Yamakasi Catleap monitor club.

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.
