I am looking for a 2560x1440 monitor, and I found this on ebay.... it's some no name chinese brand (I think) but I'm really tempted to buy it.
Has anyone had any experiences with a cheap no name monitor? Good or bad?
$130 shipping... doesn't seem right. 230+130=$360 By an xstar for $300
Ive bought a crossover 27q a while ago (same screen but much higher quality brezel and stand), shipping took about 7 work days, packaging was good.The screen looked gorgeous and had no backlight bleeding (though ips glow of course). There were no dead pixels, but the screen looked ever so slighty more yellow on the bottom, wich was almost completely fixed with a new colour profile. I found a single stick pixel with a magnifying glass later, but it dissapeared after a while. 2 Weeks after arrival a got bill, 10 bucks for fedex, 50ish vat for the price +VAT FOR THE ASSUMED shipping costs (even though they were included). The power brick and cable were fine.
Bottom line: the Screens are really nice and work usually, the brezels and stands are usually super cheap and wonky (depends on model), the screens are usually tested before shipping, but the reputable sellers tend to take good care of defects since they got a reputation to lose. Remember that you wont get much of a warranty or something, also there will taxes depending on where you live. They start at 320 $US, some models were even reviewed on the channel.
Remember to tell tell the seller to split the value on the package in shipping and item to avoid unnecessary taxes.
