So it's been around 3 years since Logan's video on the X-star/Qnix 1440p monitors.
Since the video I've gotten myself a 21:9 display, but I've been meaning to get a couple of value 27" monitors for either side.
So, to those of you who own any of these Korean monitors, how have they fared throughout the years?

I kind of eyeing this one myself.
But yeah, not sure about potential long term problems. I'm currently using a Samsung 28" 4k display and I've been having one persistent issue - sometimes it doesn't actually turn on. I turn on the PC, but the display stays off. Have to force shut down and turn on again.
Hey ! 3 AMH and 1 Crossover owner ! 1 x amh a399U, 2 x amh a409u and 1 x crossover 404..........All doing well and no problems yet ! 1 409 is on every day.
Units purchased between april and july 2015 from Dreamseller.
No defective pixels, from the start (lucky me....bought at the right time) and I had problems with one unit that would shut off after about 20 to 40 seconds and it was replaced without any delay or charge !
Bleed is hardly noticeable, I have to look for it ! and color balance is good. (they do require a few minutes to stabilize color wise)
All monitors on 7990/r9 390II 16gb/gtx690
edit 1 = special note, they are ALL on smart UPS (line voltage regulation in case of over or under voltages)
I've had the Qnix QX2710 for 2 years now as my main monitor, absolutely no regrets. I usually shut down my PC when I know I'll be out the house for awhile but my monitors have been on pretty much since I set them up, I'd say it has anywhere from 12,000-15,000 hours of operation while receiving a signal, and so far the Qnix hasn't skipped a beat. Its advertised to do up to 120Hz when OC'd but in my experience, anything above 75Hz you get significant dropped frames.
Overall, I'd definitely say it was a worth-while investment. I really wish they made one with freesync, it would be my next monitor if they did, but I also plan on getting one of the Korean 40" 4K models to use as my main.

I got the X-star 1440p straight after that video and i've used it daily, still works a gem. The only annoyance was not with the monitor itself but with UK customs. I got charged £80 ($105.07) for import and all that.
I've only had the crossover 289k for about 6 months now. But still no problems. Works perfectly, no dead pixels at all. Managed to get a desk mount for it and it feels a lot better than just default stand. Even tho the default stand is surprisingly high quality for a "cheap" monitor.
