LEDMonitors are awesome and cheap!
Hi Leoung,
To be very specific, I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CROSSOVER-27Q-LED-P-27-DVI-PC-Computer-Monitor-2560X1440-16-9-Pivot-QHD-NEW-/170875589678
Note that the price fluctuates up and down on this listing, not sure
why that is.
I'm also in Canada and the duty was $12 per monitor and the shipping
was included.
Best regards,
-ben

I am in Canada, just curious how much was the duty?
Thanks,

I should have made clear that they were $360+duty each, not $360 for
both. But still I find that to be a great price considering
equivalent Dell monitors are at least $600 each.
Best regards,

I'm running 2 of the HP ZR24w's right now, but two 27" monitors is
really
appealing.

Hey all,
I know this is a bit random but I figured I should share this
information as it surprised me.
I recently purchased two 27" Korean QHD 2560x1440 LED Monitor through
eBay for $360 Canadian + duty. I was a bit worried since there was a
lot of disclaimers on the purchase page about possible dead pixels but
holy crap the monitors are amazing and I haven't seen any dead pixels
myself.
The crispness, resolution, size and brightness is just beautiful,
especially for an application like Softimage (or coding) that requires
a lot of screen real-estate. I may not actually be more productive,
but I feel more productive and it is just a more pleasant experience
looking at these monitors.
The specific monitors I purchased are these pivot ones (putting one in
a vertical position is great when you are coding):
Crossover 27Q LED Pivot 2560x1440 WQHD
I can't imagine going back to my standard 24" LCD monitors, they just
seem dull, small and low resolution. $360 for something that I stare
at all day everyday is not that much of an investment.
