Hey Guys,

Any of you heard about the new Korean made Catleap monitor?

When i first saw the reviews about it i thought they were teasing Koreans with the whole "Cat" eating thing etc.

More here:

Catleap Q270 : http://www.overclock.net/products/yamakasi-catleap-q270-se-27-led-2560x1440-wqhd-dvi-d-dual-computer-monitor

Plus a 421+ page thread on how good it is here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1215866/reviewed-400-2560x1440-ips-no-ag-90hz-achieva-shimian-qh270-and-catleap-q270

apparently amazing value at very cheap price, predominantly off ebay which already raises flags for me. But thought i would put it out to you guys if you have used one yet?

I see there appears to be no HDMI input??

Ahhhh ok, so its better than HDMI...... Hmm might have to invest in one, but always worry about ebay. Any local Oz suppliers of these?

Not necessarily; as Div mentioned, it depends on the HDMI version. Most HDMI compatible hardware these days is HDMI1.3 and above.

All in all, even though DVI is old tech, it's still very much commonly used with today's PC monitors and graphics cards anyway.

If you're hesitant about buying it off eBay, just review the seller's feedback and if they're all good, then go for the purchase :D

the catleaps have dual link dvi....

been reading a fair bit about them on Overclockers, they seem to be the goods if you can live with the potential of a dead pixel or two for 1/2 the price of a U2711. Not sure whether I'd prefer a Samsung 120hz for gaming though.

So very tempted. Been reading some reviews and the tend to be fairly positive. A few people have received a sub-standard monitor, but that's to be expected as they are advertised as possibly sub-standard.

I've been planning on spending ~$200 on a new 24 once I get my tax back, but I'm seriously thinking of upping that to $320 and trying one of these.

The dead pixels wouldn't bother me, all I'll be using it for is Battlefield 3 and web browsing. Backlight imbalance and colour bleeding wouldn't be much of an issue unless they were bad. I wouldn't want to be retouching photos on one, but it seems for what I want it for, even worst case wouldn't really be bad.

If you do get one Cowboy, you need to give us a full review and your thoughts etc. Yep reviews do looks positive.

You hit the nail on the head, i too am looking once i get my tax return.

Might try and splurge on a 670gtx as well, fallout 4 is a coming!!

For $319 delivered - that is farking cheap.

You could offer him $350 to ensure you get NO dead pixels perhaps, (rather than 5 or more) and then it's be a epic bargain given a Dell IPS is ~$800.

Same guy 340 bucks for one that has no dead pixels

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.

      Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.

      Are you talking about the oil squirters? There is only one place for them to go. Yes, you have to drill the holes. Yes you have to obtain the correct oil squirters (I presume there is some sort of aftermarket option available, because original turbo ones are going to be a diminishing resource).
