Yamakasi Catleap is a 27" 2560x1440 IPS panel. The Dell U2711 for example shares most of the same specs but retails for nearly three times the price. It's an unbelievable bargain for a screen of it's quality but the only thing to look out for is customs charges, and the possibility that your monitor could be DOA. They charge a lot to ship it back to Korea and it's not worth your while.

Try www.amazon.co.uk. Was browsing through it last night & a lot of monitors came up. Some on very good money. Might be something there to suit you.

If 27 inches is too big, have a look at the U2312HM.

http://komplett.ie/Komplett/product/monitors/20097160/dell_23_u2312hm_lcd_8ms_vga_dvi_d/details.aspx is probably the cheapest for the Dell.

http://komplett.ie/Komplett/product/monitors/80003372/dell_24_u2412m_led_8ms_dp_vga_dvi/details.aspx Same thing, only an inch bigger and 1920x1200 as opposed to 1920x1080.

I asked this over on the catleap thread, but doubt anyone noticed.
Are the latest yamakasi monitors available capable of 120hz, and how exactly do you go about 'overclocking' a screen?

Not all Catleaps will overclock, only 2B serials. Check out http://120hz.net for info.
