Which Korean Monitor?

1

Hello.
I'm currently using 2 1080p monitors. A TN and an IPS. These are both run with a gtx 780. I'm thinking about getting a 1440p monitor to pair with the IPS 1080p monitor. So, still just 2 monitors.
I like the real estate and productivity of 2 monitors. Plus I'm interested in 1440p gaming. But I don't want to skimp on the panel quality either. I like color accuracy. I'm not sure if VA or IPS are better.
Anyways, I found these two on eBay that are pretty cheap and seem good.
Does anyone have any experience with these?

I'm trying to keep this under $300.
Any and all advice is welcome! Thanks.

I purchased the qnix recently and have had not issues with it. 1440p is a great jump from 1080p and the color looks great though I wouldn't consider myself as someone who could spot whether it wasn't accurate or not as it is my first monitor i spent good money on. The stand is not great at all but gets the job done. Also you can overlock the monitor but i haven't gotten around to it. I would recommend the qnix

I picked up this one recently and it's perfect, doesn't come with any glass though, it's only $180 though

So is that considered "de-glassed". Wendell mentioned he did something similar in his 39" 4k tv video.
What are the benefits/drawbacks from it having no glass? I'd imagine 0% glare, but I don't know.
That's pretty cheap, though. It's makes excited, but cautious about it.
Mind if I ask which Amazon seller you bought from?

I'd imagine it just makes it cheaper for them to sell, the monitor is till a bit glossy but it isn't too bad.

The one fulfilled by amazon I think.

Wow. This is tempting. I think I might be sold.

Logan actually has a review on that specific monitor if you want to check it out just search shimian in the Tek channel should come up.

Yes. I was looking more into it. He seems to favor/think his x-star is the better monitor.
But it's just so hard to argue with $190 for an IPS 1440p monitor. haha.

Its an apple cinema display for 190 can't be argued with if you ask me haha. It's actually the one i'm going to get soon

Having a tough time deciding which Korean one to pick myself. Logan seems to like the X-Star monitor, but everyone on Overclockers.net is saying to pick up the Crossover 2795HD, which I haven't seen the tek mention anything about. Not sure which looks better also regarding the Samsung vs LG panel although I'm guessing both look fantasic.
