It was't so long ago that an upgrade to a 27" 2560—1440 pixel monitor couldn't be done for under a $1000 and these were considered the highest of niche displays for the gamer and PC enthusiast. Today, value priced Korean units can be found at $319 or lower, realizing at least a 50% savings when compared to current brand name 2560—1440 display prices. In our offices, we have no less than 7 Samsung monitors/TVs and would never had considered this option but for one thing. They contain Samsung's own PLS panel. It was time to visit our friends at RFD and investigate a bit further.159 pages of further as a matter of fact.

This sent us to a company called 2560—1440.Com where we were able to do a bit of a background to help in our decision. The company is based out of Goyang, South Korea and sells just about every no-name brand monitor we could find. The advantage we had was that, as we were conducting background for this report, we could get the answers that most would ask before considering such a purchase.
