Default Yamakasi monitor

I searched the web a little about these Korean monitors and have decided to have a punt at one, its the 30" 2560x1600 perfect pixel one and I bought it from one of the sellers on ebay who seems to have the best reputation for selling these LG panel monitors.

It should be here next week so I'm looking forward to seeing what a lot of my games look like in proper high res

Thought about buying one of these last year, but wasn't brave enough

Hope you get a good un Steve without any light bleed or dead pixels, i wouldn't fancy having to return a monitor to South Korea, it wouldn't be quick waiting for a replacement, probably wouldn't be cheap to send either.

It arrived today and is plugged in now, I can't see any dead pixels or light bleed so happy. I had to use their cable as mine would not give a picture.

I have also had to increase the txt size in the display as the internet was lost in the high res screen. I have just put Battlefield 4 on with 2560x1600 and everything else set high and it plays and looks excellent

Glad you got a good one Steve, yeh you'll have to up the zoom with a resolution like that, web pages will look tiny. On Chrome ive set the zoom to 125% which is perfect on a 2560 x 1440 screen.

I have mine set at 150% and there is still a lot of space at the side of each web page.
