I wonder what OCUK think about this big subject. Makes you think maybe they could be selling the Hazro a little cheaper?
SO;
Achieva Shimian OR Yamakasi Catleap Q270?
cheers
What about the PCBANK model like MOOGLEY got (pics somewhere in this thread). I actually wish I had ordered that model as looking at the pics it looks quite nice and also the catleap looks like the stand is quite tall and the PCBANK's stand looks like it is quite low.
The stand on the PCBank is actually pretty good. The monitor sits low down and is quite stable. It's certainly no worse than most other monitors and it has a nice amount of tilt and swivel movement. The surround is a quite thick shiny black it looks a bit like a Samsung Tv it's by no means a looker but it does the job.
Ah yea, just looked up that model.
So i wonder which one out of the 3 people prefer. Does anyone know who produces these monitors? Are they a trusted company over there? Would it just be like me buying a hazro over here? I bet the sellers have suddenly seen a jump in sales due to this thread!

I doubt very much these monitors would pass any kind of CE inspections. I think my 3 year old could have done a better job putting it together.

Do all of these Korean branded models have the same shiny glossy screen? Some of the PCBANK photo's make the screen look matte while the others make it look shiny.

Looking forward to reading you experiences with this! Im thinking of taking a gamble with this model myself.
Pretty sure they are all the same LG S-IPS panels which I think are A- rated

Ok thanks, I had a look at one of the ebay adverts. The English is completely broken but it does say something about the glass being attached to the bezel. I'm just wondering if it would be at all possible to remove this without affecting the screen behind. I'm assuming it's the same as the Hazro matte screen but I don't know for sure. Would be interesting to find this out and if Hazro sell bezel's as spare parts
The Catleap and Achieve are definitely glossy, i.e they don't have an AG coating on them. As for the others I assume they're the same.

Thanks for that. I sent bigclothcraft a message over ebay asking if all of his monitors have the glass front.
Mine does not have a glass front... ?

Ah sorry I misread that man, I assumed by glossy you meant glass. It's a matte screen then? Like a traditional LCD screen?

Nope it's a gloss finished screen. There is no Anti-glare coating as per most monitors. It improves contrast and brightness at the cost of reflecting light quite badly.

Ah ok, sorry man I'm confusing myself here.. Yeah basically I'd like to avoid buying anything without an anti-glare coating, I'm surrounded by shiny glass iMac screens and just glancing around the room the reflections bother me.
I'm %99 sure all the different Korean brands use the same screen's which are the gloss type without antiglare same as the apple displays. They do reflect quite badly but you get used to it and look through them, although bright sunlight is a bit of a pain.
Moogleys, you bought one of these?? What do you think? You don't seem to happy of the build, shall i just stick with getting a Hazro?
cheers mate
