Any Korean 27" WQHD monitor with DisplayPort?

[fffblackmage]

Well, there's one, and it's the Nixeus Vue that was reviewed not too long ago. However, rather than $430 at the time of the review, it's currently $500 at Comp-U-Plus. Are there any other alternatives?

im not sure, quick searching seems the AD board ones just come with a VGA and HDMI but no Display Port

Yes, it's sold at Microcenter for $399:

Nice thing is you know you'll be able to check it out at the store, perhaps even open it and verify the pixels before getting into your car and driving home.

I saw a few of those too. Unfortunately, VGA sounds like a terrible idea for 2560*1440 and IME, HDMI just isn't very suitable for monitor use. DVI-I works alright, but I just want the option of being able to use Eyefinity.

Oh, I saw that a short while ago. I have a Microcenter maybe 1 hour away, but with the gas shortage here in the west coast, I guess I won't be going anytime soon.

you can use active display port to DL-DVI adapters however they are ~100$ a pop

which actually equals out if you buy the cheap monitors and adapters vs the ad board models which cost ~100$ more

So I have been using the BizLink DP to DL-DVI active adapter. It's about $45, but we'll see just how reliable it is...

So I've been doing some more research on an adapter as Anubis suggested. I'm currently looking into that Bizlink adapter as well, since it's decently cheap on ebay.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

I picked up the Monoprice adapter for $65. Works reasonably well. Every now and then I get a message on boot up from CCC that the display port is out of synch or something. Picture is fine though so I just click cancel.

I do wonder about these various adapters how much delay they introduce? I only game on my primary monitor, but if I ever wanted to go with a surround setup, I would be interested in knowing.

Yeah there are lots of wqhd with displayport on ebay. Ebay is the place to go for stuff like this. The online stores have worse prices AND worse products. I have a crossover 27" myself.
