Where are the cheap 2560x1600 IPS displays? I don't want to give up my 16:10 ratio.

Well let's hope that this gets the high-res monitor market up in popularity. Hopefully they'll be releasing that 2560x1600 soon after.

There are "cheaper" 25x16 panels, but they still come in about double (or more) the cheap 1440s.

But there are some. Check ebay.

More cheap huge IPS screens comming to the market this can only be a good thing for all of us. I wish 2560x1440 was the new 1080p

I found the korean ones for $600. Guaranteed 10 dead pixels or your money back. Hah!

I like Monoprice, but there's no chance I'm buying a high-end monitor from guys who made their name selling cheap stuff.

Hopefully they have a proper stand and a decent selection of inputs. OSD too please.

The description in the article sounds exactly like a cat leap....

I'll be surprised if they satisify me. It will need to have a DVI input (for legacy use) and minimal processing (for less added input lag with legacy hardware and no scaler) and then a DP 1.2 input that turned off all processing for DP connections. 1920x1200 would be a high enough res at 24 in or less but 2560x1440 is fine.

The A+ IPS panel I need would have to be designed with an RGBLED that is spec'd to last at continuous 325cd/m^2 brightness for >=125k hrs and non-PWM control would be necessary also. I'd want it to be an A+ IPS panel (full RGB8 bit native no dithering, but native RGB10 bit would be an added bonus) with near AMVA contrast levels (800:1 minimum at 275 cd/m^2 brightness) and to fully support 120 Hz input (greater than 120 Hz without any panel processing on would be an added bonus). Also, I'd like the viewing angle to be better than that of my Apple LED 24 in Cinema display. Build quality needs to be high as would panel uniformity (99% uniformity). It would need to have a maximum pixel response of 13ms, and a typical average response time of less than 7 ms.

I'd need extra long lasting power circuitry that results in <=.1% VDC output ripple and rail regulation of -[.025, -.025] plus good ESR levels at nominal input voltage (100-264 VAC) and at >=1/3 load. I'd love for them to use a 14 gauge 4 nines oxygen free copper AC power cord (6-7 ft) and if they can't, then a standard IEC input would be good so I could use my own power cord.

I'd also need it to be glossy (zero haze factor), but not with glass.

From Monoprice? :hmm: I can already tell you that you will not be satisfied.

My guess is it will be targeting the $400 market set by Microcenter's Auria and other related version like the Nixeus (or any non-Korean displays) that all use the LG panels that aren't A+. I am really fond of Monoprice, maybe I'll buy from them...

I would say they made their name selling cheap, good quality stuff. I am guessing your not a fan of Lexus than either? ;)

Love them for cables. I won't need a new monitor for years (just bought a Dell U2412M this past summer), but I'd take a look at them when I do.

might as well demand OLED while you're at it

this seems like a move to offer cheap higher end LCDs, not ultra high end and completely unrealistic fantasy LCDs that would cost $1400+ per your demands

It's more like I'm not a fan of these low-grade panels and the equally low grade bezels and display controllers they're paired with. Cheap & merely "good" is at odds with something you're going to stare at for the next 5+ years.

Their cables might be cheap, but I've always been very impressed by their quality.

I'm excited they are getting in to the Monitor business.

Few of us are prepared to spend $1000 on a monitor though.
