Seems like a good price for a 27" 2560x1440 resolution monitor.

    Dupe? http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/84031

    This has been the normal price for this item since last November.

    Normal price I think and a rebranded Korean one apparently.

  • jimborino on 27/04/2013 - 21:48

    Pretty sure that's standard price. Still good price though

    No deal. Standard pricing.

  • pmupsinep on 27/04/2013 - 22:15

    Not a "good" price, its the normal price and its an inferior product to brand name monitors which are similarly priced, so there is no bargain here. Plus its Kogan. Get the Dell's which are regularly on sale.

      inferior product to brand name monitors which are similarly priced…

      Can you give some examples of brand name, 27" IPS WQHD displays at a similar price?

    Nice resolution!

    I've been looking at this since my pc build started. 399 is a standard and the 12ms response time is really a deal-breaker.

      12ms response time is really a deal-breaker

      I've seen a few people comment that they're seeing better-than-quoted response times with their display. The games.on.net review above says: "While Kogan specifies it is a 12ms delay panel, testing showed our model running at a grey to grey of closer to 6-8ms". Maybe Kogan is just trying to protect themselves from panel-to-panel variations (particularly when there's a fair chance the panel inside is B-stock which failed Apple's specifications) by providing a conservative response time figure?

    Is there any benefit going for this over the Catleap or similar eBay ones which go for less inc delivery?

      I recently took the plunge and got one for my MacBook Pro on eBAY FROM KOREA - SAMSUNG PLS Panel 27" matt screen (unlike Kogan's Glossy screen) - $326 delivered four days after ordering! Great screen, no dead/bright pixels, 2560x1440 resolution. External power supply, which is a plus. Resolution is comparable to the wife's iMac.

      On the down side, stand is fixed with no adjustment whatsoever (I knew about this beforehand). Screen is tilting back significantly, so I'm investigating Aldi's monitor stand & TV wall bracket as alternatives - Dual Link DVI Adapter is add-on cost - an extortionate $119 from Apple. The Kogan monitor has Displayport input, so no adapter required. Be very wary of so-called " Dual Link" DVI Adapters on eBay for < $30 - They're NOT Dual Link!!

    Cheaper to get a Catleap or Yamakasi, and you would then even have a fair idea of what you are getting if you do your research and shop wisely.

    • asa79 on 28/04/2013 - 08:53

      Links on brands?

    • LoungeLizard on 28/04/2013 - 15:03

      Catleap or Yamakasi

      AFAIK it's a Yamakasi Catleap eg.

      http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-YAMAKASI-CATLEAP-Q270-LED-SE-…

      There's a few threads on Whirlpool about them. Seems to be OK for a budget monitor

      Probably more risky to get a Korean monitor compared to the Kogan since you'd have to return the monitor to Korea to get a refund if there are problems. Some sellers will cover the refund cost but it's really hit and miss. If they don't, it costs >$100.

      Note: I own a Shimian (bought it before the Kogan was out). If the Kogan was $400 delivered, it'd be pretty attractive.

        Probably more risky to get a Korean monitor compared to the Kogan since you'd have to return the monitor to Korea to get a refund if there are problems.

        But, "This Product is offered and supplied by Kogan HK Limited", so, you'll need to return to HK.

        Interesting that Kogan's quoting an award by PC World, yet the product is sold as Presale - nobody knows how production model will perform.

        • kristijan08 on 28/04/2013 - 22:42

          Two valid points there actually. I was once researching the EOC 27" monitor for a budget option but found the review screens were not the same to the production screens (which were inferior).

          If it is just a rebadge of Yamakasi and the warranty isn't local might as well head over to ebay
