“Amazing valueI've been using 2 of these monitors for a month now and I am really impressed. I have them mounted on a duel arm monitor stand (spec says upto 24" but these fit just fine). I did have to remove the bezel to remove the shaft from the stand, but there were clear instructions online upon googling the monitor, and it was a quick 5 minute job for each monitor.
The controls are easy to use and the monitors were very easy to calibrate using online resources (RGB set to 100, 85, 75. Contrast 60 and brightness 65). Switching input is very easy to do, I have my pc connected using DVI-D and my macbook pro connected via display port and can switch between the 2 with a press of a button.
The monitor comes with a DVI-D cable along with VGA (God knows why) and audio-in. The power brick is quite large and not ideal, but it's a small inconvenience for the price of the monitor. Overall I am really impressed with these monitors and wont be upgrading them any time soon.16/01/2013“
“I want another...I have wanted a larger display for a while but just reluctant to spend £600+ for a good panel. So really just tried this out based on what I have seen about it online and the reviews on OCUK.
Firstly, the stand as others say is not great, the display slots into the base easily but feels like it will pop straight back out if you lifted the screen off the desk! The display will wobble a little if touched but once it's in place it's no big issue.
Then you turn it on... No dead pixels... A few small adjustments, mainly lowering the brightness... I had to pinch myself!!
One word - stunning!! As soon as you start to use this screen nothing else matters. I now have a screen which at full resolution makes my 22" Samsung Syncmaster look like a toy!
The image is so sharp; The colour representation and especially the contrast is fantastic; Black is jet-black.
I would never normally buy from a lesser-brand, stupidly fussy sometimes, this is one exception that I am glad to make!05/12/2012“

Good job for the moneyHad this for a week and has impressed me with every use. Sure enough the chassis quality is average and there's a small amount of backlight bleed but these were expected and very acceptable considering the £319 introductory price.
Overall very pleased with it as the native resolution gives lots of space, colours are very accurate and generally great image quality. Would recommend.13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Brilliant, not flawless.Good
>The picture quality is fantastic, best I've personally ever seen. I guess this can be expected as it is an apple panel.
>I personally love the reflective screens, much prefer them to the matt ones, but many people prefer matt screens, so make sure you know this is a reflective screen before purchasing.
Bad
> The stand is a bit flimsy, if i nudge into my desk by mistake, the monitor flaps all over the place, and will dip down, meaning I need to manually adjust it again.
> The bezel and screen itself pick up fingerprints far too easily (the reason why I would be touching the monitor is explained in my previous point)13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Very Nice, but ...Very nice screen.
i have 2 of these running in 2560x1440 on each side of another 27 (hazro, also sold here) screen. So my setup is a triple screen system.
The picture quality on these is good, but in my opinion not as good as the hazro of similar/same specs. still great for gaming!
also one thing i noticed is that on my motherboard atleast, the bios will not display on these screens. i am running a gigabyte ga-z77-ds3h mobo and the bios or boot process will not display on these.
i originally puchased these before the hazro and was disappointed at the 'blank boot' issue, but the hazro center screen solved that, and these are great side-screens.
but i would not consider these as the main display due to the bios/compatibility issues i had.13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Lovely screenReceived Monitor today, placed order yesterday afternoon, fantastic service from Overclockers,I am really happy with monitor,no dead pixels,perfect clarity and crisp and sharp,menu is easy to navigate,not much to change to be honest as looks sweet,will need to buy another GPU to take advantage of the max resolution.also might need to buy an HDMI 1.4 or above, looks huge on my station. 1 word of advice, you will notice in bottom right of monitor there appear to be a circular button, you would assume this is the on/off button,lol, it is not,all buttons are underneath the panel, i pressed this to hard and pushed the circular dish through, lets hope it is not important.I also noticed the price has gone up almost 60 quid so I did quite well. stand is a bit flimsey but adequate, it will not topple over thankfully,build quality looks and feels good.connections are easy to access,all in all a very nice IPS monitor.12 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review?

Value Price, Quality ProductLet's be clear, for the money, nothing comes close to this. The panel quality is outstanding, offering rich, vibrant colours, with depth of field and it handles motion control very well.
The stand isn't great but it is serviceable and on my system it does show the boot screen over the included dual link dvi cable.
It's by far the best upgrade I've done to my system, everything from working, gaming and watching has been improved and I don't see this being replaced for a very long time.12 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Almost IdealBeautiful glossy panel, looks exactly as good as iMac/Thunderbolt displays (uses the same A+ rated panel so no surprise there).
4 stars instead of 5 due to: Firstly, the stand is a bit flimsy and the plastic look feels cheap placed next to the Retina MBP sat next to it. Secondly, while I cannot comment for others reviewing this, no DisplayPort cable and mini DP to full size DP adapter were supplied with it [required for full resolution from MBPs]. Fortunately, I had a couple of those lying around. Thirdly, the cable length between the power brick and monitor (which cannot be adjusted) is fairly short, so the brick will have to sit behind the monitor on one's desk. This may be an issue for those concerned with aesthetics.
Functionally, I cannot fault the monitor (yet) and it seems to be a good deal. Waiting for it to go on sale made it even more so for me. Fingers crossed that it doesn't develop stuck subpixels like the budget 2560x1600 30" monitors from Hazro I've owned in the past.12 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Upgrade from 1080p but its no apple screI brought this monitor as I wanted to upgrade from my 1080 27" led monitor after always being in awe when seeing the iMac screens running 2560 x 1440. Yes it is a upgrade from my old monitor but not a massive one or as good as the iMacs screen. It's hard to push the screen to its limits as trying to find 2560 x 1440 videos on the net or youtube is almost impossible. How ether I mainly brought it as I play a lot of games and the image is a lot sharper and clearer going from 1080p to 2560 x 1440. Don't get me wrong for the money this is a great monitor and very sharp and clear picture for the price. How ether if your after something that's as crisp as the 27" apple monitors then look elsewhere. The stand is very flimsy but that's o.k for me as I brought it for the screen image not the stand. Overall I'm happy and give it 4/5.12 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Bargain!For the price - This is a steal. You don't need buy a dodgy Korean model from a well known bidding site. Windows recognises this monitor as: Boevt Terra 2760WLED.
Pros:
- 2450x1440. You get tons more screen real estate!
- Has a cracking IPS panel, with super-wide viewing angles.
- It's CHEAP! I actually got the B-Grade version for £120 less [The PSU is chirping, so I will pick up a new one]
- Reflective glass screen; it's a nice aesthetic touch.
- These panels are A+ models - No dead pixels here! :-)
- The monitor doesn't look tacky.
- You get warranty!
Cons:
- Reflective Panel - It may look nice, but you suffer at the hands of reflections. I suppose it's all up to personal preference.
- The bezel needs to be removed in order to remove the stand; that is if you want to mount it.
- The monitor does wobble, but who bangs their desk while playing games anyway?
- For me, blacks aren't too dark in the corners :(12 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

BrilliantNo dead pixels
No backlight bleed
Amazing image quality
Bezel looks a lot better in person than in the photos
Great value for money
The stand is a bit rubbish, might replace it with a vesa arm but it really doesn't matter that much.
3 year warranty!!
If you are on the fence, just buy it you wont regret it.11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes
