They look pretty darn nice for the money. I've been happily gaming on my 27" 1440p for quite some time but with Fallout 4 coming out (my favorite series) I've been having the itch for some sort of upgrade. I'm seriously considering grabbing the Crossover 404k and a 980ti and playing through Fallout 3 and New Vegas with mad mods, to hold me over until Fallout 4's release. I may even do another playthrough of a modded Skyrim before then.

This thread is a great read and a few of the guys make a statement as to why it's better to spend the extra money and grab the Crossover (that's now only $30 more):

Uniformity is generally poor on these displays in comparison to a typical monitor. There are going to be obvious light and dark spots on the display even in a brightly lit room.

Also the anti-glare coating may be applied poorly and you'll get dirt trapped underneath or air pockets. I've tried both the Wasabi Mango 42" and the Crossover 434K and I thought I had bought a $100 monitor or something and promptly returned them both.

For gaming they can be pretty fantastic with the large screen and glossy displays but it'll be pretty distracting reading a web page or typing a word document with the uniformity and poor QA. One of displays I had even had a bit of streak of liquid crystal that had leaked down in a line. Let's just say if you are going to employ them for daily use you may need to lower your expectations.

I'm of course only referring to ones ordered directly from Korea. Stateside sellers may be selling product that's of higher quality.
