I just picked up two of these from my local Micro Center (yes, they're still around...)

http://www.microcenter.com/product/384780/EQ276W_27_IPS_LED_Monitor

Key points:
  • IPS panel
  • 2560x1440 resolution
  • DVI-D, HDMI (only 1080p), VGA, and DP inputs
  • Power brick (odd)
  • No integral USB hub
  • CHEAP! $400

These are basically the same panels Dell and Apple use in their $1000 27" screens. Everything about them screams spartan. The stand is garbage, the fact that it has a power brick vs integral convertor is... strange. And it's annoying not having a USB hub integrated; I usually make good use of those. The most important bit is that the color is way F'd up from the factory so it desperately needs to be profiled.

But, for $400? Hard to complain too loudly.

I'm liking mine so far. I'm not gaming with them; I have them connected to my video editing rig. The reviews of them say they game just fine, but I can't say for sure.

I'd like to know where I can get $400 cheap...without resorting to donating orifices or fluids.
