I have a catleap Q270 I got off ebay. It is amazing. $0 dead pixels and was like $320 shipped. Better than paying $1000 for one domestically.

Some day, I will get one... but since I'm using my LCD's mostly for gaming, that res is going to kill me. LOL

i would imagine that 1/2 resolution (720p) would scale very nicely to its native res and should look good with FSAA

I'm not understanding in the anandtech review what they mean by no internal scaler. Also, dual link dvi. Do you actually run two dvi cables to the monitor or can you run the two cables from the gpu to an adapter and have on;y one cable to the display?

did you have to tear apart the screen to get the mount working? Thats what has been holding me back from one.

Internal scaler as in it will not try to resize the image to 1:1 pixels nor will it upscale the resolution to try to match the native res. It will display other resolutions such as the bios at start up, but it looks stretched.
Dual Link DVI is a standard much like DVI. You don't use two DVI cables. Its pretty much just a DVI cable with more leads. All modern GPUs support DL-DVI, so you just need to buy a cable. The monitor comes with a short one.

Yes. Its only some screws though, so it was painless. You'll also need some washers to space the VESA mount out a bit for a real tight fit. It took me about 10 minutes to install the mount. It was annoying, but well worth the savings. Its definitely not something that should hold you back. Some brands do not need to be taken a part. The Catleap has a rear shroud that covers the VESA holes, which you need to open the monitor up to take off. I think the Achieva and Potalion do not need to be taken a part. Do a little checking around to see.

Huh, I always thought it was the other way around. I thought no scalar meant it displayed inputs at whatever resolution they came in 1:1. So a 640x480 pixel image would be a 640x480 pixel image in the center of the screen. I thought the scalar was what stretched it to try and fit regardless.
Weird.

Hmmm, I know it stretches the BIOS screen. However, it may be the graphics card doing that. I'm not for sure then.

On the original Dell 30in 2560x1600 screen the 3007 which only has a single DVI port had no scaling either aside from being able to display a bios screen, in Windows if you selected anything other than 1280x800 (exactly half) or 2560x1600 the display was a random mess of lines and colours. I assumed these Korean monitors were similar.

im interested in these monitors mostly for their ability to OC the refresh rate.. are there any other IPS displays out there that you can OC the refresh rate? I dont need 120Hz, even 72Hz would be nice (24fps x 3) for movie watching

No, *MY* new girlfriend!~
Nope, only 2B Catleaps and the ones 120hz.net commissioned can overclock.

Some people can get a few more hertz out of the standard monitors, but its nothing big. I've seen 66hz being somewhat typical.
