    Those are pretty popular around here. Or at least were a year or two ago when they were first released (I'm assuming a lot of people are still happily using them). Not as popular now as the technology isn't as expensive as it once was, and the bezels are pretty damn massive. That is still a very nice price though.

    Found this, which has some excellent reviews if you want alternatives. You probably won't beat that price though for 1440p and IPS (PLS, VA, AHVA, are other names for similar tech which has great colour reproduction and viewing angles)

    Hmmm I'm wondering with customs would I be caught (probably)

    i have a similar screen to the one in the op, 3 years old at this stage. bit of backlight bleed at the bottom, nothing major although possibly pretty irritating if you notice it and can't un notice it. screen's not spotless clean either. only reason i'm getting rid of it is i just can't deal with the glossy screen any more. i'd let it go for 120 collected, it's just going to take up space on my desk since I got my new monitor today. would have to be collected from carlow though, i've no box for it any more and i'm not shipping it.

    if all you're after it for is coding then it's a fairly decent screen for cheap.

    Someone mentioned possibly selling one of the qinx monitors as they got a different one think in off topic thread. Maybe give them a shout

    The benq one looks decent. What's your setup?

    That would be tempting if i could get to carlow! What inputs does it have?

    dvi only, it's one of the ones without any OSD or anything like that. just straight pc dvi to monitor, nothing else.

    I'm in Wexford town but I could come up for a look anyway. I'm looking to go up to 1440p this year anyway and getting it 2nd hand wouldn't bother me

    No probs. I'd never make it to Carlow unfortunately. If anyone knows of anything Cork directed let me know.

    If anyone knows of any deals just shout.

    If you want, looking at some of the german websites could lead to savings. I'll have a look on geizhals now.
    http://geizhals.eu/?cat=monlcd19wide&xf=5137_2560x1440~99_27#xf_top

    That doesn't specify the panel type, so there are 10 TN panels mixed in there.
    http://geizhals.eu/?cat=monlcd19wide&xf=99_27~5137_2560x1440~106_1#xf_top
    That link will only look for 1440p, 27" and IPS panel.

    The BenQ linked above shows up again though.
    http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_gw2765ht.htm
    That review website is probably the most through monitor reviewer I've seen. It's pretty well respected. Give that a read down and see if it would suit you.

    Any idea about hannspree?

    Looks like a decent price.

    I actually just bought qnix multi 1440p from ebay and I was able to overclock it to 90FPS. It's great for the price but I would recommend to go with the non multi edition if you play games on your pc.

    The monitor is great for programming but I had to tweak the colors especially for Visual Studios Dark Theme.

    In addition you seriously need multiple monitors for programming only - (Any 24in Dell wide screen x 2)

    The response time is a bit too high no?

    I really don't know much in relation to response times etc. coding away on an imac and moving to a laptop so looking for the easiest transition. Like being able to see a truck load of code on one screen :D

    Why not get a new imac?
    For programming only get any monitor but if you will play any games at all then go for any of the qnix or (Low response time monitor <= 4ms and 1440p).

    Need the laptop for client side meetings, on site work etc.

    Good to know about response times etc.
