I would go for this or a 1600p monitor, trying to make up my mind in the next few months.mitu123

For people who have bought a Korean 1440P, do you have to pay a fee to customs on top of the actual price?
