    How long did it take to arrive and where did you get it from? All help greatly appreciated.

    Ebay. There are several brands, Yamakasi Catleap, Achieva, PCBank and Crossover.

    This is the one I bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-YAMAKA...item19cec2eb61

    It does not have HDMI though, but there are HDMI models available.

    Delivery takes around 3-4 days (seriously!!).

    --- Post Update ---

    Oh and they all use the same LG lm270wq1 panel which is used in the apple 27" monitors and the Dell U2711. The dell u2711 does not have LED backlight but it is £550+!!

    I'd also imagine the apple 27" is quite a bit more too

    They 100% do, I think it is called "multi" I know it has component, hdmi and dvi

    The only thing is you need a dual link dvi port to be able to do 2560x1440

    Ah, here you go: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1407179872...281%26_rdc%3D1

    They will pay the return shipping if it is faulty, well most sellers will. I know a few of them have refunded in full from just pictures of it not working, as in you don't have to send it back.

    I've only heard of problems from the seller "bigclothcraft"

    I personally bought mine from "green-sum", he used the worlds biggest box with two other boxes sandwiching it in, no chance of it getting damaged :)

    Really tempted. Will have to check my card supports DL. 3-4 days is insane considering passing customs. Quiet time of year for imports I guess.

    I must admit they are ridiculously cheap... Do they have a TW polarizer? (I guess not)

    Most modern cards support dual link DVI, just with laptops etc you'd struggle. That is why I mentioned it.

    I highly doubt it, but at this price!

    I don't know where you are from CorrupT88, but if you are in the USA then they all get through customs with no charges. I think its some kind of trade agreement with south korea
