Just made a purchase on qoo10.sg for a 27" Crossover Black Tune 2735AMG monitor. It's the one with the glossy tempered glass, that makes it look like the apple cinema monitor. Paid just S$430.89 for it..

Original Price on qoo10.sg: S$489.89
Seller Discount: -S$40.00
Item Discount Coupon: -S$10.00
Cart Discount Coupon: -S$5.00
Qpoint payment: -S$5.00

Final amount I paid: S$430.89

Can't wait to receive it.. Hope my GTX460 can run it smoothly for photo-editing and watching 1080p movies.. Don't really plan to game with it on native resolution since it will just kill my graphics card..

eh bro. hows the quality? been wanting to get this particular model coz of the look for quite sometime now... but heard quite bad backlight bleed....

btw. will backlight bleed affect day to day gaming usage? will change the screen color or not?

thanks for the info. might go down on sunday afternoon to get it :) still thinking about it

Save your money.. 27" monitor at 1080p only. Lesser PPI than a 23" bro, and if you really want a 1080p at 27", many look for cheaper alternatives such as AOC and Dell. Asus sells so premium price..

1440P is 80% MORE pixels than 1080P, you can hoot a korean 1440P monitor at much lower than $500... If you stack gmarket coupons well enough, $36x only can get crossover 27Q.

Mine have almost no backlight bleed, just minor at the side but can hardly see.
Even my iPhone bleed more than this. Anyway, many phone and devices and other monitor also have BLB issues, most people just cant tell only. Because if it's not damn serious, it doesn't affect usage at all unless you playing in the dark. Even so, only when have very dark or black colors on your screen only then you can see that it has a lighter shade due to bleeding light from the sides/hind.

BLB/Dead Pixels should be the least of your worries when thinking of getting a Korean 1440P.

Just a question. Has anyone used this for long hours like 50 hours a week?

It is my workstation, so many times I have use excessively >50hours/week.
No issues thus far, have this monitor for at least 3months already I think?

I bought from AccessoriesWhole(he sell on both ebay and qoo10)
Ebay or qoo10 doesnt matter, but I bought from qoo10 since Crossover 27Q cheaper, plus I was able to stack coupons until it went down to $36x.

If you want other models, Ebay might be cheaper and more available than qoo10.

How can I stack qoo10 coupon to bring down the pricing?

You see lor, sometime got like $10 item coupon for anything you buy over $100.
Then got Cart coupon also, sometime they give $2~7.
Cart can stack with Item coupon.

Not always they give coupon though, best is subscribe to them and check email. And click around the complicated website.

seems like cant find matted monitor from crossover. Only found X-star and Qnix that has matted screed. Has anyone has experience on these 2?

As my computer table is near the window, thus i think it is better to use matted screen

Hi bro, dont think panel reflectivity will be a problem with Crossover monitors. The panel is really not glossy to feel at all. Wont leave any fingerprints on it - so you get the idea how much 'gloss' it is.

The brightness is also on the higher end, might be great for you since just beside window.

No experience with other Korean monitors, so cant comment, but dont be put off by the 'gloss' in the 27Q!
