    That sucks. I would try and send it back. Premium monitors should not have that problem, that is one of the reasons they cost so much.

    Because it's sort of on topic.

    I just received this 27" 2560x1440 from Monoprice.

    The case is low rent, the stand is wonky (but it has VESA mounts) and it only uses dual-link DVI but it's the same LCD panel as the fancy Dell and Apple displays. If someone is looking for a QHD display you might give it a think if all you care about is the screen performance.
    Has a pretty decent warranty/deadpixel policy too.

    Its a pretty recent thing for Monoprice, since the Korean A- panels got really popular this past year.

    Received my monitor today, dunno if i like it, i think it may have uneven colors, but i havent had more then 5 minutes to test it before i had to leave for work.

    My MSI Lightning is Single Link DVI only, whereas the 2560x monitors require Dual Link DVI, so i have to connect it directly to my 7950, we'll see how it does this weekend, will update on sunday with a report of it.

    Also, its quite large and heavy, big metal case, dont think its LED lighting either.
