The Monoprice zero-g has gone as low as $312 + 18 shipping with a 20% off coupon @ monoprice but those 20% are few and far between. If it would drop to $300-330 shipped I would jump on it. The korean panel run about $279 free shipping. The Monprice pro glass 27" IPS Monitor is running $399.99 @ Rakuten.com and they just had 13% cash back so thats $52 on your next purchase but they have a rep for stealing Credit card numbers. So I have done a lot research and these Monoprice Monitors seem to be the best deal but when they offer a 20%. So maybe you guys at massdrop can negotiate a better price considering they offer a 20% off all the time. See what you guys can do. Im a buyer at that price.
Final update for this poll: We've successfully sourced and listed the Monoprice 27" Zero-G monitor. The Massdrop price is $349, which is the lowest price a monitor of this quality has been listed.

The AOC definitely is the most aesthetically pleasing to me, too bad it's only 1920x1080 or I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Hey - time for another update. We've confirmed that we will be able to get the Monoprice Zero G. As for price, we'll be doing everything we can to get it down to the Korean price point however we havent yet finalized pricing at this time.
We'll be listing the product up on our site within the next couple of days so be sure to check back soon. In the meantime, start spreading the word - the bigger the group, the better the price we'll all get.
Thanks for the update, Steve! To clarify, are you speaking with Monoprice about the ZERO-G? The CrystalPro seems to be discontinued and has had a few problems with consumers. The ZERO-G is being touted as the update. This is important to me due to the ZERO-G being tested and working with Mac computers.
Alright, after a lot of calls and follow ups, we have a more substantial update for this poll.
We spoke with Dell and although they were willing to work with the group, they couldn't give us good enough pricing for us to agree to go with them (at least by Massdrop standards). We then followed up with Catleap and although their pricing was good, they couldn't guarantee pixel perfect monitors (their definition of "pixel perfect" only counts white/red pixels as defective so you can end up with black dead pixels and no support from the manufacturer). That policy was the same across the Korean A- panel brands.
That said, we have been working closely with Monoprice to get their 2560x1440 27" listed for you. Prices will be similar to what you'd pay for a Catleap on ebay BUT these monitors will have ZERO dead pixels and Monoprice uses only A+ panels.
We're still in the final stages of closing but if this goes through, it'll be one of the best situations possible for the group. You'll be able to get Apple quality, A+ panels at the korean monitor price point. We just would need to make sure that we have enough people lined up. Again, no promises yet, but we'll keep you updated as we get more info.
Unforunate that Dell couldn't give us a better price. :(<br /><br />I am not a big fan of the actual measured contrast ratio of these lower tier monitors.
