Monoprice has a good reputation as a no-nonsense source for cables and the like. It is a US company. They will ship to Canada but that has friction: shipping costs (not free), customs brokerage costs, HST, currency exchange costs. And, of course, no local warranty. I seem to remember that they've been selling inexpensive 27" monitors for a year or two. The other source of this kind of thing is direct from Korea. Here's a very very long thread about these monitors from Korea: <http://forums.redflagdeals.com/rfds-official-korean-27-2-5k-2560x1440-resolution-monitor-deals-118323> Summary: very good price, pretty good chance of success, pretty good display panel, very basic electronics (only supports dual-link DVI and only at native resolution). (slickdeals.net is a US deals site. Like the Canadian redflagdeals.com site. The fora appear to be driven by consumers, not vendors.) --- GTALUG Talk Mailing List - [email protected] http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
