Hope I get mine before the weekend, bought on Saturday night. I have been wanting a 27" with 2560x1440 resolution for a very long time but can't afford it until now.
Didn't want a 27" with a resolution of 1080p.
 
I got mine today, just had chance to try 1 before work, looks fantastic and no glare from what i could tell.. will try it next to my Hazro tonight but im sure the picture and colour out of box looks beeter so far. :)
 
Picked up my 'Crossover' today. What an amazing monitor.

Only issue I have is that in pure black screen there is some light bleed in the bottom left and right corners, but other than that its fine.

Also 100% pixel perfect.

Note that the black front bezel is black gloss powder coated metal. The back is also metal in white powder coat finish. This thing is the heaviest monitor I have ever used.

Have my single HD7870 overclocked to 1250 mhz running Skyrim with 2xAA, and it is running flawless.

One very happy guy.
 
So i got a new monitor last week, cost me £251 delivered with import duty, nice looking monitor, tempered glass screen.

However, it switched on ok, power was ok, backlight came on, but no bios screen, no windows desktop.

Looked like it was switching on when it should ,but no display.

Thought it may be my graphics card, or the dvi-d cable, heard lots of stories of dodgy cables, so i ordered 2 new ones, more sturdy.

Also went for a new graphics card amd hd 7850, incase it was my gtx 560.

Still the same, no bios or display, the monitor would show up if i connected another screen, windows was detecting it ok.

Emailed the seller, wanted me to ship it back to South Korea, would cost £70 , but he said he would refund me if faulty.

In the end, i thought, sod it, il open it up, see if a cable is loose.

These monitors are not meant to be opened up again , glass front (funny this, heard stories, hear a lot of stories on the internet of the glass dropping off, poor tape) haha, yes righto, this was the strongest tape known to man holding this chuffer on, the glass needs to be removed to get to the screws that hold the monitor in place, was going ok, then the glass broke, not that tempered, my temper was gone mind :D

Then i get to where the cables are, and i saw it straight away, a ribbon cable, was half in/half out, popped it back in , fired it up and bingo!!! it works.

If these things are put into place good at the start they dont pop out, they should lock in.

Heres the pics! and a video.

Ouch, so are you using it without the glass?
Whats it like without the glass? what sort of surface is it? is it just like a regular monitors surface is is it more 'fragile' or less 'rugged' if you get what I mean.

I bet you **** yourself when the glass broke, and were relieved when you found out it was just a cable :p

Sorry for the quastions :p
 
They do check them but as stated earlier sometimes the factory workers are lazy and might miss a pixel here or there. Main thing is that at least it works!! I hate DOA goods especially after waiting ages, so wouldn't mind a pixel here or there on such a high res.

U tried emailing the seller to see if he can provide a glass panel front?
 
I've got mine all set up now, I'm absolutely amazed at how brilliant it looks, pictures don't do it justice at all. I've had good look and I've got no dead pixels, I just went for the standard one not the pixel perfect.

I will try to do a video review tomorrow I was too busy playing with it today. Very pleased! :D
