The item was marked as a gift with a value of $100. A fake invoice of $100 was also added. I wonder if the size of the huge outside box brought more attention to customs. A smaller package may be less conspicuous.

Thanks to the OP, to brucethemoose, and to everyone for bringing attention to these bargain monitors. purchased ACHIEVA Shimian QH270-Lite from green-sum on mar 14 for $378 shipped on Mar 22, with tracking number Arrived in Canada Mar 23 released from customs on Mar 26 delivered on Mar 28 Paid...

Any owners of the GTX680 manage to fit it into an Antec Solo case? It looks like it may barely fit without having to cut off a notch from the harddrive cage Does it prevent 2 harddrives in the cage from being inserted, or just 1? Does the GTX680 rub against the northbridge heatsink on...

Those who ordered the panel in late feb and early mar got a C version which was assembled in march. This would indicate they are building them as they are being ordered, right off the assembly line. A group buy asking for the "B" version may have clout with the manufacturer. It would...

At the moment, I am using a CRT with the brightness set very low because it is easier on the eyes. When I watch trailers on webpages, I use the Nvidia Color Correction at the bottom of the task bar to quickly adjust brightness. I am using an old nvidia driver because the new ones no longer...

What happens if the game resolution is set to 1024x768, will there be black bars all around?

Did anyone ship one into Canada yet? I would like to know if customs will add a charge.

The HP ZR2740W has no scalar, so maybe someone has experience with how the no scalar functions. Someone please confirm what will happen exactly. I am thinking of getting something like a 7850 to drive the panel that has no scalar. If I game at eg. 1024x768, what will be displayed? 1)...

Why would the 9500GT not be able to work with the Shimian or Catleap displays? The 9500GT has a Dual link DVI connector and is able to display at 2560x1440. What would cause it not to work? Maybe there are some 9500GT cards that do not have a Dual Link DVI port? Does this mean some video...

Backlight bleed mod http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1032268 Backlight bleed mod is one of the few things that we can do, and since the Samsung has that problem, it is worth considering. Everyone who has flexed the bezel seems to be able to affect the BLB. Silicone Tape might work. I am...

peppergomez, Another option, get the Samsung again, and try fixing the backlight bleed using SILICONE tape. It is very soft and is used to create air tight and water tight seals.

What we need is a backlight bleed mod for the samsung. Eventually someone will take it apart and find a fix for it. Might be similar to the Dell 2005FPW mod using black tape.

If you made it worse by flexing it, then it may also be possible to make it better by flexing it again. Try flexing it along the entire length of the bezel to straighten it out. At the end, you really have no choice but to return it and try again. If you don't, it will drive you mad. At this...

NC1X has the Samsung on sale for $849.99. Send them an email, they might do a price match for $816? It is probably best to wait a while before picking this one up. How long does it usually take for the next revision? 3 Months? If the frame is so flimsy, shouldn't it be possible to flex it a...

No one has mentioned any dead pixels with this monitor. N C I X Express Coverage is for dead/stuck pixels and does not apply to backlight bleed, and since no one has mentioned any dead pixels it might not be worth it to pay extra for the coverage? Memory Express has a 7 day no questions asked...

Is there a Canadian equivalent?

Does Samsung have a reputation for having severe Backlight bleed in all its monitors, or is the backlight bleed problem a result of having EDGE lit LEDs? Will the backlight bleed problem abate further into production when quality control is improved or will this always be a problem because the...

Is that a defective unit? Colors graying out at 45 degrees sounds more like TN than PLS. Someone please confirm or refute that please.

Does it come with DVI cable? Response compared to the Dell 2412? Does the response seem to be "fast"? Are you not using the native resolution? Does text look sharp at native resolution with DPI increased from 96 to 110?

A monitor is Returned when it: has a dead pixel has dust particles has uneven backlighting has scratches on the surface When the AG layer is removed, isn't there residual glue on the surface? If a glass layer is placed over the polarizer, won't there be dust particles inside? So if these...

smonska, If you haven't already thrown away the AG layer, perhaps you could give it a try?

Did the backlight improve over the past few days? Maybe the blue "zing" is from the LEDs being too blue iso (instead of) white? Can the stand be taken apart and the top plastic part shorten with a hack saw to lower it? Will the 27in model have better color because it is 8 bits iso 6 bits...

From the review, "One real disappointment is that there is no 1:1 pixel mode." If I only connect the monitor to a PC, is 1:1 pixel mode even necessary?

Contrast ratio is around 800 which is much better than the pre-production figures. Is 800 good enough?

How is it for 720p/1080p movies? Is the Backlight so perfect that it is not worth mentioning? Ghosting? Fit and finish? PLS Glow? Sturdy stand? Perfect AG coating that does not shimmer?

yourgrandma, How does 720p video look at full screen? 1080p video at full screen? Is the scaling good? Some people massage the panel, or flex the bezel a bit and it tends to reduce the BLB. From your pics above, the BLB seems to have improved a bit at the lowest intensity?

Bladestorm, RE: Backlighting and PLS glow How does the one you returned compare to the pic above with the horrible backlight bleed at the bottom left and right, was it much better? I am thinking of getting this monitor regardless of backlight bleed and PLS glow because there are no real better...

re: Best Buy / Future Shop return policy: If you buy a monitor from Best Buy and you find a single dead/stuck pixel, can you return it for a full refund within 30 days, or do they just give you store credit? What about Future Shop, can you return the monitor for a full refund within 30 days?

hi re: ZR24W to Canada Spoke with HP rep via live chat and he said the HP warranty is VOID outside the US. Perhaps you can provide some more info on the monitor OSD hours on the backlight? Is it calibrated? Backlight bleed? Tinting? Severity of IPS glow? Buzzing noise at low brightness...

How is the ghosting when playing AVP 2010?

Thinking of buying this from NCIX with the Express coverage for dead pixels. But what if there are no dead pixels and the problem is with backlight bleeding or blue pink tinting, will Express Coverage allow me to return it? Is it even worth getting the Express Coverage? Does anyone have...

How long is it? Don't think it will fit inside my case.

I am using an nvidia card now, and I noticed all of the drivers since 170? and up no longer have the small Color Correction at the bottom of the task bar. I have lost hope that nvidia will ever bring that back. The reason I use color correction is that my desktop is usually dark because it...

does it still have the classic controls? i prefer the classic controls because everytime i watch a movie with subs, i have to adjust the brightness

When the Nehalem replaces the Yorkfield in early 2009, will the Q9650 drop to $316?
