Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

FAQ:- These are purchased on eBay from South Korea. Suggested sellers are Samsung_Korea, GreenSum and BigCloth
- 2B models (READ: those shipped in February 2012 and 120hz.net exclusive limited runs) Catleap monitors can be overclocked to run 100hz+
- Newer Catleaps seem to have a top OC limit of 65-67hz.
- A PCB swap is possible to make newer Catleaps OC to 100hz+ and 120hz.net has been looking for a factory to produce the PCB, but its a difficult job, and only expected in 2013. The PCB when produced is expected to cost $50-$80 and will be in a very limited supply.
- No 240V/120V step down transformer or EU adapter needed. All you need is a generic PSU cable (AKA kettle lead)
- It's a glossy display, no AG coating
- Inputs will vary depending on the model you purchased. Dual DVI, audio, power, and HDMI are the only inputs (most will have power/DVI only.)
- It's an 8 bit display.
- No OSD (on this basic "Lite" model), just LED backlight brightness (and volume as applicable).
- It has an LG IPS LCD panel, the same one found in 27" iMacs. The Dell u2711 uses the LM270WQ2, these use the LM270WQ1.
- Yes, it's fine for gaming. Due to the lack of any extra inputs input lag is on par with a 720p TV. only the very best FPS players could argue for a lower GtoG lag time. I went from a 2ms panel to this and I cant tell a difference, aside from the catleap being incredible.
- It's 60hz default, not 120hz.
- Monitor has a VESA mount (3" square). a portion of plastic at the rear is easily removable for easy access to it.
- There may be a valid manufacturer's warranty, but it requires you to ship the monitor back to Korea (roughly $130 shipping.) Some sellers have started offering 14 day returns (same deal with shipping costs though.)
- The stand does tilt back and is pretty wobbly.
- Some sellers ship FedEx others EMS. EMS, once it enters the Ireland, is handed over to An Post.
- There are more models, similar to Catleap out there, They're using the same panel but different stands etc. other are the Achievia Shiminay etc Only the catleap has the potential to overclock.
- expect to be hit by customs anywhere from €50-€80. budget for it. Fedex usually posts you the letter a week after you receive it, but may hold it and expect customs upfront, as well as proof of purchase.
- Delivery is usually between 3-6 days to Ireland.

Gonna start a thread on this instead of spamming the off topic thread.
it'll also suffice as a log for my experiences with sending a rather large amount of money to Korea.
I've literally just hit the buy button on a $358 27" S-IPS 2560*1440 Yamakasi Catleap monitor after the seller gave me the all clear to go ahead*
I'm shaking with either excitement, or my lung infection drugs are kicking in. I'm not sure. I'm happy anyway
I asked to have it marked as low value gift for customs, but its fedex so I'm not holding my breath. they declare everything.
*more on this later, if my evil scheme works;)
Best of luck with it Tea_Bag, hope it goes well.
Btw, you ask them to mark it "repaired return" as well-worked on a few bits from US for me..0 -

yea that sounds like a good idea. probably too late to tell them though. ive sent enough messages to them to be annoying already. 90% of people get off without paying customs anyway.Best of luck with it Tea_Bag, hope it goes well.

it hasnt appeared on my online bank statement yet, but it was $358.60 which im hoping will work out around €280 or less.
Delivery times, you're looking at 2 days for prep, then 5 working days shipping. all goes to plan, and no customs lag, maybe i'll get it next wednesday.:D0 -

Anyway, cheers for doing it m8. We will learn from your mistakes
.
I just so wonder now, if you go bigger resolution on single monitor, will your FOV go bigger to in games like bf3? Or FOV only goes bigger in eyefinity setups?0 -

You should be grateful that I'm spending my friday evening extensively testing your monitor for 6 hours to ensure its of the highest quality possible

My monitor arrived! its huge. 27" is really big. didn't come in bubble wrap or an extra box, so I was a bit worried that it might be damaged, but its perfect. no dead pixels, stuck pixels or any bleed whatsoever, but ill double verify the bleed later, I'm not sure as its too bright to tell, ill have to wait till night time darkness.
the stand is cheap, no doubt about it, but its perfectly fine. no tilt as some users reported.
its my first IPS screen, so I've nothing to compare it to, but it really is stunning. the picture is so crisp.
played a short round of BF3 (64player operation Firestorm) just to get an idea of fps on a 6970CF (12.2drivers) setup till I put my PC back together, and keeping everything on ultra but dropping down to 2xMSAA gives me a solid 65-80fps, and doesn't drop below 60 even with tanks blowing up around me. to say I'm happy with that is an understatement. the game also looks fantastic.
ran the F1 2011 benchmark with everything ultra and the picture is just spectacular. the colours come alive. average framerate was 74, and minimum was 62fps so the graphics cards are really shining.
I've never seen black and white look so good, and I'm very pedantic about movie quality. and the viewing angles. just wow.
I didn't pay customs, but the box had been opened and resealed with FedEX tape. the invoice was made out for $150. a sticker on the side said it went through 'chemical examinations' apparently?
I ordered Sunday 11pm or something, it was dispatched on the 26th March, and it traveled through Korea, China, kazakstan, Germany, France, cork, Shannon then to my door in 5 days. that's unbelievable.
NTMK spent 20min on it, and says he's definitely buying one
its a 2C model, so I haven't bothered trying to overclock it.
@VenomIreland
a 60hz monitor can only display 60fps. if you shot that to 100hz, it'll display 100fps (if your graphics card can handle it), so its apparently a much smoother gameplay.0 -
