You can get Korean 27" 1440p for around $300 these days.

Maybe I should have phrased it better, a 27" 1440p screen is only around 110 PPI. Hell, a 32" screen like this is still only 140 PPI. I'm waiting on either a 1440p screen at 19" (which is over 150 PPI) or a 4k screen at 29", those have pixel densities I don't notice greater precision at at around a meter / yard.
I've had two failures out of three of these we ordered. RMA is a huge pain as well.
A)Your experience isn't typical.

B)You can spend an extra ~$30 for a "pixel perfect" unit.

Actually, the pixel perfect units are not any different. Go read: http://www.overclock.net/t/1384767/official-the-korean-pls-m...
They're exactly the same, except the seller turned it on beforehand to check for defects.
Yep, it's a crapshoot, but I think I'm going to pull the trigger soon on one of these anyway. Can you tell me which of the usual suspects (green-sum, hulustar, bigclothcraft, etc.... you went through?

What exactly was your problem, completely dead panel or massive backlight bleeding?

Just checked the order and it turns out we got two Nixeus WQHD 27" @$450 in August of 2012. After about 6 months we had one panel completely die which we RMA'd and received another one after a decent expense shipping. Shortly after the RMA the second panel we purchased died in a similar fashion. We currently have one that works and are not going to bother with RMAing the other dead panel.
