I'm looking for a 4k monitor and their prices are pretty decent. I'm always weary of buying stuff like this on ebay as there are too many variables that can go wrong and shipping back/forth is a pain and expensive. I'm looking a crossover 28' 4k monitor.

i've never done it but seen plenty of slickdeal people suggest it. monitor gets shipped from Korea, instructions are all in Korean, you may need a power adapter.

I don't know if it's the same seller but I bought IPS Qnix Perfect Pixel 27" 1440p last year after my dell monitor started showing weird vertical yellow lines whenever it wanted to.

I had a good experience for the value.

Remember that using ebay all the power is on the buyers side so make the seller pay for shipping if there is a issue you don't like and if they refuse ebay will refund you. ;)

Bought a Yamakasi 2703 27" 1440p monitor July 2012 from this seller via eBay, IIRC for $280. Received it about 2 business days from S.Korea via DHL. Got the correct USA plug.
The included 6' DVI-I (Dual-Link) cable was too short for my use, needed a 9' which I had to buy from Monoprice. Monitor screen almost perfect except 1 dead pixel/dust particle, which I can barely notice.

I purchased the 2 Shimian QH450s? from them 4 or so years ago when the 17" 1440p monitors were all the rage

no issues, they came direct from SK, via fedex in 3 days
